According to their site "Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis," according to a magazine editorial written by Church.
Where does it say they were formed to teach the African Americans to shoot?
It's a Constitutional Right not a Civil Right. Those are two different things.
Now answer my question. Where is the NRA listed as a Civil Rights Organization? There's nothing on their site that says they are a Civil Rights Organization that I can find.
Yours is an astounding statement. Do you believe your rights flow from government? Do you have a right to life? Does it come from government?
