Renewed mine and my wife’s, took an online class, bought a couple of hats and a new range bag, and sent a little donation as well. Support the NRA!

The NRA has been pretty good lately, but…

* In the 1920s, the National Revolver Association, the arm of the NRA
responsible for handgun training, proposed regulations later adopted by
nine states, requiring a permit to carry a concealed weapon, five years
additional prison time if the gun was used in a crime, a ban on gun
sales to non-citizens, a one day waiting period between the purchase and
receipt of a gun, and that records of gun sales be made available to
police.

* The 1930s crime spree of the Prohibition era prompted President Franklin
Roosevelt to make gun control a feature of the New Deal. The NRA
assisted Roosevelt in drafting the 1934 National Firearms Act and the
1938 Gun Control Act, the first federal gun control laws. Not only was the legislation unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court in
1939, but Karl T. Frederick, the president of the NRA, testified before
Congress stating, “I have never believed in the general practice of
carrying weapons. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of
guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.”

* On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee
Harvey Oswald. He shot the president with an Italian military surplus
rifle purchased from a NRA mail-order advertisement. NRA Executive
Vice-President Franklin Orth agreed at a congressional hearing that
mail-order sales should be banned stating, “We do think that any sane
American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this
bill the instrument which killed the president of the United States.”

* The NRA also supported California’s Mulford Act of 1967, which had
banned carrying loaded weapons in public in response to the Black
Panther Party’s impromptu march on the State Capitol to protest gun
control legislation on May 2, 1967.

* For much of the 20th century, the NRA had lobbied and co-authored
legislation that was similar to the modern legislative measures the
association now characterizes as unconstitutional. But by the 1970s the
NRA came to view attempts to enact gun-control laws as threats to the
Second Amendment.
