re: #506 Political Atheist

Can we look a little closer at that?
It’s really the ILA part we want to ditch from NRA/ILA. I switched to another advocacy firm long ago. But they are not all bad.
Critics of the NRA have no idea how much they do for gun safety. Education, classes, competition… I would say that stuff has to expand not be done away with. The core lesson for children that run across guns like at a friends house is “Stop. Don’t Touch. Get An Adult.” is their program. Nobody else has the certified instructors in carefully crafted curricula.

Don’t forget the waterfowl habitat preservation efforts, from the pothole region to gulf marshlands, not only through outright purchase but through conservation easements that give the owners large property tax reductions.

Yes the NRA does some good things, but the management has mostly gone to shit over the last two decades.
