Just a question on this statement. Is it the NRA who alienates you or is it some of the members? The NRA stands for guns and gun rights. It's membership is as diverse as our country. What you describe sounds like behavior of some of the membership, not as the NRA as an organization. There is a difference. It's like saying that the white supremist faction supports the NRA or Trump so everyone who supports the NRA or Trump is a white supremeist. As we know, that is not true but to many who think left, it is true.
An organization is its members. “I’m the NRA” or so is their slogan.
Many members I’ve met locally are unwelcoming to those with differing political opinions. They seem to think they’re better off without my time or money because I love guns, but don’t fall in line with the rest of their religious or political views.
Just my viewpoint.
I would however be interested in the NRA’s diversity statistics you mentioned. I’d like to be wrong that it’s predominately WASPy and old.
