The NRA does not know who took the classes? Really? However can they issue a "certificate" like they did to Adam Lanza if they didn't know his damn name? How were they able to acknowledge that they did, indeed, issue him a certificate and it wasn't a forgery that he created on his very own computer if they didn't know his damn name?
Come on. You're straining the bounds of credulity in an effort to prosecute a failed argument. That mailing list probably gets to that uglyass building by Dulles airport and is distributed for a price to gun and ammo manufacturers (to say nothing of those cheesy hangers-on who produce all sorts of "peripheral" equipment, from hunting gear and gun-centric clothing to specialty "I'm a Big Shot" holsters to body armor) before the certificates are even printed and mailed out.
Those clowns can call themselves a "non-profit" but that's only because they pay themselves obscenely hefty salaries, and there's no "profit" left over after they do that. It reminds me of Susan Komen's sister, paying herself and her board pals millions to run a "non-profit" while jumping in bed with the right wing to cut Planned Parenthood out of their sphere, screwing women out of affordable health care, and pretending to give a shit about them at the same time. Craven opportunism is craven opportunism.
