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.

LOL LOL LOL The NRA was part of Heller.... LOL LOL LOL

Talk about revisionist history.

The NRA tried to scuttle Heller so it would never see the light of day. To suggest otherwise is a lie.

The NRA had nothing to do with McDonald either other than trying to interfere with the case that they did not bring nor fund.

The only succeeded in demanding some of Gura’s oral argument time, using Paul Clement, an anti-2A attorney who worked on Heller decision but on the side of DC. Imagine that, the NRA using the same attorney who advocated against Heller.

The NRA definitely abandoned NJ in the fight against N.J.S.A. 2C:39-1 et seq. back in the early 1990’s.

The lead attorney of COALITION OF NEW JERSEY SPORTSMEN at the time was also prior president of the Coalition, and he railed against the NRA for publicly abandoning the state when only 3 votes needed in the Legislature to halt the passage at the time.

Then the NRA abandoned the legal challenge too.
