“In order to win NRA sponsorships, military instructors who lead JROTC marksmanship teams at public high schools have repeatedly promised to promote the organization at competitions and in newsletters, post NRA banners at their schools or add the NRA logo on apparel worn by the students. ”

Way to go, NRA! Way to promote sensitive gun control in our schools. way to go
