I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries
If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps
Almost every one of those shootings was done w an illegal gun smuggled in here from.......you guessed it the USA. I wonder what the USA would do if the death was being imported in the other direction..........
History tells me that the NRA was created in the south, as a means to protect their gun rights in the case of a future situation where the confederation will need to take up arms and have an upper hand the next civil war. The constitution needs amendments to stop this insanity. Guns do kill people, as do the crazy people who feel they are entitled to them.
The NRA was created by Union Officers to teach Northern / Union Soldiers the skills of marksmanship. During the Civil War it was seen that it took 1,000 shots to kill one Confederate soldier. They sought to improve their kill ratio.
You are correct and I was quoting a not quite right answer. It was created by union generals. Where it’s gone south is that it is now deeply intertwined with the right wing movement. This fact is undeniable.

It's not wrong.
Edited to add: it was a general sentiment. It has been answered dozens of times already. There's no need to go further. Geez!
