Controversies

edit

The first two controversies do not have any source to backup their claims so I've put in citation requested. If some has citeable sources per Wikipedia guidleines, please add them. -TheDrew (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've added a link to the Moncton shooting and expanded on that section of this article with info from that page. I found zero info on the first controversy, claiming that the NRA funds/controls them. I've since deleted the following: "The NFA has been criticized for both being irrelevant in Canada, now that the Canadian long-gun registry has been revoked.[citation needed] It has also been criticized for being a puppet organization of the American National Rifle Association, from which the NFA gets a majority of its funding.[citation needed]"

This section was deleted entirely bit-by-bit. I've restored it. It's the only part of the article with 3rd-party sources. The referencing can be improved, but it's inappropriate to simply delete it outright.
At the same time, a huge section devoted to the NFA's actions has been added. That material looks like it might have been copied from their website or a press release. It needs references and probably a major re-write for NPOV. Felsic2 (talk) 18:40, 16 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The article ONLY details controversies.

As such, I've added the NPOV tags at the top. I shall get to work tomorrow making this page more neutral and less lop-sided in its extremely negative, biased state at this moment. TheEpicGhosty (talk) 03:03, 16 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
