No, CNN Commentator, The NRA Didn’t Train The Florida Shooter, That’s A Total Garbage Lie

Oh, well, they wouldn’t be the liberal media without dishing out total trash about gun politics. Take this lie about their favorite punching bag, the National Rifle Association. The lefty outlet Think Progress and others tried to smear the NRA for training Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz:

Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old who charged with murdering 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, honed his marksmanship skills in a school program supported by the NRA. Cruz was, according to the Associated Press, a member of the school’s four-person varsity marksmanship team, which received a $10,000 grant from the NRA in 2016.

The marksmanship team was part of the schools’ JROTC program. On the team, Cruz trained with “air rifles special-made for target shooting, typically on indoor ranges at targets the size of a coin.”

Cruz discussed his AR-15 with other team members and was given the nickname “Wolf.” Another member of the team described him as “a very good shot.”

There is a lot that's not right about David Hogg BUT, one of the graphics that you posted is from an Antifa parody account that claims to be in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It's the SAME account that posted the false graphic of a kid that looked like Cruz, wearing an Antifa shirt.

As usual, the left is blaming everyone but the shooter.

They have no idea that the NRA training is all about safe and responsible use of weapons - if all the shooters had been NRA members following the NRA’s teachings, they wouldn’t have been mass killers....
