News / Politics / Activism CCFR Vs NFA

I’ve spoken to reps of both organizations and I still don’t understand what the difference is in their objectives and philosophy. Why do they hate each other so much? What led to the split? I understand how the CSSA is different but the NFA and CCFR are both lobby groups that can’t define each other except in opposition to themselves.

The racism, the culture war, dog whistles. Making posts about crime on the instagram and pointing out the suspects race, ethnicity or religion. It’s just chum in the water for hard right wingers.

And when you actually explain how dumb the bans are to the more left leaning non-gun owners without the dog whistles and such, they tend to agree. One guy I know was surprised that ARs and such aren’t actual assault weapons when I sat down and explained it. But some gun owners and lobbyists aren’t doing us any favours by wading in the culture war nonsense.
