Pick up a copy of the NRA's American Rifleman magazine and educate yourself.

If something ever happens? If it does the people that start the problem will bring it to the wrong place. No sane person wants to use a weapon to harm somebody though if you bring the trouble you will have to face the result. Joe Stalin took the guns and he killed more people than even Hitler. NRA life member, I am. I was active duty U. S. Air Force for seven and one half years and I will still die for AMERICA.

About a hundred years ago, the NRA was a shooting organization created by Ex-Union Army officers. They wanted to correct the poor shooting skills that were present during the Civil War.
Today, the NRA is by far the best lobbying group which protects the Second Amendment. That's just not my opinion. That's the opinion of experts who track such groups.
The NRA does publish a magazine devoted to hunting. I don't hunt and I have never read it. I did subscribe to First Freedom and my current magazine is The American Rifleman.

I know what the NRA IS.. what my post suggested is what the NRA, gun advocates ISn'T, and Aren't.. You must have missed my point.. The 2nd amendment in not about having guns it is, completely and entirely, about USING guns.. for a specific purpose.. OR why it even IN the Constitution.. for hunting?

Ok, short answer. No. It's not about hunting and the NRA, SAS, JPFO and CCKBA are not hunting groups. Again, join the NRA and preserve your Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

So, You Want To See Me Naked?

This pro-gun ownership piece caused a firestorm when I wrote it 5 years ago, and was, at one time, featured at 67 different website across the globe.

Armed resistance is for when the constitutional REPUBLIC is usurped

I stand corrected. You are right, of course.

Here's the bald truth of what the NRA was & [sadly] still is:


America's largest gun control organization by Vin Suprynowicz
Address:http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/june_2001/americas_largest_gun_control_organization.htm


From the article cited:

" ----- Editor Webber of The American Rifleman wrote back in 1968:
"The NRA supported the National Firearms Act of 1934 which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns. ...
"NRA currently backs several Senate and House bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and Federal Firearms Acts. ... "
Nor is there much room to believe the NRA has changed its stripes ----- "
