And just remember the NRS sees their supporters as mugs. As Trump does. And that Wayne LaPierre isn't even a gun person himself.

"[...]Just remember that at the NRA convention you CANNOT bring your guns. No one can bring a gun to an NRA event."

NRA Exposé Reports ‘Chaos’ Inside Gun Group Facing ‘Serious Existential Threat,’ with Leader Wayne LaPierre ‘Worried About Going to Jail’
"Good point. On the NRA takeover it was 1977.

In a PBS News Hour interview in 1991, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger referred to the NRA Second Amendment myth as "one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by any special interest group that I have ever seen in my lifetime."
P - The opinions of these distinguished legal scholars had no bearing on NRA propaganda that continued unabated. During the weeks before the 2000 general election, a self-anointed constitution "scholar," Charleton Heston, ceremonial president of the NRA, flooded the airways to urge voters to support candidates who would protect and preserve Second Amendment rights. Little did most Americans realize that such rights did not exist. The NRA's reading of the Second Amendment was purely fictional and unsupported by the law of the land."

“You hear NRA officials denigrate the people who might show up as ‘hillbillies,’ and ‘idiots’ and ‘nuts’ and ‘fruitcakes,'” Mak recalls. “You hear Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the organization, Marion Hammer, former president and longtime lobbyists, advisors, advertising people. And what you hear is this kind of snickering in the background, just kind of knowing snickering. But what’s so shocking about this, of course, is that these are the people who are most dedicated to the NRA’s mission.”

“Another irony, of course, is that Wayne LaPierre doesn’t like to shoot firearms. He’s not he’s not a gun guy, and in fact, is not only bad at shooting firearms, can be downright dangerous with it,” noted Mak, making a point apparent to anyone who viewed leaked footage .. lapierres-botched-elephant-hunt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc" target="_blank">https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-footage-of-nra-chief-wayne-lapierres-botched-elephant-hunt .. of the exec’s elephant hunt in Botswana.
P - In the book’s telling, LaPierre’s aversion to conflict allowed contractors to pull the NRA in self-interested directions with damaging business and public relations implications.
P - “What they’ve all realized over time is that if you bully Wayne LaPierre, you yell at him loudly enough, he’s eventually going to green light millions of dollars and sweetheart deals for people who have inside connections with the NRA—or golden parachutes for people who are who are senior executives, who are leaving the organization and want to get paid for doing virtually nothing at all,” Mak said.

And just remember the NRA used to support gun laws. And just remember gun
laws in trouble towns in the days of the Wild West were stricter than they are today.

Did the Wild West Have More Gun Control Than We Do Today?
[...]
Yet this is all based on a widely shared misunderstanding of the Wild West. Frontier towns -- places like Tombstone, Deadwood, and Dodge -- actually had the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation.

The Secret History of Guns
The Ku Klux Klan, Ronald Reagan, and, for most of its history, the NRA all worked to control guns.

Leave all guns in the sheriff's office.

And just remember the whole effort around gun laws is a fraud.

Fraud is a common thread. Fraud is an area Trump, a fraud himself, has excelled at. The 2nd Amendment interpretation Americans overwhelmingly
accept as truth is a fraud. A fraud exploited and nurtured by the NRA. The leader Wayne Pierre is a fraud. Fraud is rampant within the NRA.
