They help in some States, not so much in others.

CCW laws.

That's mostly State groups. The NRA may 'support' them, but how much money did they give the VCDL? Zip.

Manufacturers Protection Act.

Yawn.....

The end of the Assault Weapons Ban.

After the NRA supported it. Thanks for nothing NRA.

Then there's the NFA: The NRA supported that one.

The 1968 GCA? Charlton Heston himself lobbied for it.

The NRA is worse than useless. They're complicit.

The NRA wasn’t a lobbying group until after 1968. I might as well blame the Gun Owners of America for the machine gun taxation of 1934 for the sense you try to make.

The NRA doesn’t manufacture congressional or senatorial votes. When you’re going to lose a lot, it’s best to lose by only a little.

And guys like you are the reason we lose. If we had eighty million NRA members, we wouldn’t have gun control.

The present day CCW laws were started by Marion Hammer in Florida and continued with the NRA for the other states.

The GOA as usual is AWOL.
