Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: To date, has there ever been a review of the NRA's instructional program to teach new shooters? [View all]DonP
(6,185 posts)They don't care about child safety, unless it's done their way and results in banning firearms.
I have all the current Eddie Eagle materials and have run several of them for Scouts, YMCA and other youth groups.
The funny thing is they have never seen any of the material, obviously.
But somehow they just "know" it's promoting guns to kids. The same people make fun of "Abstinence" based sex ed and "Just Say No" for drug education, then apply exactly the same thinking to gun safety.
In their twisted world things messages like:
- Stop
- Don't Touch
- Leave the area
- Tell an adult
... must all be "pro gun" messages, since they don't demonize guns and gun owners.
I called them on it in several threads and get the usual "Gun Humper" "Gun Nutz" comments.
They have no interest in the truth or in teaching anyone gun safety. The only thing they want is no more guns or gun owners and they keep pushing away the people they need to help them get the laws changed.
The results are obvious in their utter lack of success. No new legislation for over a decade, loss of multiple local and state offices, losses in courts at every level. Their approach really isn't working and they seem too dense to consider any other way.
It seems they are just looking for any way they can to be rude and ignorant on the subject.
