Does anyone know if there's ANY validity to this statement. I have a tendency to get into pro RKBA debates with friends and classmates. Invariably the anti's at some point demonize the NRA and spout back the above strange fact. My response: I calmly pull out my membership card and ask them for details, sources, something!

They usualy get red in the face and sputter something about it being common knowledge...

So my question: WHERE did this come from? Is it pure media propaganda, a perversion of an actual statement, or WHAT? 'Cause right now I'm interpreting it as the utter lack of information it appears to be.

I think it is a perversion of the NRA's promotion of firearms training, and the idea in general that if youths were properly educated about firearms (instead of being 'trained' by watching shoot-'em up movies) maybe they wouldn't be so inclined to shoot each other with a gun at the first opportunity. I can't for the life of me understand it. It's ok for kids to watch firearms abused in every conceivable way in the movies and on TV, but try to introduce true safety training that might make them knowledgeable and safety aware, and save lives, and we're monsters. What if the only driver's education kids ever got was by watching chase scenes in the movies? Would'nt our highways be an even worse sea of carnage than they already are? Whoah, don't get me started..... -10CFR
 
That’s got to be the same propaganda as the statements including 18 and nineteen year olds as children, cop killer bullets and the big one take away guns and crime goes down. People will say anything to get their way. Gotta go whitewash the fence.
 
Reply that it's also "common knowledge" that Aliens crash-landed at Roswell, you can burn fat in your sleep by taking a pill, and a man invented a car engine that runs on tap water, but it was bought by the oil companies to maintain their monopoly.

The statement is completely and totally false, an invention of, I believe, Sarah Brady or someone else in the HCI Camp.
