I'm the hunting poster who posted earlier.

I just wanted to add that a lot of people in rural areas see the NRA permeate their lives in a beneficial, community-minded way. It's like the church-goer who tithes and doesn't realize they're supporting sex abuse, and the cover-up of same. The NRA sponsors tons of fun stuff, kids' activities, fairs, barn events... and so people see it as a benign force in their lives. Then when the NRA spokesman, a pillar of local society, offers everyone a round of beers and complains that liberals in Washington want to take away their guns (that they use for shooting vermin), which side are they going to be on???

It's like living in Palestine and being asked to reject Hamas, a terrorist organization which also funds local hospitals and schools, or living in Columbia and being asked to reject the local all-powerful gang, which props up the entire community with its money and manages things better than the local government.

Did I just compare the NRA to a terrorist org and a drug gang? Yes I did.

And it's HARD to extirpate such entities from the local communities they have embedded themselves into, under pretense of doing good.
