Opinion | Greg Hunter: I didn't leave the NRA. The NRA left me. - NBCNewsTHINK
Don’t take my word for it; look at the NRA’s website. As I wrote this, the top of their home page had a rotating banner of important “news” in the supposed war against firearms ownership — three of which are solely about President Donald Trump and the importance of supporting him.
Click on any of the links, watch any of the shows or peruse any of their publications and the message is the same: The NRA’s main mission is to fight any possible restriction on guns, the solution to every instance of gun violence is to arm more people, anyone who says anything else is part of a global conspiracy to disarm everyone, nothing else matters very much and, oh, by the way, they need your money.
The NRA, once “the premier firearms education organization in the world” is not performing its traditional educational role of elevating the discussion and advancing the interests of all gun owners. Despiteon everything from how guns should be sold, owned, stored and carried to how and when convicted felons should have their rights restored, the NRA has but one answer to every debate on gun ownership — more of it, with no restrictions.
