# NRA Member Propaganda This is a membership badge or advertisement for the **National Rifle Association (NRA)**, featuring their iconic eagle emblem holding a gear (representing industry/manufacturing) and lightning bolts (representing power). The text "WE DO OUR PART JUDGE" appears to reference the **NRA's Blue Eagle campaign** from the early 1930s New Deal era, when the NRA (then the National Recovery Administration) promoted compliance with industrial codes. However, this appears to be a satirical repurposing by *Judge* magazine—a publication known for political humor. The ambiguity between the two "NRA" organizations and the somewhat absurd juxtaposition suggests satire of either corporate self-regulation, government agency overreach, or possibly the firearms organization's claims of public service. The specific satirical target remains unclear without additional context.
