I'm an NRA life member, and I remain wary. The weasel words and endless deceit of politicians know no bounds.
I fear that all of those who supported it based on a system to restore [IE grovel before the masters, which already exists but is ignored] God given freedoms, were wishfully thinking that somehow the grabbers would compromise their agenda in the future.
I see a lot of rights being restored/protected for vets who are LEO, as long as they tow the line and bust the opposing heads, just dont think the average vet will be protected past, present or future...my.02...
That’s the bit that chaps my butt.
Just who is/will be a “lawful authority”?
How long before school councilors are a “lawful authority”?
It’s so easy, just make all good libs a “lawful authority” and place all the gun owners/Republicans on the list. Gun ownership problem in America solved - except for the criminals.
I’m with you, Joe!
Be Ever Vigilant!
The fact that McCarthy/Schumer/Brady are for it, should be reason enough to be against it.
The NRA is wrong on this one. They fail to mention three items in this 'explanation': Chuck Schumer, Carolyn McCarthy, and Pat Leahy.
Three of the most ardent anti-gun senators in office today are the SPONSORS of this bill. That alone is reason enough for me.
This issue has come about because the of the Virgina Tech shooting. A 'compromise'. It's the wrong answer. What the NRA should be doing instead is attacking the very reasons the shooter was able to pull it off: Active and on the record prevention of on campus concealed carry laws by those in charge. Instead, they are teaming with the enemies of our rights to give them more reasons to block gun ownership. I'm not trying to NRA bash, but I say they are wrong in trusting the very people that are out to take those rights.
For example, this restoration of rights issue. Thruth is, we have that now, but funding is being continually blocked by: Charles Schumer! So he smiles and says we can have what he has easily already taken away and we should believe him? Arrghh!
The NRA has done and continues to do a lot of good. But maybe, just maybe, it's time to get new people in the organization to deal with Congress. Those there now seem to be getting a little comfortable.
Enough.
Ok I searched a little on Larry’s political slant on different subjects and long story short Gun Owners trusting Larry is like Chickens trusting Col Sanders.......:o)
