Agree, Kennedy's Ammo Ban Amendment is wrong and it should be defeated on it's own lack of merit.

Any attempt, especially by an NRA Director - and cosponsor of S. 1805 (Craig), to ameliorate it is a wrongheaded strategy in my viewpoint.

It would be far better to argue for its outright defeat than attempt to make it palatable in any form.

Not to mention, such action is contrary to the President's request (as well as NRA claimed strategy) that he be sent a "clean bill."

Agree wholeheartedly, but that's been the NRA's MO since at least 1934, when they managed to "compromise" on the National Firearms Act, which is as blatantly an infringement of the RKBA as virtually all other "gun control". They *supported* the near ban (at the time, inflation has made the $200 tax not so bad compared to the value of the guns) in exchange for removal of handguns from the same sort of restrictions that now cover machine guns, short barreled shotguns, etc. Then they didn't lift a finger to challenge it when the Supreme Court took up the is, not even a measly amicus brief, and thus only the government's side of the issue was ever addressed in the Court.
