Of course not all, so what? There is a fringe that blood lobby panders to and they are the same types of assholes who hold a nature reserve hostage.
And someone did act on their beliefs, guy went into a pizza joint WITH A FIREARM and shot it up because the right wing media whom the NRA loves, sold a bullshit story about Hillary running a child molesting ring.
The NRA is the one lobby that protects our flooded market and have been responsible for DECADES for obstructing those who want to reduce firearm deaths.
Even when the NRA's butt buddy party GOP gets shot up by a democrat, even then, those assholes don't want anything done. It is nothing but about an industry and profits. It has nothing to do with firearm safety.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that I'm in any wise supporting the NRA - you should know better. My point, which you seem to have missed, is that the ignorant screed in the link isn't something that is likely to incite the majority of gun owners to start hunting journalists. And anyone who IS incited by the video is a whackaloon who was going to kill someone anyway.
What part of that qualifies as 'bullshit'?

I wasn't accusing you of supporting them, I am saying they are throwing read meat at their far right supporters and every add, regardless of if you think it looks harmless is not harmless. You cannot take one sample and extrapolate as being their entire agenda long term. Selection bias and sample rate error is why their far right is unreasonable and also why you see this one add as harmless.
The bottom line is that they market long term and every line of every add, and every image of every add is by design just like any other product consumers buy. If it didn't work they would not do it.
There is nothing of any redeeming value about that organization. If they truly cared about people dying we would not see the decades after decades of firearm deaths we do. They are nothing but a heat shield for the gun factories.
