@vikorr,
Quote:That uh, did not make logical sense. Some parts were irrelevant to farmermans point, and the other parts actually seemed to support it, while obviously meaning to be against what he said.
It was very relevant, the NRA is primarily concerned with gun safety and training. Seems cogent to me, he proclaimed they were not about gun safety and training. If he had been to a gun range in the last decade, he would know about the classes offered and other such things as ladies night.
Quote:Have you been to a gun range lately? You would be surprised to know that the NRA hasn't changed, you have changed. They still offer certified instructors for all levels of training and even offer things like Ladies Nights for women only to learn to shoot or just practice without fear of being hit on at the range.
Quote:Hmm. Even here in Australia, we hear of the lobbying by the NRA. And a quick search shows they established their lobbying arm in 1975, and spent a record amount on lobbying in 2017.
I'm not saying they do not have a lobbying arm, I'm saying they don't lobby for the things Farmerman claims. They are for the 2nd Amendment and for Citizens not to be infringed in their Rights to bear arms.
The NSSF is the gun manufacturing lobby, the manufactures of guns who lobby the govt on gun makers behalf when they propose new regulations on weapons.
The NRA is a gun rights group, who lobby the govt on behalf of their members, gun owners, when the govt tries to regulate their ownership of guns.
2 different groups which represent 2 different aspects of the 2nd Amendment.

I'm not surprised. The MSM and the anti-gun groups here in the US have been working very hard to blur the lines between the 2 groups. It's all part of the anti-gun propaganda to obfuscate the facts about guns and gun rights.
