Where's the NRA on the Castile shooting and injustice?

Can you guys tell me what you would like to hear the NRA say?

The NRA should stress that gun rights apply to blacks, just as much as they do whites.

Castille acted legally when stopped by the police, blacks should not fear being shot by law enforcement when they declare a fire arm.

Police should have better training when it comes to interacting with legal gun owners.

Latino shot him. Why do you hate hispanics?

Then pull out your gun when an officer tells you not to. You too will be dead and he will be exonerated.

Again, it never happened here. Cop imagined it. Should someone die when a cop imagines a threat? I think you are not bothered by that. That's your right, but don't try to blame the victim for the cop's fantasy and ridiculously unprofessional demeanor. People will tell you how stupid you are if you do that.

Then why should I give a fuck what the lame comedian has to say? Don't post his lame propaganda that blames things that are not at fault.

What you lefties are really doing here is trying to score political points using a tragedy. You should take a look at yourselves.

It isn't a matter of scoring points, the NRA could have used this as a teaching moment. Responsible gun owners can also be black. It would carry a lot of weight coming from NRA.

Tell it to the jury.

The first two statements are common sense. They don't need to be said. Of course had the NRA jumped in and talked about those things, you'd be critical of them for exploiting a tragedy to drum up membership.

The last statement, I agree with you on. They should be talking about how shitty the police are.

Suppose they do that: The obvious liberal attack vector would be the implicit racism in needing to point out that blacks have rights. Of course they do! They would be accused of trying to exploit the tragedy. It would be called a dog whistle said tongue in cheek to racists with a wink and a nod.

Lets break this down:

1) Black guy follows the law and exercises his constitutional rights.

2) Law kills black guy.

3) Legal system exonerates law.

4) Group dedicated to promoting, advocating and LOBBYING for #1 is suspiciously silent.

Conclusion: We can't criticize police, because blue lives matter. The legal system can't be criticized, because "tell it to the jury". We can't question why the NRA isn't protesting, because that responsibility falls on the now-exonerate police who can't be criticized. And we can't call it racism, because that would be racist.

That about sum things up?

Considering it was an hispanic cop who shot the guy that makes your call of racism a lot harder to support unless you are going for the all encompassing institutional racism charge.

Well, then, perhaps they should just be quiet when it comes to all matters concerning guns.

They speak on incidents where collective gun rights are threatened. I understand why you think they should have something to say. But I don't see how anything they could say could make a difference. The NRA doesn't train police. They might have programs they sponsor that aid in training the police, but they are not responsible for certifying police officers, and they are not responsible for civil rights violations by police.

To summarize: It is the police, the legal system, the jury, racism, and the NRA's fault. I see you've been taking Hillary lessons.

Here's the dashcam video. I said the cop told him twice not to pull out his gun, it was really three times:
