I don’t understand. What diversity is exemplified by nra tv or an uncle Wayne begging letter referencing the terribleness of those who disagree with nra propaganda on any topic ? I recently rejoined the nra because it is a requirement if one wishes to be a member of a specific local gun club, and I do. So that’s my choice, and.no one forced me to make it. But I’ve already blocked the crazy pants stuff from nratv and I hate that I’ve underwritten a group which has an expensive pr firm inculcating hate for “the left” and progressives, off the deep end crap about “their law” and “their schools” etc. they were bad 20 years ago, but they’re exponentially worse now.
I’m willing to deal with it because I want to be a better competitive shooter and that requires me to practice other than at a square range, but for every one pro 2a progressive competitive shooter like me they gain, they permanently alienate many, many more progressive gun owners (who might not be into competition but are still pro 2a) and fence sitters. And guess what ? 2a defense requires everybody.
