They were founded as a firearms education and safety group, and that's still a big part of what they do, but as of the last 15-20 years they've gone insane. I'm not advocating for them either way (though I do think their safety training is good and should be listened to), just pointing out up till about Clinton they weren't insane violent White Wingers.
