The FOPA is more notable because it is the most egregious infringement of our RKBA ever, banning all modern machine guns made after that date.

The machinegun ban portion of that bill was inserted by Charlie Rangel and William Hughes in a questionable voice vote when most of the chamber had gone home for the night. It wasn't a NRA compromise, it was Democrat abuse of procedure.

I don't recall hearing that the NRA did anything to keep the abusive law from being signed.

That seems like accession to a terrible compromise of our most critical rights.

How do you explain the NRA's silence re the Lautenberg Abomination?

Have you ever tried to get the NRA to comment on its participation in passing the MG ban? I have tried for years and have yet to have anyone from the NRA comment on it. It is though this subject is taboo.

The only response I ever received was from Wayne P., who in a repsonse to my letter at the time told me in no uncertain terms that the MG guys were sacrificed to protect the other firearms owners. Now, the question begs to be asked, the next time something like this comes up, who is the NRA going to sacrifice? It darn sure won't be any of the Fudds or target shooters. I will never trust the NRA as I did prior to 1986 again.

After having been a life member of the NRA for over 25 years I have learned that the only time they give a damn about the average member is why they want money.
