When I was growing up a long time ago the NRA was an owners' group, that funded safety and actually advocated against extremism.

Like a lot of our political institutions, it's been taken over by billionaires and corporations whose only goal is to increase the bottom line, regardless of what actual people might be hurt.

So don't you think it's worth putting this out, to be honest and direct, so everyone knows?

advancing guns and other right wing crud. You don’t put Grover Norquist, John Bolton, Oliver North, Ted Nugent, David Keene, Larry Craig, and worse, in leadership positions, unless you’re a white wing organization.

Members know it, as do millions of ignorant white wing racist gun-fanciers who support the NRA but are too cheap to pay dues.

But, I’m fine publicizing the facts for everyone to see.
