Since 1960, the National Rifle Association has supported law enforcement by providing firearms instruction to officers and training new firearms instructors through its Law Enforcement Activities Division (LEAD). To date, more than 50,000 instructors have been trained by the NRA.
In 2007, the NRA trained 2061 law enforcement instructors, a new record. 2007 was the sixth straight year the NRA has topped itself in the number of law enforcement trainers they have trained.
“Every year, the NRA is proud to say that we have helped keep the public safe by providing state-of-the-art training to law enforcement instructors,” said Kayne Robinson in the March 2008 issue of America’s First Freedom. Robinson is the executive director of NRA general operations.

I am glad that we have an NRA that supports LEO training! But, as a Jewess in the US, I want to remind everyone that America wasn’t won with a registered gun, and that criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk. That is why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!
