More upsettingly, the ACLU is going to start spending it's endowment *attacking* Free Speech in the future.
I'm pretty pissed with the ACLU.
Yeah that’s fucked... idk how more people aren’t angry about it... Does all this BS around the NRA have any credibility?
Some. Not all.
The Russia thing is probably forgivable or them in the clear.
I’ve heard they’re more or less a union for shooters and they protect the second
Russia thing?
The NRA is a massive complex organization with lots of parts.
Some Russian spy infiltrated the organization and rose to the top (money buys influence with these organizations). Her goal was to get in contact with US lawmakers via the NRA and she succeeded.
The Press is going ballistic. It's the NRA, Russia AND the Republicans all in one.
was that that good looking ranga chick?
Like, 3 birds, one shotgun.
You probably know her. She's all over the press right now.
the entire russia saga is the most retarded thing I've ever seen and the blatant attacks on the republicans is moronic.
I specifically avoid right wing news outlets and read a lot of CBS, other trash like that
As for the NRA itself, it's becoming known for it's legal department which fights to protect gun ownership and undo laws that would inhibit the right to own whatever guns people would want.
and they're moronic
yeah that's what I've heard the NRA is becoming which tbh isn't a bad thing
I'd recommend reading a right wing site or two. Balances things out a bit.
they just need to pick their battles.
It's actually a small part of the NRA.
and I think I know the chick you're talking about
Firearms safety classes.
gun training and shit?
Yeah.
And supporting firing ranges.
And shooting sports.
Yeah we don't have that in Australia... the government actively tries to restrict how much we, as shooters can do
They give grants to school shooting teams.
for me to go shooting, I need to travel 90 minutes to a 500m range and that's all I've got
Gun training in school is basically dead outside the countryside.
Our public land for hunting is slowly being made into national parks
it's all kinds of fucked up
and what do you mean?
There are high schools in NYC that had functional shooting ranges.
They now sit abandoned and attempts to restart them are met with fierce resistance.
That'd be fantastic
Sport shooting is actually on the rise in places like Minnesota. But NYS just banned shooting sports (including archery) in the whole state. Syracuse had a nationally recognized trap team and was ****'d
fucking hell...
But NYC rules NYS politics. So Syracuse shooting has to go...
