I believe in results. Good intentions mean nothing to me.

Here are your "results" from the NRA.....

A spokesman for the National Rifle Association, Andrew Arulanandam, said his organization continues to "be supportive of the legislation that would add the names of those adjudicated as mentally defective to the national instant check list."

With "results" like this, I sure hope you don't have anything in your medical history that proves you to be "mentally defective".

Regarding what SAS has done....we've contacted all of our members and asked them to contact their reps to ask them to stop this legislation. I've personally contacted my Rep and Senators and I know our members have done the same. What have you done?

My guess is: that a Redcoat or two may have taken a ball from someone who wasn't too good with his 'times tables'. And possibly lacking in other social etiquittes, as well.

The villification of arms and arms-owners has proceeded unabated for many years. The 'hero-fication' of guns and gun owners by those in the NRA pales by comparison-yet they keep asking for more money to pursue a limp-course-of-action against a very formidable opponent ( communist major media).

Where the NRA fails is with the second ammendment's inattentiveness to the condition of mental congruity as a condition of the right to bear arms. They were right then, the NRA is wrong now.

A mental-case with a gun is a threat to all-- a properly armed citizenry with discretion is a natural barrier to the harm a nut-case can impose on others. Our Founders probably envisioned a few plots in graveyards dedicated to the purpose of their disposal.

If the second ammendment seems antiquated by today's standards and warrants 'qualifiers' acceptable to the National Rifle Association, as well as those who'd take guns away from all, then we've been accomodating the nuts* too long.

The right of the people to rid themselves of *aberrant and abhorrent individuals resides in their ability to excercise their right to keep, bear, and shoot arms.

Muggers, rapists, carjackers, murderers, etc. should thank their lucky stars that our courts, legislatures, cops, and ultimately the NRA, feel that the 2nd ammendment as written, is fungible. However, they should realize that time is not on their side. Not by a long f**king shot (pun intended).

I have no idea why I have to explain to you how to defeat antigun legislation but here goes anyway. Hint: It’s not sending an email to your members which gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.

You have to meet with every legislator in Congress and the Senate and explain to them that voting for a antigun bill is a bad idea. You then count up the votes for and against the bill to see if you win or lose. If you know the bill is going to be defeated, you can relax and wait for the next time.
If you’re going to lose, you have to minimize the damage and ask your supporters in the legislation to cut down the worse aspects of the bill. In this case, the anti’s probably want anyone who has ever seen a shrink to lose their Gun Rights. That’s not acceptable to any gun group. What will probably happen is this bill will pass if someone is a danger to themselves and others. That’s what the headlines will read.

The antigun morons will still say the NRA tried to give guns to mental hospital patients and the GOA and now the SAS will say the NRA worked to take away your Gun Rights.
