The NRA seeks to create 'Wedge Issues' to define it's purpose.

Could there be another mission for the NRA? Sure, but, they wouldn't have the wealth they have now. The NRA's 'take' after each one of these tragedies where they pander to members has to be considerable.

A different NRA? Let's create an new NRA and call it The Association of Rifles Nationally. The ARN.

The mission of the ARN is to provide education to gun owners, competition for sports enthusiasts that like accuracy challenges, to support responsible gun ownership whereby government policy is minimized to what is necessary to insure safety in society, to promote hunting with discounts to members for these activities through affiliations with other product manufacturers and services.

The ARN would never receive the kind of monies the NRA does now. The ARN would be a moral organization that would seek to support families when tragedies happen, work to suppress extremism, minimize gun violence in the media to what is necessary and not shocking or promotes obsession with power. The ARN would never seek promotion of memberships when these gun tragedies strike, but, instead apologize for the failure of their primary mission to prevent extremism. 

The mission of the ARN would be embedded in values very different than what is promoted today. No high caliper ammunition, no military content in gun ownership, safe storage of weapons in the home while still being available for break ins or criminal activities. Safe storage away from the home of weapons and ammunition for owners of many guns and their ammunition to fire them.

Basically, wimpy and practical attitudes rather than tough guy attitudes promoted by fear and faux bravery to any government on Earth. Mostly sports minded activities and FUN.

So, there you have it. The fear agenda of the National Rifle Association, the NRA, has a purpose and it is wealth beyond what is reasonable for any sincere organization interested in the well being of their members. The mission and political activities of the NRA are also illegal. The NRA website states www.nra.org. DOT ORG? Really? I though political action committees were 501(c)4 not 501(c)3. 

You know, Mr. Rove has the same problem with his non-profit status.
