[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 403715, member: 735"] The NRA is a pretty diverse group from what I’ve seen. But more whites own firearms than other demographics so there will logically be more white members in the NRA as well. I don’t have any exact stats just my own interactions and first hand knowledge. The trouble comes in so called “common sense” regulations. AR15s are common sense firearms according the the vast majority of people who favor protecting the 2nd amendment...exact opposite of those who wish to limit 2A. I really don’t care if gun grabbers think the NRA appears “brutish or unsympathetic” to those who wish to abolish my civil rights. The Castile shooting was abhorrent. The NRA did not “immediately” condemn the officer involved. The NRA has a track record of not castigating law enforcement in “bad shoots.” True before the Castile incident and true after it. And race doesn’t play a part in that imo. The NRA has also been “silent” when other demographics are involved in similar incidents. The NRA is in fact a “grass roots” organization. And after the Castile incident it’s own members criticized their own organization on its Facebook page in the immediate days following the incident. ON July 8 2016 the NRA podcast hist Cam Edwards stared “What we know does not look good. Our right to keep and bear arms is not based on the color of our skin.” [URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3680211/It-doesn-t-look-good-NRA-podcast-host-breaks-silence-police-shooting-reported-legal-gun-owner-Philando-Castile-accused-racial-bias.html[/URL] Let me reiterate that the NRA does not condemn law enforcement generally. Anti NRA forces utilized the Castile shooting to call on the NRA to condemn the police immediatel. When a statement wasn’t made immediately, anti NRA media attempted to portray this “silence” as evidence of racism in the organization. For the record Castile was slain (unjustly imo) July 6th. The NRA “statement” in their podcast was made July 7. So it’s fair to criticize the MRA for being too pro-police. But imo it’s a bit unfair to claim it is racist. [/QUOTE]
