Fixed it for ya
NRA politics? Do you mean it is because of the NRA that GA has no mandated class? If so then I need to donate some cash to the NRA.
Perhaps you mean because of the NRA SC does mandate a class, if that is the case then I need to be sure not to donate to the NRA any time soon.
I dunno what your opinion is on the need of a state or federally mandated class to aquire a purchase and or carry permit BUT I know that I am not in favor of such a thing. As far as I am concerned the federal govt and the individual state govts (a couple of them excluded as they seem to understand the document) have infringed on my right to keep and bear far to much already and I do not relish nor require more infringement.
