Ya know, the thing that pisses me off, and why I dropped the NRA, is that their superPAC will donate to the election/re-election of any Democrat who convinces them they're pro-gun.
After which election, said democrat will vote in lockstep with Obama on every issue.

The NRA needs to step back and see the forest, and delete any and every "D" from their contribution rolls.

Amen Brother. You will get no argument from me on the mission of the NRA which is to perpetuate the NRA over any perceived concern for the second amendment.

The NRA would not understand the words “shall not be infringed” if it was a tattoo on the forehead of every single paid person in their employ.

I have tried for over fifty years to understand where they are on the scale of concern. My own censored NRA rating is probably influenced by my attempts at taking them to task for the very things you have stated in your comments.

I know seriously anti-gun democrats with a higher rating. Could be my stance on the NFA of 1936. An act to stop hardened criminals from doing each other in with machine guns, at the expense of honest law abiding citizens and the arms industry. Everyone in the USA could afford one and they would still be manufactured in sustainable numbers were it not for the congress conveniently forgetting those important words “shall not be infringed”.

I say this about machine guns in general and not just the Thompson sub gun.

The long term result of 1936 law and 1986 law is the serious and obvious situation where the lowliest Sheriff is able to outgun any citizen in the USA, and the US Govt outguns everyone. The citizenry is left with WWI and WWII
relics that are considerably less than state of the art, and in numbers, decreasing with time.

The NRA should consider every single law passed by congress that infringes on the second amendment to point to abject failure on their part. Fat chance.

Any old timers remember Neal Knox? I’m not putting words in his mouth, but I think he wrestled with the same issues and eventually could no longer deal with them, and went his own way.

Too bad the NRA isn’t on the side of the American people.

Bingo!

That’s why I dropped them and hang up on them when they call!
