This is such a bullshit article. Yeah the NRA is a terrible organization and there are a lot of reasons to attack them. But attacking the educational, gun safety and shooting sports programs that they offer or fund is complete bullshit and is detrimental to the public good.

This is like saying we shouldn’t offer driving classes because one day a student might get into an accident.

Correlation is not causation.
Yes, because what America REALLY needs are school shooters with better aim.
It's 4-H. That is not exactly a radical organization.
So glad to see the NRA are finally training the kids. It’s always been obvious that the main reason for school shootings is that the children have been failing to protect themselves. After all, more adults with guns has greatly reduced the number of adult shootings, because why wouldn’t it? Good guys with the guns always stop bad guys with guns.
As a teacher of children I’m beginning to think maybe it actually would be better if fancy LLMs just took my job.
oh no

which mass shooting? did I miss yet another one in the pile of headlines about mass shootings??
Another mass shooting! How PERFECT! I can finally pretend to care about the Constitution again! I'm a Pro Life Republican!
I’m surprised the NRA aren’t giving away a free gun to every family member over the age of 6 months. /s
That worked fine in Serbia ;(
I'm as anti-NRA as anybody, but 4-H teaching kids to shoot is not a big deal. I taught at a high school in Los Angeles that used to have a shooting range. It also had a marching band. Both are gone. Cutbacks, focus on the required classes, no money for frilly electives.
The only way to stop school shooters is to arm students with guns?

/s
Hahaha so they have better skill in the future when they snap and kill half their school.

Omg republican really do be thinking with their wallets and not their pea sized brains
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good boy with a gun.
