“The NRA knew that we were..”

And therein lays the problem, they merely thought they knew, in fact, they filed a lawsuit and attempted to co-opt Levy’s lawsuit into theirs and quash the whole attempt.

Believe it or not, people pay attention to things such as that, Levy is a Libertarian as I recall, he chose a very clever strategy, one he co-opted from Thurgood Marshal’s lawsuits in the 40’s and 50’s, the NRA would never try to make the attempt.

Not that I hold that against the NRA mind you, these other folks can skate around and try different sorts of things, the NRA is goaltender at the Legislative level, if it goes by them, there is nothing the JPFO,GOA,SAF can do if the NRA fails.

No, he didn’t. The facts are he didn’t have the numbers on his side but he didn’t care. The numbers say we would have lost 5-4.

Levy is still on record for supporting firing employees for having guns in their personal vehicles.

The NRA was correct in trying to stop the lawsuit at the time. We were just plain lucky and Levy became a hero.
