If you ask me, the NRA is way past its sell-by date. This nonsense of weaseling themselves an exemption to the DISCLOSE Act, while everyone else gets to have their First Amendment speech rights taken away, really takes the cake.
And while I realise that their first and primary interest is in 2nd amendment issues, you'd think that somebody - somebody - at the NRA would have enough sense to realise that other issues besides specific 2nd amendment issues will still have an overall effect on that issue as well. The 2nd amendment doesn't exist in a vacuum.
You nailed it.
In a recent Foxnews piece, they said the NRA endorsed Dem candidates approximately 26% of the time, p from 11% or so several years ago (from memory). These are the same people who voted for obamacare which will LIKELY make firearms a health hazard at some point inthe future. It may not be this year or next, but it’s coming. And the NRA is helping to make this happen.
The NRA should be more like Martin Luther King Jr. Absolutist in insisting for equal rights for blacks. Instead, the NRA continues to do business as normal (classes and such) with states such as CA will willfully disregard the 2A. If they really wanted to defend the 2A, they woul pull out of such states. Can anyone imagine MLK doing business as usual with any of the southern states? Neither can I.
