T-Dub Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The NRA was bought out by the manufacturers to serve as their lobbying organization. Before Charlton Heston's Alzheimer's rants it was more of sportsman's organization and while certainly active politically they were much more neutral in general, to my recollection. If you took a hunting safety course it was probably run by the NRA (they're required for a minor to get a hunting license in most states AFAIK - one of those things "common sense" gun reform advocates like to demand since so few of them know anything about existing gun laws). All that aside, if you go to the NRA site now they have a "Freedom's Safe Space" slogan - you never would've seen such troll behavior from them 20 years ago. All that Tactical Asshole "operator" bullshit is a more recent development & if I'm guessing, has more to do with the country fetishizing the SF types at the front lines of the vague & unwinnable counterinsurgency warfare we've been asked to support for the last 17 years.
