You are absolutely “on target”!!!! For years I’ve been saying that the NRA is the Jessie Jackson/Al Sharpton faction of the gun rights community. They have no reason to want total gun freedom. If we got rid of all gun laws they’d put themselves out of work/huge salaries and out of their big glass tower in Fairfax!
NRA was instrumental in getting a mental health bill passed in South Dakota. Way too many folks with no understanding of the long history of NRA and the dangers of mental health bills. NRA is behind the move to strengthen NICS in every area as a supposed means to protect gun rights.
NICS would be the National Instant Criminal Background Check System the place your gun store calls to get your purchase approved, or disapprove and they are all in for expansion of background checks What is even more surprising is no mention of the one group that does not compromise nagr.org
Shall not be infringed covers things pretty well in my mind, so why do we need a background check for making people prohibited persons? Why has the NRA been around since 1871 and since 1934 has been a witness if not a participant in every egregious unconstitutional Federal infringement of the means to protect ourselves? Why, Why, Why?
As you have so eloquently have stated, it is time for Al and Jesse to move on, stop quibbling away what is God given and standing for everything that comes out of the Federal pipeline that is designed to remove as many folks as humanly possible from the roles of those who still have the “right” to bare arms. Believe me the spelling is intentional.
This thread is probably already in the vault of old threads, but at least I got to say my two cents worth.
I never thought of them that way, but I agree with you.
