I didn't intend to make light of the activism...I'm saying I'm glad we (the NRA) are a multi-faceted organization.
You may note that I chair a Friends of NRA committee...I've helped hand out over a million dollars over the last ten years to help improve ranges, provide training for boy scouts, 4-H, FFA, JROTC, and school kids statewide, provide scholarships to the NRA YES program and the Whittington Center's YHEC, and to support SCI's hunter training camps.
And in nearly all of those situations, the importance of the right to keep and bear arms is brought to the attention of the participants.
I'm not reading that into your comment at all---just saying that this specific group is one that needs a STRONG FOCUS on the idea that the 2A is an individual right, and that any order to seize firearms from the citizenry would constitute an "unlawful order", which should be resisted rather than obeyed.
"And in nearly all of those situations, the importance of the right to keep and bear arms is brought to the attention of the participants."
Yes, but how is that done with this (or these) specific groups??
