re: #89 Dark_Falcon

No, the NRA runs the Eddie Eagle program to help prevent gun accidents among children and also runs shooting classes and competitions.

The NRA performs useful tasks other than political advocacy. Grover Norquist, by contrast, does nothing but hold Congress hostage.

There comes a point where one’s good/worthy deeds become so overshadowed by the bad/unworthy deeds, people begin to wonder if they’re beyond hope or redemption.

LaPierre (and, some say, Heston) took the NRA past that point long ago by playing to gun owners’ fears and prejudices…over and over and over again.
