The NRA likes to brag about training African-Americans in the old South during the civil rights struggle in regions where the sheriff's department was packed with KKK members.

But that was then, and this is now. Not entirely certain how the NRA came to be so rightwing, but they did. So, no, you are not going to see the NRA helping "those people".
