I'm not sure. I'm not blaming the NRA for promoting violence or killing anyone.My question is more to the point. The NRA does not promote violence. The NRA has not killed anyone...EVER. So, why do people blame the NRA every time someone is killed? No one blames SAE when there is an auto related death.
Wayne LaPierre is a lobbyist. So it's the "About Us" (specifically the circled part) page that's wrong.......Perhaps the NRA itself is not *technically* a lobbying group, but as a club of members they do have the ILA (which was formed by the NRA) to lobby for protecting the interests of their club members.
It boils down to what the definition of "is" is.
Hey now! We've justified the murders of thousands of people per year by multi ton steel weapons of destruction (aka automobiles) because driving to the mall or having delivery trucks bring boxes of worthless trinkets directly to our home is more important than lives or the toxic pollution of our environment, so BACK OFF of Big Oil!!How's the NRA any different than a union group that lobbys? Insurance groups? Big oil?
