You sir, are an ignorant ass. I don't know where you get your information about the NRA but it isn't from the American Rifleman magazine, America's First Freedom magazine, the NRA website or the ILA-NRA website.

Actually, my information does come directly from the NRA website, complete with the huge percentage of articles from their magazines that are "sport" focused. In addition, though I am not and never have been a member of the NRA, they apparently get my name and address from other organizations, and shower me with expensive glossy literature touting how much fun I'd have if I'd sign up for this or that "sport" program.

Particularly alarming is that a lot of stuff I've gotten from them is specifically aimed at women (I'm not a "sir", and Second Amendment Sisters is presumably one of the organizations from which they've gotten my name). Women in this country disproportionately don't grasp the real significance of RKBA, and it doesn't help when the NRA is spendign money to reinforce the idea among women that the main reason for non-criminals to own guns and shoot is for "sport".

If the NRA is starting to shift its focus, that's great, but it must be pretty recent (it was only a few months ago that I took a long hard look at the stuff on their website, when another FR poster tried to tell me they weren't focused on "sport"), and in response to a lot of public harping from people like me about their misguided "sport" focus.
