The NRA response to Kyle Rittenhouse

The silence is deafening. When people ask why I refuse to support the NRA and bring up GOA and others, this is why. If the NRA was a legit organization that was fighting for gun owners and pushing back against overreact they would be in front of this legal battle.

Excellent point. One of the reasons I did not renew my membership

GOA reached to Lin Wood as soon as he announced he would be on the case.

The NRA has a policy is let things settle & all the facts to emerge before coming out with an opinion. Not optimal sometimes, but probably wise since everyone jumps to conclusions so fast before all the facts arise.

I think Rittenhouse is innocent, but if I represented a major organization I would likely wait until more facts came out before commenting.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if legal reasons/pending litigation is keeping them from commenting.
ETA: What the previous two posters said.

I'm a lifetime NRA member and I agree.

Almost like it ceased being an advocacy organization and became a slush fund for LaPierre and cronies, right?

What did GOA say about it? What was the NRA supposed to say about an under aged kid, crossing state lines with a semi auto that was not of age to carry? I mean the kid did a bang up job surviving the whole ordeal, but what do want the NRA to say?

I think that they have just lost the view of their purpose. They want to run the NRA like it is a PAC where they never do anything but take congressmen to $1000 dinners. It's really fricking weak. For me, this is exactly where they should be getting involved because the right to self defense is what is on trial.
Bump stocks? Don't fricking care at all. The right to self defense? Yep. That's why I joined. Do something.

Why are you people still spewing this bullshite?
He got the weapon from a friend there in Kenosha, and gave it back to him before going home.

Wisconsin law isn't clear on this. The statute contradicts itself.

Which would be understandable if there wasn’t already tons of video evidence that he was defending his life, which is precisely what the 2A is all about, and is supposed to be what the NRA is all about defending and promoting. Instead, they are going to ride the fence, in case public opinion goes against the kid, even if he was defending his life. The NRA will never get another penny from me. GOA, and NAGR member.

Maybe blindly supporting individuals solely because of political affiliation is not the best idea...

The 2A mentions none of this shite.
