The same reason ruzzians don’t.
They did. They were just bad at it.
You can’t expect the brown shirts to resist their own guy.
It's almost as if it was all bullshit to get you to donate to a organization specifically designed to enrich its officers and gun manufacturers.
That's wildly underselling it. The financial aspect is almost anecdotal. The 2nd amendment movement has only ever served one purpose above everything else: Arm white people to manage, deter, and even lynch black people, as well as to prepare for the eventual transition to fascism.
This is part of why the Great American Project was doomed to degenerate into fascism long decades Maga was a thing. Wildly racist violent thugs were given the sociopolitical power to establish this whole charade about "resisting tyranny" when it was only ever about minorities. Always. Even supposed liberals bought into this lie, eternal shame upon these useful idiots. Yet every time since the American Civil War where black people started actually organizing and exercising their 2A right ended with those rights gutted or those communities actually being fucking bombed. That should have been pretty telling. But Americans collectively kept up the repeatedly disproven pretense that this was about "fundamental rights".
Anyway if you can't tell recent events have got me pretty fired up about the innumerable ways in which american self-mythology has only ever served fascist agendas.
They won't do that. Every time some fucking pig uses their horse to step on a protestor they nut.
The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons
Throughout the late 1960s, the militant Black nationalist group used their understanding of the finer details of California’s gun laws to underscore their political statements about the subjugation of African-Americans. In 1967, 30 members of the Black Panthers protested on the steps of the California statehouse armed with .357 Magnums, 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols and announced, “The time has come for Black people to arm themselves.”
The display so frightened politicians—including California governor Ronald Reagan—that it helped to pass the Mulford Act, a state bill prohibiting the open carry of loaded firearms, along with an addendum prohibiting loaded firearms in the state Capitol. The 1967 bill took California down the path to having some of the strictest gun laws in America and helped jumpstart a surge of national gun control restrictions.
...
In contrast to the NRA’s rigid opposition to gun control in today’s America, the organization fought alongside the government for stricter gun regulations in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to keep guns out of the hands of African-Americans as racial tensions in the nation grew. The NRA felt especially threatened by the Black Panthers, whose well-photographed carrying of weapons in public spaces was entirely legal in the state of California, where they were based.
Uh, the average level of American marksmanship that we've seen suggests that tyranny is perfectly safe.
Suddenly, the storm troopers in Star Wars make sense
Sorry they only fight against improving the lives of people not actual tyranny
Best they can do is wing a few reporters.

Read this as "Cmon do a racist tyranny" at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade...
But yeah, "resist" works too.
Oh they will rise up, but it will be on the side of tyranny.
NRA obviously isn't going to help us, but your local Socialist Rifle Association would be more amenable to resisting tyranny. If there is no chapter in your area get some like minded friends together and start one.
Edit: How could I forget your local John Brown Gun Club, good number of chapters around the country and they will be comrades.
SRA is pretty explicit about not being a "militia" of any kind. Good place to meet cool people, but they won't be resisting under the SRA banner. John Brown Gun Club on the other hand is a little less timid about showing up to protect people.
Thanks for mentioning them, my thoughts were apparently not fully engaged yet when I posted, and originally said 'Socialist Rifle Club', my brain combined them into one
Might have better luck with the Marine Corps than the NRA. Either way, it won't be an organizational/top-down thing.

The marines were just deployed domestically (blatantly unconstitutional) and they complied with the unlawful order. They are part of the fascist insurrection.
I mean, you're right, but it's because of their demographics and proximity to the situation that I said what I said.
Few NRA members will be in any position to intervene or see the reality first-hand. Meanwhile, Marines have seen their spouses and other relatives deported in recent months. Trump was an idiot to deploy them like so, as opposed just about any other branch of the active-duty military.
Bet they were salivating at shooting illegals while violating the constitution.
Should've packed them in like sardines with no food or water. They went there with the intent to murder.
White supremacist organizations like the NRA are constantly working to impose tyranny.
Democrat-voting socialist here, this argument is fucking stupid because nothing is stopping the Left from also buying guns and doing what this post is implying. Y'all just want an easy target to hate and impotently complain online about, when you could also go buy a gun, organize, and stop tyranny yourself.
Fuck Trump fuck Republicans, but also fuck Democrats, including you the person reading this, for being associated with gun fearing pussies who want other people to do the hard work for you.
They're literally just pointing out the hypocrisy and lies of the organization but okay
"Including you the person reading this".
We don't all live in the US you know...
What other countries have the NRA, dipshit?
I'm not kink shaming, but isn't it dangerous to fuck yourself with your gun, buddy? Be safe!
It's not dangerous if you insert using the correct type of gun lube and not have a round in the chamber, if you know what i mean 🚬🥸
What do you expect from a bunch of terrorists?
I mean, we all knew that the NRA was on the fascists' side, but what about all those leftist gun owners that kept spamming the "under no pretext" quote after every school shooting? Surely they'll be starting their glorious revolution any minute now, right?
All 12 of them?
It's not very effective...
