"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.' Since then, the NRA has been the premier firearms education organization in the world. From training the next generation of gun owners to leading legislative and political efforts to defend the Second Amendment, the NRA is at the forefront of preserving your freedom."
It would be interesting to see a poll on what people actually think on a breakdown of what the NRA actually is and accomplishes in its present incarnation. Most people who try and stand behind it can only offer the lobbyist aspect.
I am not saying that has no value as it does. But I wonder what those two gentleman would think of it now?
