Its history also includes arming Americans so they could fight back against the Ku Klux Klan, and the organization touts that some of its first members were Black Americans looking to defend themselves against Klan members. Nine of its 10 first presidents were also Union veterans who fought to defeat slavery.
I hope the organization can celebrate its next anniversary without Wayne LaPierre as the CEO. How dare he call himself the "Jesus of the Second Amendment"?
Believe it or not, there is one Democratic Congressman who received an A rating from the NRA. Hint: It is not anyone from this state (Hawaii). Not surprising, since Hawaii is ranked A- from giffords.org for its restrictive gun laws.

I choose to donate my $ toward HIFICO. They're actually doing more stuff for HI, which is understandable since there are bigger fish for the NRA to take to court. The NRA rep was on zoom calls last session and showed up in person to testimonies precovid. How many here can say they were on any zoom hearings or showed up in person? They also submit written testimony. So credit where it's due.
