NSSF or SAAMI could create the standards and curriculum and certify the organizations for the training. Granted, the NRA is the big one, partly because of its age. It would be great if one of the unintended consequences of such a scheme would be for, say, Pink Pistols and the Liberal Gun Club give the NRA serious competition.

The numbers before and after the ban on registration of new ones. clffrdjk Apr 2014 #20

how many full autos are there? gejohnston Apr 2014 #46
