    Reminder that the NRA is a gun manufacturer trade organization. They don’t represent or even necessarily fight on behalf of gun owners. The reason that many gun owners are NRA members is because the NRA provides low-cost insurance for gun ranges, with the requirement that users must be in the NRA.

    On that note, if you do shoot: Seek out the minority of non-NRA ranges to do it at, find appropriate public land, or approved private property. Don’t patronize NRA-insured ranges.

      That’s so interesting. I’m not an avid shooter but I’ve been to a handful of ranges and it’s never even been asked of me.
