Florida school shooting suspect was on rifle team that got NRA grant

The troubled teen authorities say killed 17 people at a Florida high school excelled in an air-rifle marksmanship program supported by a grant from the National Rifle Association Foundation, part of a multimillion-dollar effort by the gun group to support youth shooting clubs. Nikolas Cruz, 19, was wearing a maroon shirt with the logo from the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when he was arrested Wednesday shortly after the shooting.

The one and only real thing that the NRA has done over the years is to teach gun safety... They have been doing that for years. when I was in school ( long time ago) we too had shooting teams that competed with other schools shooting teams just like every other sport...

I have guns, I am not and never will be a member of the NRA, other than the safety they teach they have no redeeming features or values whatsoever
