It was not until 2008 that they would change the meaning of the R from Rifle to Republican and encourage their membership to vote for candidates who stood against the interests of gun freedom.

The picture of the women with the rifles and their babies at their feet is creepy.

Also, what is up with this "girls and guns" reality show? In what reality do women shoot guns dressed like that?

Is that like a fetish thing, chicks with guns? I think I've seen videos of chicks shooting automatic weapons at a gun show before.

So it was founded in 1871... the twins pic is from 1980... 109 years is a bit less than 12 decades.

It's merely the combination of two fetishes.

That's the same year the KKK was formed!
I don't know if that's true or relevant, but it was in a Michael Moore movie, so it must be both.

When she walked into my office I noticed she was packing a pair of 38s. She also had a gun.

You mean the NRA that endorsed Democrat Harry Reid? That one? The same one that endorsed Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, until she was appointed senator and 're-aligned' her views on guns in order to stay electable in NYS? That NRA?

I remember back when the NRA was all about improving marksmanship for soldiers and cops. Now they're all about giving handguns to kids and wiping out endangered species with armor-piercing rounds.

Even hunters and outdoorsmen hate these guys.

Interestingly the original NRA may have been more to your liking:
The old NRA also promoted gun control. In the 1920s, NRA leaders helped draft the Uniform Firearms Act -- model legislation for states to adopt that established new, restrictive rules on carrying firearms in public. Karl Frederick, the NRA's president, said at the time, "I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons... I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses." The Uniform Firearms Act only awarded licenses to "suitable" persons with a "proper reason" for carrying and created a waiting period before a newly purchased handgun could be delivered to the purchaser. Today's NRA, by contrast, fights to eliminate these very same requirements.

The NRA also endorsed the first major federal gun control law of the modern era, the National Firearms Act of 1934. During hearings on the proposed legislation, which imposed heavy restrictions on machine guns and other gangster weapons, Karl Frederick was asked how the Second Amendment affected this groundbreaking law. His answer was astounding: "I have not given it any study from that point of view."

Protection for guns "lies in an enlightened public sentiment and in intelligent legislative action," Frederick wrote elsewhere. "It is not to be found in the Constitution."

In fact, the Second Amendment is remarkably absent from the NRA's signature publication, American Rifleman, until the 1960s. You can go to the library and peruse decades of issues and not see any mention of the constitutional provision thought to be the heart and soul of the organization.

All that changed in 1977. That year, the leadership of the NRA decided to retreat from political lobbying and refocus on recreational shooting and outdoors activities. This sparked a backlash among a group of hardline gun rights advocates who were upset that the NRA had endorsed the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- the first significant federal gun legislation since the 1930s. Motivated by the belief that guns weren't primarily for hunting but for personal protection in an era of rising crime rates, the hardliners staged a coup at the annual meeting of the membership, ousting the old leaders and committing the organization to political advocacy.

Does Ken Salazar no longer report to the president?

And if the proposed changes have already been drafted, how much more real world does it need to get? Should concerned citizens wait until the changes have been adopted to speak up?
