How stupid can you possibly be? The goa has NEVER done a single thing on their own. NEVER.

Alright, the GoA was probably a silly one to add. I admire that the stick to their guns, but your money probably won't go so far with them.

The SAF is a good organization but they haven't had the power that the NRA does. The SAF despite their small size has almost as many lawsuits as the NRA.

I understand that the NRA is powerful and far more adept at Washington politics than the other pro-2A organizations. It is therefore very useful. However, the price of that influence seems to be a serious lack of principle.

The Cato Institute with Robert Levy started Parker vs. Washington D.C. before we had Alito and Roberts. If it wasn't for the NRA slowing things done and the case involving Heller, we would have lost. Thank you, NRA. By the way, Robert Levy thanks you too. Anyone even mentioning the goa is brain dead stupid.

The NRA didn't "slow things down". They actively tried their damnedest to force Levy and Gura to abandon the whole thing. And the last time I talked to Bob Levy, he was hardly thanking the NRA.

"... The NRA didn't "slow things down". They actively tried their damnedest to force Levy and Gura to abandon the whole thing."

Be honest now.

Parker vs. DC was already in the DC Circuit Court before Justice Samuel Alito had been confirmed to the US Supreme Court. Don't blame the NRA because they can count.

The fact that DC foolishly appealed the Parker ruling which brought RKBA a victory in DC vs. Heller and McDonald vs. Chicago was something that wouldn't have happened had we got a stroke of luck on the high court.

You can thank George W. Bush for 14th Amendment incorporation of the 2nd Amendment's individual right to keep and bear arms due to his elevation of Alito to the solidly swing the pendulum in our direction.

The NRA had good right to be worried, and so were many of us here on FR who followed Parker from it's beginnings. It was a huge gamble that paid off.
