1. I disagree,

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

[stone space]

2. LOL!

[Duckhunter935]

4. I agree

It worked out well

19. It does seem the National Restaurant Association is an impedimemt to a living wage.

3. I disagree with many of the NRA legislative

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?

6. This OP isn't about proving anybody wrong.

You can always prove me wrong by answering this simple question.

You might be taking it too personally.

7. Just admit it

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

10. I really thought he was for gun safety

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

[Duckhunter935]

9. So are the NRA firearms safety programs deplorable?

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

[DonP]

16. I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand the difference between the NRA and the NRA-ILA

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

8. the only thing worse is banners.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

11. What is it about safety training that you find deplorable?

[Duckhunter935]

13. Good question

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.

12. The NRA was founded to support gun safety education. They have strayed very far from that path.

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

[DonP]

17. Actually, it was founded to promote civilian marksmanship and safety

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.

[Nitram]

20. Yes, you're right. Marksmanship was also a mission.

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.

15. What is your beef

With the National Restaurant Association?

[The Polack MSgt]

18. The NRA has lost it's way IMHO. It is no longer a shooter's safety organization -

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.

21. The National Recovery Act was a great attempt to end a depression.

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

[ileus]

22. NRA = Negotiate Rights Away....deplorable indeed.
