I know it's cool and popular around here to hate on the NRA for actually having some semblance of a method of lobbying to achieve their goals (read: political savvy), but perhaps one should research before spouting off:
Here's the complaint. Plaintiffs:
JEFFREY M. MULLER; DANIEL J. PISZCZATOSKI; : JOHN M. DRAKE; GREGORY C. GALLAHER; : LENNY S. SALERNO; FINLEY FENTON; : SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION, INC.; and : ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY RIFLE & PISTOL : CLUBS, INC.
Website for Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, Inc says at the top, "The Official NRA State Association."
So no, the NRA hasn't "abandoned" the state of New Jersey. In fact, this is in addition to the lawsuit they filed in January against New Jersey's one handgun a month law. Still think NRA abandoned NJ?
Still think NRA abandoned NJ?
Yes. They gun club and the NRA are two separate corporate entities with different leadership.
The club belongs to the NRA association just as many private individuals in the state. Does not mean that the members call the shots. Plus their is the other issue of funding these lawsuits which has been soley done without NRA resources.
Heller and Chicago victories were paid for by private money.
