I bet those history teachers know when Stalin and Mao were born, but I bet they don't know that little historical tidbit.

Some NRA people perhaps did help (Spence level remote association
) but not because they were NRA but because the Republicans, some affiliated with the nascent and generally unrelated NRA of the day, were trying to reduce the pressure on black's in the south after the Civil War. Shortly after the Civil War, blacks were able to vote and some went to Congress as representatives for their areas. The 1870s and post CW reconstruction were a severe period of upheaval.

How has the NRA gone off the deep end and gotten extreme? Do you feel that the ALCU should be disbanded due to their fervent support of first amendment rights?
Did the NRA cause these school shootings? Did NRA Members do the mass shooting?
