The NRA only gets behind Second Amendment activism when it will help their organization, other than that they relish the fund raising opportunities... there is a BIG difference between Second Amendment support and 'pro-gun advocacy'. The NRA Shuns a Second Amendment MartyrPhilando Castile died because he exercised his right to bear arms.Jacob Sullum, June 21, 2017 Philando Castile did what you are supposed to do if you have a concealed-carry permit and get pulled over by police: He let the officer know he had a gun. Had Castile been less forthcoming, he would still be alive. Last Friday a Minnesota jury acquitted the cop who killed Castile of second-degree manslaughter, demonstrating once again how hard it is to hold police accountable when they use unnecessary force. The verdict also sends a chilling message to gun owners, since Castile is dead because he exercised his constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Jeronimo Yanez, an officer employed by the St. Anthony, Minnesota, police department, stopped Castile around 9 p.m. on July 6 in Falcon Heights, a suburb of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The official reason was a nonfunctioning brake light. reason.com/archives/2017/06/21/the-nra-shuns-a-second-amendment-martyr
