So yes - they teach it a lot. Any state with mandated gun safety training uses NRA instructors and courses.

They want more guns to be sold.

Their mantra, as always, is "be a good guy with a gun." Buy the latest and scariest gun so you can defeat the baddies.

Bastids!

So, no they do not oppose gun safety. States turn to them to deliver gun safety training - any call for increased gun safety training will result in more business for the NRA.

That may seem to be an extreme meme, but it's not much different from what the NRA has been blaring about for the past 3 decades about gun confiscation.
