the National Recovery Act was necessary to right the problems with the economy at the time...

It worked out well

Actions. I do not know how anybody could disagree with around a hundred years of firearms safety programs they have developed and established as a standard. I fail to see how some like you are so against firearms safety. You can always prove me wrong by answering this simple question.

Do you support the firearms safety programs developed and given by the NRA?

You've been to a concert and like Ted Nugent. It's not a crime.

Sad he does not seem to be and is against it instead.

You seem to say they are. And I thought you were for gun safety

Besides, who needs gun safety training if you don't allow anyone to have guns, right?

I await his answer as I have asked him the same thing. I do not think his thread is going like he was expecting and he ran away again.

I've taken some of their gun safety courses, and they are good. Their political agenda is vile.

After the Civil War, the War Department was concerned at how poor the Union Army marksmanship was, compared to the average Confederate soldier. (Mostly an issue of agrarian versus urban troop sources)

But several Union Civil War Generals founded it to develop a higher level of shooting skills and generally promote the shooting sports.

Ultimately, it developed the international shooting competitions that are now part of the Olympic games at ranges like Creedmoor.

But safety was always emphasized above all. Until the NRA became a lobbying organization in support of gun manufacturers. I'm a member because I can't join a shooting range without a membership. I get the most god-awful propaganda about Obama on a weekly basis, along with requests for money. Beyond the membership fee and safety courses, I don't give them a dime for anything.

With the National Restaurant Association?

I believe it's a combination Conservative PAC and firearm industry spokesman

But it isn't the only game in town.

There are several politically left of center shooting clubs that host events and hold safety and proficiency training. Hell, want a Garand? The Liberal Gun Club is a CMP organization. They can help ya...

I realize that many people believe that supporting strict gun control measures is a pillar of liberalism, but that is not true. Pro Second Amendment Democrats are more common than you think.

A modern version would do much to throttle the 99% and their price-gouging ways.
