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.

Support both.

I find the CCFR is better at outreach but I don't agree with several of their positions (ex. the grandfathering fiasco not long ago), whereas I feel the NFA supports actual strong firearms ownership in Canada.

The NFA had big issues up until a few years ago but they've cleaned up a lot.

Yea but the NFA doesn't actually do anything. Never see them on the news. Youtube account is 15k compared to CCFR 105k. They can post strong positions on their websites and throw out a video every month or two, but they arent actually doing anything to help like taking the govt to court and challenging anything.
