he’s right in a backwards way.

Jim Crow laws prevented black from owning guns and protecting themselves from the KKK. That was how the NRA started.

I’ll lend him my copy of this book so moron and father fathead can learn something.

Right on the first part, wrong on the second. The NRA was founded by veterans of the Civil War who were shocked at the number of recruits who couln't shoot. The goal was to promote shooting and marksmanship, it had nothing to do with gun control.
