An MSNBC correspondent was interviewing a representative of the NRA and asked him what the organization believes important to teach young people.
“Shooting, of course” was the reply.
“Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?” the female TV reporter asked, to which the NRA spokesman answered, “I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range…”
