Hope you aren’t regretting your lifetime membership dollars going to a group where they employ folks that say dumbass things like this.
I mean he’s a freaking spokesman for the group.
No, I’m not regretting it. Without the NRA there would be no 2nd Amendment anymore. It would be stupid to regret giving them $500 dollars 27 years ago anyway. What I regret is that out of 100 million gun owners only about 1.5 million will stand up for our right to keep and bear arms. The NRA’s power comes from its membership rolls. Think what influence they would have with 10 million members. Not to mention the influence they would have over the NRA.
precisely why I refuse to re-up with them
Read the linked article and the NRA’s followup. Hutchinson was saying the present background check could be improved by better entry of felon and mentally prohibited data, not expansion to private sales and transfers. The media was jumping on one part of his statements to distort his meaning. The NRA responded to say whatever he may say, it was not official NRA policy.
