re: #346 FemNaziBitch

Please, look at the stuff that comes in the mail from the NRA, compare to the stuff from 10, 20 years ago and tell me it’s no different.

Lots of rhetoric and marketing ploys —statistics and percentages and reports about upcoming legislation. Notice the lack of references or even Bill numbers to aid you in fact-checking.

They are a sales organization. The only good part left of the NRA is the education and training arm.

But that just dovetails into what I was saying: They foster concerns about legislation, not the kind of backdoor tactics the conspiracists allege.

Of course, it is also the case the NRA does not not want to endanger its or its corporate affiliates relationships with federal law enforcement (other than the ATF, federal law enforcement is often positively portrayed by the NRA) and the military. Individual law enforcement officers and soldiers are actually big buyers of firearms and especially their accessories, and the firearms industry values that stream of business.
