I ask because if you ever had you'd know every event, every range, every class has NRA pamphlets, and sign up forms. Every one.
You would speak better from experience, of course I know you would never have a firearm, as you could not honestly fill out a 4473.

I refrain from smileys in ernest discussion of life and death, and your attempts at gotcha and sophistry merely show you have no concerns, except to score points in an argument, one which you are ignorant of a culture you claim to hate.
