You are never wrong. So NRA is the oldest?
Find one that predates 1871 if you can.
Thanks. Typo. No disrespect.
No worries bro, my nads are still intact.
"The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is the oldest civil rights organization in the country given that it has been in continuous operation since 1880 with the mission of preserving, protecting, and promoting the civil, human and linguistic rights of all deaf and hard of hearing people in the United States. Recent stories on the Internet have however focused on two well-known entities laying claim to being the oldest civil rights organization in the United States: the NAACP and the National Rifle Association (NRA).
On its website, the NAACP makes the statement: “Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization.” The National Rifle Association (NRA), formed in 1871, states on its website that it “is America’s longest-standing civil rights organization. We’re proud defenders of history’s patriots and diligent protectors of the Second Amendment.”
According to the NRA website, its founder wrote in a magazine editorial that at its formation in 1871, “the primary goal of the association would be to ‘promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis.’” This goal remained for more than six decades until 1934 when “in response to repeated attacks on the Second Amendment rights, NRA formed its Legislative Affairs Division.” As a result, the NRA is older than the NAACP but did not engage in civil rights activities until after the formation of the NAACP. As a result, the NAACP is repeatedly referred to as the oldest civil rights organization in this country.
However, the NAD began with its first national convention on August 25, 1880 with the intent of promoting the needs and rights of deaf people in the United States. Since that time, deaf and hard of hearing members of this organization have worked together to address barriers and injustices that their community experienced across the country. The organization formally adopted the name of “National Association of the Deaf” in 1889. This founding predates the NAACP by at least twenty years."

The NAD’s own website says they were formed in 1913.
You mean NAACP?
The NRA is not going to go bankrupt and disband. Soon as their financial woes make the news, donations will pour in. There is a segment of the population that thinks being a member of, or donating to the NRA makes them patriotic.

No, that would be 1909.
You’re wrong.
hey, the NRA is 3rd. that’s more accurate than we usually get here.
I’ve a feeling the organization will be just fine.
Civil rights and the NRA. Never thought I’d see those words in the same sentence. Must be someone’s pipe dream.
