Now there is the question regarding part of this bill that would have reinstated some people’s Rights from as far back as the 1960’s. Is the GOA going to see that part of this bill is passed?
We all know that you’re the NRA’s chief propagandist here.
Save your breath.
Total red herring. You should be less gullible.
The GOA has much higher standards than the NRA. The NRA has desperately tried to derail the Parker/Heller case at least twice. The first time was when they tried to bully their own lawsuit in DC (which failed) demanding that the Parker case be combined with theirs. When that didn’t work, they pushed the DC gun ban repeal AFTER Heller and Parker won in the appealate court.
Something that people need to understand about the NRA, they are a professional lobbying organization. THEY ARE NOT A 2ND AMENDMENT ORGANIZATION. They will do what they have to do in order to get a larger membership and bigger controversy.
As to the bill in question, the NRA is supposedly backing this because it will give money to BATFE’s rights restoration department. This has happened twice in the last dozen years and each time, the BATFE has re-allocated the money to enforcement. This time will be no different and the NRA knows it. So why are they willing to compromise once again on the 2nd Amendment?
I don’t mean to rag on you but I get sick of people trashing GOA when they have no clue what GOA has done for our rights. GOA spent more than double the money that the NRA did in order to ensure that the 1994 ban sunsetted in 2004. NRA of course tried to take the credit but the calls and letters I got were from GOA urging contact with the congresscritters. I received only one letter from NRA on the subject.
