The NRA doesn't care about hunting.  It used to be they did; when you opened
up the NRA magazine there were articles about trap shooting and articles about
deer hunting and rabbit hunting and recipes and all kinds of cool stuff.  Now
it's just all political lunacy about how everybody needs guns to feel
protected and how evil politicians are going to take our guns away and so
forth.  There's occasionally the article on skeet shooting or something but
the organization and the audience have completely changed.

I miss the NRA when they actually cared about hunting and sport.

I feel sorry for the hunters who just want a society they can belong
to, with maybe a few benefits like liabilty insurance or tips or local
clubs to go to but instead ended up watching their leader be tried for
robbing them blind.

I may not be a hunter, or ever want to be a hunter, but that doesn't
mean I don't recognize when they have been betrayed by an organization
they thought they could trust.
