GVPedia founder Devin Hughes’ visit to the National Rifle Association convention a couple weeks ago in Dallas exposed a scary, vengeful, often absurd NRA, one that seems increasingly violent and desperate in its goals — going from a hunting/sportsman club to a pack of culture warring, militia fever dreamers. As we’ve learned from recent lawsuits and financial disclosures though, NRA leadership might have more pressing monetary concerns.
If the NRA is losing money and membership, with over 400,000,000 guns in our country, someone is picking up the shooting slack. And as the 18th episode of our Armed With Reason podcast from March discussed, it seems the much less know National Shooting Sports Foundation is the organization that has stepped into the NRA’s scare tactic shoes.
