here is 1 black member of the nra saying this-
" By my own personal accounting, I met twelve (12) black persons in attendance at the conference in St. Louis. I may have missed a few but not many.

Previously, I had attended the 2010 meeting in Charlotte. Sadly, I must report that both aforementioned events lacked significant participation by black people.


Now that’s what I call understatement. Twelve African Americans at a convention with over 73,700 attendees"

here is another FACT

The National Rifle Association is politically and socially powerful, there is no disputing that. They have their tentacles deeply buried in our legislative discourse and have successfully maintained their stronghold despite many gun massacres and other gun violence over the years.

if you can't understand that, go away
