Thank you Mr Alinsky. Have you ever lobbied for a progun organization at the GA legislature? No? I have. And I can assure you that the NRA lobbiests go around making all sorts of anti-gun "compromises" rather than holding the hard line. SO unless you know what you're talking about, which you obviously don't, I suggest you stick your Kool Aid, back in your pocket.
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!
I’m a life member of NYSRPA. That’s right NY. The NRA(also a life member) and its NY state affiate have been dumping tons of cash into the safe act war still going on here. Perhaps they figure if you live in GA you should need less help. Here on Long Island EVERY republican state senator save 1 voted FOR the safe act. They are in for a surprise this election season. The real enemy is GOPe. I wrote my republican senator and got the response that this safe act is the less of 2 evils. Really? Anyway there is a statewide grass roots effort to if not end the safe act then to at least kick the bums out.
But it’s good to know that GA is slipping into the dark side. When I retire and move elsewhere it will not be there. I think we are both happy with my decision.
That's one of the biggest reasons I faded from the NRA. Their backbone is comprised of jello. My mentioned conversation was in regards to a privately owned BAR by another cat. 3 FFL holder. WE PREVAILED WITHOUT THE AID OF THE NRA. NUFF SAID.
Would that be because the lobbyists are "hired guns" who don't believe in causes, values, or rights, and are just "doing a job" from 9 to 5 so they can knock off and go have drinks with the opposition lobbyists?
