For what it's worth there are thousands of gun owners out there who dislike the NRA and Wayne LaPierre and have stopped giving them their money or support. Many have moved on to support other gun owner's groups and some of those groups are extremely extreme.

Wayne LaPierre's sounds increasingly like David Miscavige. The NRA is a fucking cult, not just a gun lobby organization.

I remember that after the Philando Castile case, one of those competing groups made a point of defending Castile's gun rights...while the NRA remained conspicuously silent.
vox.com - "The NRA hardly cares about black gun owners like me. Philando Castile proves that."

Gun control will be implemented in this country when Colin Kaepernick is photographed holding an AR-15.

Isn't the NRA now more a lobbying organization for manufacturers? It looks like all they do is just geared towards higher sales volumes. When Trump revoked the bill preventing mentally ill people from buying guns last year, the NRA called that "a new era for responsible gun owners". Right...

Oh, and yes, they do look as if they don't want to sell to everybody. Needs to be the right skin colour...

Olaf Fichtner pretty much which is why a lot of people, even gun owners, are disgusted with them. As the feeling goes, the NRA is a corporate shill looking out for corporate interests, not gun owners.

It's a lobbying organization for gun manufacturers, but the whole 2nd Amendment-as-holy-text thing makes it extra weird. Watching that creepy CPAC performance, I kept expecting half-crazed, coked-up-looking Dana Loesch to hand off the mic to a wild-eyed Tom Cruise who -- after some remarks about saving the world -- would announce His Grace/Grand Poobah Wayne LaPierre.

I've hunted blacktail with .243 and .308 hunting riffles, have shot various shotguns, and have fired a pistol on a couple occasions (I can't hit shit with a pistol) -- would feel like some sort of poser toting around an AR-15, because I'm not a SWAT officer, a soldier, or a drug cartel thug.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
