Where did the Brady Law go???

How about the legal battle won in Washington DC to find the handgun ban unconstitional??? Lots of NRA money went to fight that little battle.

If you don’t want to belong so what, but to say they have done nothing is obsurd.

Excuse me but the NRA didn’t support Parker vs DC. The legal support for that came from the Cato Institute. And that case is now going to the US Supreme Court so it’s not settled law yet....DC has appealed it.

Nowhere. Only the interim provisions were challenged and found unconstitutional, and not on second amendment grounds. The NRA has been loathe to take a case to the Supreme Court on the basis of the second amendment, mostly out of fear. The final provisions, which added long guns to the requirement for the Instant Background check, are still in effect and are being enforced.
