Okay, I'll stand corrected but I believe they have fought for the rights of all people to own firearms. It's historically common for the ruling class to not want peasants to be armed.No Sir that is not why the NRA was founded , it was found by two military officers to promote rifle marksman ship skills among the public.

The NRA didn't become interested in gun rights advocacy at all till the 1968 GCA , true story . The 2A advocacy is very much a most recent development in the organization which really took off in the late 1970's after the NRA membership revolt which occurred at the national convention. Just saying ....
The primary purpose of the NRA for MOST of its history even still today a big part of the NRA is centered around training , competition and safety . Another fun fact its the ILA ( the lobby arm of the NRA which is involved in the advocacy and lobbying)

You can read about how the NRA has been fighting the second amendment since about 1934 https://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/gunstuff/legal/KABA-1934_NFA_hearings.pdf
Here is an excerpt from there
NRA President Frederick's testimony began by explaining that he had "been giving this subject of firearms regulations study and consideration over a period of 15 years" and that "the suggestions resulting from that study of mine...have resulted in the adoption in many States of regulatory provisions suggested by us." He later described his active role in helping pass D.C.'s then-recent, ultra-stringent gun controls. Having helped enact gun control legislation was a matter of pride for NRA's president -- as you shall see below. The D.C. gun controls of which he candidly boasted included the following provisions, among others:
• prohibited carrying a concealed pistol without a license -- with an exemption, of course, for law enforcement officers
• justification for getting licensed to carry a firearm if "applicant has good reason to fear injury to

his person or property" -- and the license application process included a mugshot, treating lawful
gun owners like common criminals
• a two-day waiting period to purchase a handgun -- with an exemption, of course, for law enforcement officers -- even though violent stalkers don't tend to wait to attack
• required thorough record-keeping by gun dealers, of all transactions and every buyer
• required that the seller deliver all of a buyer's personal information to the police within hours of the transaction, including the make, model and serial number of the firearm
• mandated that gun dealers be licensed at the discretion of the police
• banned altering firearms' serial numbers or other identifying marks
This is not the actions of an organization worth keeping around, unless your one of waynes pals profiting off of it.
We (members of the NRA) need to have another revolt........The NRA didn't become interested in gun rights advocacy at all till the 1968 GCA , true story .
