35. There's a reason for that.
Edited on Tue May-25-10 06:22 PM by AtheistCrusader
Because Democrats tend to consistently support incremental or outright bans on firearms, or places to lawfully use them, or places people can carry them. Which is anathema to the NRA's foundational goal.

If northern soldiers hadn't sucked for the first half of the Civil War, we wouldn't have an NRA you know. Northern Generals like Grant (later President) pushed for the NRA because we spent the first half of the war getting our asses rolled.

Edit: Most of them are 'blue dogs', but there are Democrats that enjoy solid support from the NRA.
I am not a member, and I do not suggest anyone become one, but the training they offer was selected for a reason, it is available, and one of the only games in town when it comes to child firearms safety training. It can't really BE improved upon. Unless you want to show small children pictures of other children with their skulls blown all over a wall. That might work. Not sure other parents would appreciate it though.
