Most of the facts are correct. I'm not sure about the founders of the NRA, but it is a fact that the Democrats were the main segregationists, and the main sponsors of the "black codes" which were intended, in part, to disarm black Americans. At one time, the KKK was essentially the armed militia of the Democrats.
My understanding was that the NRA was founded to improve marksmanship to improve the pool of young men entering the military.
