f Parker is the long-awaited “clean” case, one reason may be that lawyers for the National Rifle Association—who helped steer the legal strategy of the plaintiffs and backed them financially—have learned from earlier defeats, and crafted the case to maximize the chances of Supreme Court review.
Stuff and nonsense. Parker is a "clean" case because the lawyers from CATO worked hard to make it such. The NRA has done everything possible to keep it from being heard - from trying to take over the case, to filing parallel cases that include stacks of irrelevant issues that seem to have been intentionally designed to give the courts a reason to dismiss on other grounds, to trying to get Congress to repeal the ban rendering the case moot. The NRA does, finally, seem to have gotten on board with Parker, but the streng6h of the case has nothing to do with the NRA.

Utterly, 100% correct. The NRA is, like a bunch of JBTs attacking the Branch Davidian compound, busy reinforcing the belief of those who think that the NRA is more about keeping their jobs than our guns. I’ve been an NRA member for 18 years, and I’m damned close to not renewing after the nonsense with Parker and the crap with NICS. Geez Louise, trying to stop the best pro-gun case to ever come down the pike and cooperating with Chucky Schumer in the same year!!!
