So, the NRA waiting for a full set of facts in this situation is a problem? The Wash.Post can hardly contain their glee at being able to say "nah nah hypocrite!"

Only, to rational adults who didnt graduate from J-school, waiting for verificatin of the facts including the important point that Castillo legally carried just seems responsible.

I don't see an internal split, just some clickbait stories chummed with social media snippets.

Here's another perspective... (trigger warning: link contains black man with gun...)

Exactly, there have been conflicting stories out there that said he did have a carry permit and others that said he didn't. Finally one of the newspapers in the area confirmed that he did and then the NRA made their statement.

Sharpton was out there whining about Alton Sterling for the same reason, ignoring the felony record and domestic assault charges he had.

Here's why you wait for the facts to come in...

The gun control group founder Shannon Watts tweeted this during the Michigan courthouse shooting:

THIS is outcome of @NRA (https://twitter.com/NRA)'s dangerous agenda of guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime: no questions asked. Berrien County

Shannon added,


After you think and pray, will you act? Or will you continue to do bidding of the @NRA (https://twitter.com/NRA)? #BerrienCounty (https://twitter.com/hashtag/BerrienCounty?src=hash) #DisarmHate (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DisarmHate?src=hash)

An inmate took a gun from a baliff and killed two people before he was killed, but in her warped mind it is the NRA's fault.
