"Nor is there anything in the second amendment which prevent some laws wrt firearms being legitimate, initially it did not even apply to the states only the fedgov."
Huh? Who is the one that is being sucked in by the liberal agenda, I am finding hard to believe you are NRA with that statement.
"Most of us on the FR recognize that the AW ban is unnecessary and would do no good"
Unnecessary? No, we call it unconstitutional. What part of shall not infringe do you not understand? That is paramount in the NRA.
"That is what needs to be addressed and worked on not quixote campaigns against real friends and fellow patriots."
If he signs the extension or a new AWB, he is not a friend of the Constitution or conservatives, nor is he a fellow patriot. This could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It is not the only issue, but one of many, that will define if he is a friend and patriot.
"Plus it should be obvious to all that the spate of gun control laws stopped when the GOP achieved more control of the Congress and the Presidency."
It may have stopped, but that is not enough all the unconstitutional laws should be revoked. With the GOP controlling Congress and the WH, there is no reason this can't happen. But again, you being in the NRA, you should know that.

Those who complain that it is too hot then jump into the oven are not role models for anything rational.
