On the way back to Springfield, Will took the initiative to talk to Li Mu about Rowan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The Celtic Hotel is run by Rowan, this guy also has business in New York and Boston, if you find the most well-informed guy in Springfield, it must be him, with him can save us a lot of work, as long as those guys have a cold, the next time we will appear-" Will is full of confidence, it seems that he and Rowan are not working together for a day or two.

"What are we going to do next, go home and wait for news?" Li Mu still doesn't understand the work of the sergeant.

"How is it possible, now is not the time to sit back and relax, we still have work to do, and then we go to Ryan Matthew, who is also a black and white guy, and his news will provide us with more references." Will wasn't going to hang himself from a tree with a crooked neck, and now that he had started to lay the net, Will had to weave it more tightly.

Ryan Matthew is the president of the Springfield Rifle Association, an organization that was founded just last year, but it is growing rapidly in the Springfield area, Springfield is the center of arms production in the United States, and it has the highest rifle ownership rate in the country, basically every family will have one or several rifles, in other words, every family in Springfield is a member of the Gun Association, or at least a potential member.

The address of the Rifle Association is right next to the Springfield Arsenal, and except for special people like Will, in current Springfield, everyone who wants to buy a rifle must first register with the Rifle Association before they can be eligible to buy a rifle.

The logo of the rifle association is a bald eagle holding two rifles, two rifles crossed together, with an olive branch and a shield of American flags in the background.

The rifle is obviously a weapon used to kill people, but it is forcibly associated with the olive branch that represents peace, and the taste of wanting to cover it is very strong.

Walking into the door with the logo of the Rifle Association, Li Mu was startled by the scene in front of him, the hall was very lively, dozens of people were queuing up to get the form, and then filling in the form under the guidance of the staff, as long as they filled out the form, they would automatically become members of the Rifle Association.

There were a lot of people waiting to receive the watch, including gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, peasants with their suspender trouser legs pulled up and their shirts crooked, those with good tempers could still wait quietly, and those with bad tempers began to curse when they were impatient, and the only few staff members were busy maintaining order, distributing forms, and instructing those who did not know how to write and ink to fill out the forms, and their voices were hoarse.

Although the overall level of education in the Springfield area is already the highest in the United States, there are still many people who have not received education, and it is really fatal to let these guys fill out the form, and it is estimated that they can't even write their own names.

Will seemed to be a regular visitor to the Rifle Association, and led Li Mu and Bresta through the bustling hall and went straight to the second floor.

Ryan Matthew was a sturdy middle-aged man, wearing an old military uniform with the rank mark removed, sitting in a chair with a straight waist, showing a good level of training, this guy must have been a soldier, and the whole person was like a rifle.

Listening to Will's intentions, Ryan Matthew didn't refuse, this guy talked less nonsense, didn't mean to tease Li Mu, and his eyes were always on Will: "I heard that you bought more than a dozen rifles a few days ago, but I didn't see your application form, can I understand that you are despising my work?" ”

Ryan Matthew's expression is serious, not joking, and he taps his fingers on the table as he speaks, fully expressing his displeasure.

"Come on, you know I didn't mean that, don't you just want me to join the Rifle Association, okay, okay, get me a form, I'll join right away." Will seemed to be familiar with Ryan, and slumped in the chair in front of Ryan's desk with a big grin, not like a sheriff.

Will is not a member of the Rifle Association?

Ryan Matthew's job is really not doing a good job.

In other words, the rifle association is not as large as it is in the twenty-first century.

In the 21st century, the National Rifle Association, or NRA, has nearly 4 million members, making it the oldest and largest civil rights advocacy organization in the United States. Although the NRA is a non-partisan and non-profit organization, the Rifle Association actively participates in American politics and has a huge influence in American politics, and is known as the fourth pole of political power outside the separation of powers.

The first and current chairman of the National Rifle Association is Ambrose Everett Burnside, a famous Northern general during the Civil War, this guy is a weapons manufacturer, not only produces weapons, but also commands troops to kill people with weapons, under Burnside's lobbying, Burnside's old boss, the current president Ulysses S. Grant, known as the "victorious general", also joined the National Rifle Association, and the National Rifle Association has entered a period of rapid development.

For now, the National Rifle Association, while promising, is not going well.

The establishment of the National Rifle Association was built on the basis of the Civil War, when the North of the United States, although it had an industrial advantage and an advantage in military strength, was always suppressed by the Southern troops. After the war, the officers of the Northern Army concluded that it was not because we were incompetent, but because the Southerners were too good at playing with guns -- the Southerners of the United States had a so-called "gun-wielding ranger" culture since ancient times, so some veterans of the Northern Army jumped out and shouted: We want to let the Northerners, no, all Americans learn to play with guns.

Thus was born the National Rifle Association.

But in 1872, seven years after the Civil War, and after the war, peace became the main theme, so the idea of the Rifle Association seemed a bit out of place, and many people thought that in peacetime, rifles were not a necessity, so the Rifle Association was now facing a hidden danger.

Specific to the Springfield area, even Will, the sheriff, did not join the National Rifle Association, so you can imagine the dilemma of the National Rifle Association.

Of course, now that Will has finally joined the Rifle Association, it can also be understood as a victory for the Springfield Rifle Association.

Will's attitude was very satisfying to Ryan Matthew, and Ryan Matthew personally brought the form and instructed Will to register.

Li Mu wanted to take the initiative to integrate into American society, so Li Mu also asked for one, which made Ryan Matthew finally have a smile on Li Mu.

It is indeed good to be happy that the National Rifle Association does not provide free services to its members, and the annual membership fee is ten cents per person, but people like Li Mu and Weir have only a drizzle of annual membership dues, and their donations are the main income of the National Rifle Association.
