We need the NRA more than ever ;)

As most of us here know the NRA was started to promote marksmanship. The ex-Union Generals were not pleased with the level of marksmanship in the soldiers so they started the NRA to fix the problem and train civilians how to shoot and generally promote shooting and marksmanship.


This brings us to 2014 in one weekend:

9 shot in New Orleans LA- None killed

23 shot in NYC only 4 killed

36 shot in Chicago and only 1 killed.

So in 3 major towns in this country, 2 with staunch gun control laws, 68 people were shot and only 5 killed.

We have a marksmanship problem in this country.

Those strict gun laws are really working
