Before the NRA was terrorist

When the NRA was founded by two Union Civil War veterans and a former New York Times reporter in 1871, its purpose was to help improve the marksmanship of urban northerners whose inferiority to the superior marksmanship of their rural southern counterparts was believed to have prolonged the war. During this time, the Second Amendment was not the association’s central platform. Displayed at the NRA’s national headquarters was its motto, “Firearms Safety Education, Marksmanship Training, Shooting for Recreation.” The association was granted a charter and received $25,000 from New York State to purchase a firing range. It also maintained a longstanding relationship with the U.S. military, receiving surplus guns and sponsorships for shooting contest.

The NRA was formed to regulate the militia, and that means regulate the guns and the militia people using guns. The whole point of the second, and today the second still serves the same capacity, regulate the NRA gun nuts, and vote out every stupid welfare bum Repub Texan.  Repubs killed those folks in the church.  If the Repubs don't like it then they can go eat opioids, we are not waiting for them to get a brain.
