The few NRA banquets I’ve been at weren’t 100% white but minorities (including women) were really and truly “minority”. Ducks Unlimited dinners can be more mixed but it comes down to location, location.

(I like the DU version much better but that’s strictly a personal choice)

Quick question, were guns allowed at the banquet?

Yeah, does everyone shoot automatic weapons into the ceiling to signal agreement with the speaker?

Cuz I can really see that…

Did you learn how to, with just a few minor adjustments, turn a regular gun into five guns?
