The story of the NRA forming to teach blacks to shoot doesn't have any legs. It's been passed around but no one can find any evidence in any of their founding documents.

The NRA helped write that legislation. It's in the article. Did you read the WHOLE thing?
It's not to our benefit. Access to firearms is correlated increased likelihood of suicide, homicide, and accidental death. Yeah. Sounds peachy.
I appreciate that firearms restrictions were once focused (and continue to be if you include the drug war/felon restrictions) on blacks but society has changed; firearms just aren't as vital as they used to be. We know of the large downsides to them, there aren't too many upsides.
And just generally, not all gun owners are racist but all racists are gun owners. This isn't uncommon. All over the US you can find racist paraphernalia sold at gun shows. Hell, check out some of the folks associated with the NRA board. Not exactly the most tolerant folks.
But good try on the dropping of the knowledge or whatever it was that you were trying to do.
I knew it was some bullshyt he was posting. Thanks for clearing that up.
