18. Do tell.

"The NRA has helped promote that culture of irresponsibility."

Really? Maybe you'd like to comment on this:

"Try this as an example. Write them and request gun safety information and then track the marketing you begin receiving. How many safety messages do you get compared to every other PR message fetishizing guns in one way or another."

Yeah, once you're on a marketing list, you'll get marketed to. Does that somehow dilute or invalidate the safety information you receive?

Have you ever taken an NRA safety class? The people in this incident violated literally every single one of the rules that those classes teach. Yet somehow you feel that this is the NRA's fault.
