Then you’re calling out the wrong organization.
NRA instructors don’t work for the NRA. They are independent, and many (maybe most?) of them are volunteers who don’t make a profit off their work. When you call on “the NRA to offer a free program” what you are really saying is that “these independent volunteers should work unreimbursed.” Sorry, Massa, we decline.
If you want this program to be “subsidized by the gun and sporting goods industries and donations,” you need to be hitting up the NSSF, not the NRA. Feel free to do that. We’ll wait here for you to tell us all how successful you were.
I did not suggest they did. You are refuting your own strawman.

You are making stuff up, then falsely trying to insert your words into my mouth. I never said any such thing. Either quote me honestly or not at all.

With an attitude like yours it would be impossible to accomplish anything at all. Good luck with that.
