    You mean the ATF? The atf is the government department dedicated to guns. The NRA is a pro-guns lobby group.

      No, I mean the NRA. Why aren’t they leaping to his defense? Much like how they didn’t leap to the defense of a black legal gun owner who was murdered by police.

        They generally dont do that. Theres a highly publicized exception every once in a while, but it is not the norm.

          Weird, you’d think those two national news cases would be exactly the time for an organization that claims to be a gun rights organization would make a highly publicized exception for.

          Kyle Rittenhouse? They were behind him all the way.

          It sure sounds more like they don’t care about gun owners when they don’t look a certain way or have a certain political bent.
