Without the NRA, the instant check would have been a fifteen day waiting period and you know that.

Yes, but they went at the wrong end. Rather than fight the background check, they made it easier which has two downsides

  1. People need to be inconvenienced by it or there won't be enough resentment to get it repealed and
  2. computerizing it makes it much easier for the government to create and keep a permanant registration list which the FBI and ATF are doing now

Your childish attacks on the NRA are nothing but a move to make paying gun activists move from one organization to another

Totally wrong - I'm trying to get people to STOP supporting gun control. Anyone who belongs to the NRA and believes that they're a hard line pro-gun organization needs to be aware of the fact that they will compromise the the anti-gunners ever chance they get.

Motivate the 95% of the gunowners who are sitting on the sidelines and I might be impressed.

Impressing you is at the very bottom of my priority list. You seem to think that I give a rat's ass what you think. I don't. You and the other NRA apologists are blind to the truth. You keep talking about working together with the NRA. What a joke. The only way to work together with the NRA is to follow their anti-gun compromise doctrine to the letter. It's their way or the highway. The reason that I and other pro gun activists criticise the NRA is that to work with the NRA is to embrace their doctrine of pre-emptive surrender. So no, I can't work with them unless they are willing to work with me and they ain't.

You might not be able to work with them but even when the NRA took a neutral stand on the trigger lock law, the CSG website was STILL calling for help from the NRA members.

Are you totally incapable of doing ANYTHING without mentioning the NRA?

Pathetic.
