"I guess you don't remember a round of emails back and forth when someone was asking you to quit the thirty year old crap and start working together."
Oh. So you are one of the people who doesn't want NRA's longstanding history of supporting gun control to be known? You don't like the fact that history is allowed to speak for itself? In other words, you are a historical censor? Gotcha.
Pass.
Asking us to work with NRA when NRA shills attack us with lies on threads like this one is rather silly, Shooter 2.5. They fear the truth getting out, because it exposes them as enemies of the true Second Amendment. NRA Supported the National Firearms Act of 1934 and has supported many gun control laws since. People need to know that. Let them disavow their past transgressions and we'll talk. Until then, people need to know the truth.
IF you can manage to get the NRA to stop supporting ANY gun control, the longstanding pattern of their support for gun control won't be so important. But since they still support gun control of all shapes and sizes, their history of doing so is vital to people's full understanding of what the NRA really stands for.
"The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun control legislation since its very inception in 1871."
—NRA Executive Vice President Franklin L. Orth
NRA's American Rifleman Magazine, March 1968, P. 22
(source)"We think it's reasonable to support the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act. ... We think it's reasonable to expect full enforcement of federal firearms laws by the federal government. ... That's why we support Project Exile -- the fierce prosecution of federal gun laws...we think it's reasonable because it works. ... We only support what works and our list is proud."

See a pattern there? Yeah. So do we. And as long as that pattern continues, we have something to say about it.
