Gun control group goes after NRA's tax-exempt status...
[bearingarms.com]

For gun control activists, the National Rifle Association is the biggest boogieman out there. They’re convinced that it is the only real barrier to them being able to run roughshod over the American people and enact their radical and draconian gun control agenda. Hatred for the NRA fills their rhetoric and makes a convenient whipping boy for their historic failures to enact gun control.

The NRA wields very little power. It's all the voters that support the NRA that have the power. The NRA is just the sign on the property that says "Warning, snakes - don't tread on them."

I just wish the NRA was consistent. Barely a peep out of them when that one guy who had a conceal carry permit was shot.
Let's just arm every minority as much as possible. If you aren't a straight white person, free gun. Plus lessons in how to use it, clean/maintain it, tactical application, combined arms tactics, just any possible lesson or tidbit of knowledge tossed in.

What a tragic case. I completely agreed with this statement by the lawyer:

Larry R. Rogers Jr., an attorney for Reynolds, said that based on the dash-cam video, “it is clear that Officer Jeronimo Yanez was not in control, was nervous and acted in a reckless, willful and wanton fashion.”

It's terrible. We're never going to eliminate tragedy in the world. Was there a race element? Maybe. The officer is Hispanic, and not white. Wrongful shoots happen--absolutely. Not easy being a cop. There's a difference between people who talk about stuff and people who do stuff. Cops have to do stuff, and it's rough that we come in after the fact with our inadequate judgments--necessary evil. There are definitely a few racist cops, but I don't see this one necessarily being that. It more seemed like a young guy amped up, scared, unsure. I wish the officer would have said, 'stop moving'. Maybe, in the moment, that would have hit differently than, 'don't reach' or whatever it was he said.

Anyway, I don't get you about the NRA. I'm not sure what you want them to say. It's not the responsibility of the NRA to comment every time a gun is fired. Whose idea is that? Should we call Ford for comment every time someone gets in one drunk?

Gun control enthusiasts hate the NRA and all of its members. In their minds anyone who owns a gun is an NRA member, if that gun is used in the commission of a crime then all NRA members are responsible for the crime.
