I should be posting yesterdays front page tirade by the South Dalota state nra rep vis-a-vis lobbyists for South Dakota Gun Owners who are protesting a law passed in this state that allows the governor as part of the anti-terrorism bill to seize private property including guns. The nra's position was its usual double speak, completely disregarding it's decades long wishy washy stand on the second amendment that has produced so much gun control since 1968 that the populace is now completely outgunned by the military, and police forces, and getting worse every year.

Bottom line, by defending the Constitution, South Dakota Gun Owners has taken the radical position, according to the said nra rep, who ought to know better, but feigns not to, or is following the script, or is flat lying through his teeth. When legislators squeal, and opposing lobbyists obfuscate, someone has found the hot button that brings out the worst in all of them.

...it's decades long wishy washy stand on the second amendment that has produced so much gun control since 1968 that the populace is now completely outgunned by the military...

Since 1937 actually. At least if what I've been told (about the NRA and the NFA) is true. It was the NFA that was instrumental in eliminating the effective military capability of the people.
