I stand corrected. I assumed in another thread the NRA would remain silent.
This doesn't justify their existence, however. They are still ultimately simply a propaganda political scheme for weapons manufacturers
Turn it around.
These people happily demanded gun laws when it was the Black Panthers exercising their rights.
This is close to having a bishop fly a pride flag.
When a white teenager travelles across state lines to branish a gun they do not own, for the purpose of killing peaceful BLM protestors, the NRA and GOP raises hell to make the kid a mainstream fascist icon.
When minorities and leftists are massacred for exercising their constitutional 2nd Amendment rights, its a simple Facebook post from the NRA, and the GOP suddenly abandons the 2nd Amendment.
Again, Nazi playbook. They disarmed.the Jews while making guns easier to acquire for their party members.

The NRA was happy to help disarm the Black Panthers back in the day.
This seems like a pretty big deal. It might be just one guy running his mouth, but it could mean something more.
They only have a problem with the 'walking around armed might provoke law enforcement to shoot you, so don't do it' narrative.
They don't like telling people not to carry guns. That's all.

The NRA helped pass the 'Black Panther Law'
I'm not a fan of the NRA and I won't say this is more than what it is.
On the other hand, if the NRA is breaking with Trump, that could mean big trouble in the midterms.
They are a money laundering operation to funnel Russian cash to the RNC.
