sir,as a fellow gun owner and NRA member,I would like to thank you for an
intelligent and articulate response to what was unfortunately an all too
familiar impression of the NRA by a non-member.

Fred,
The NRA does NOT promote automatic weapons for sporting purposes
and never has. Handguns of larger calibers are used for hunting very
effectively when configured and scoped properly. Handgun hunting
presents its own set of challenges and actually gives the game
more of a sporting chance. I will not even address the ignorant comment
about high school students. It doesn't deserve an intellegent response.
Your fear of guns has been fed by the anti-gun lobby propaganda to show
the NRA in a less than responsible light. The NRA
trains Police officers every year in classes that will probably save
their lives. They also also promote gun safety and they NEVER promote
gun use by children. They in fact have a program that is taught in many
schools in the United States called the Eddie Eagle
Program. This program teaches children when they see a gun, not to
touch it, go get get an adult. An adult would not be afraid of a gun.
Maybe if you see a gun, you should not touch it, go get a responsible
adult.
