Okay them find me ten black NRA members. Many blacks own guns. Why aren't they in the NRA?

Where this is leading is - flashback to 1967 when ML King was killed and many conservative/racist whites were convinced that the blacks were going to take over. Rap Brown and the Black Panthers even preached this so it was not a total fantasy. Riotys, riots, riots and rightwing cops shooting not just blacks but liberal whites too.

This mentality is the genesis of the modern NRA. It is also the dark side of Reagan. Nothing to do with the 2nd amendment, but their own amendment which secretly says "we've got a right to arm ourselves to the teeth in case the N**gers or commie liberals ever try something". If you listen to Charlton Heston's uncensored interview in BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE you can pick up the drift quite clearly.

I wouldn't be defending the NRA so much if I were you. They are extremists at heart. They also hate white liberals and many support needless wars like Vietnam and Iraq, maybe even nuclear wars and Armageddon which we've come close to but haven't seen quite yet. PS: I believe we should all be able to own arms (within reason).
