I hope that they do well. SAF has a much better track record with lawsuits. This should be a slam dunk.

This is a change in strategy for the NRA. For some years now the NRA has avoided courts and has instead been active in state legislatures.

Their premise seems to be that if you fail in a legislative effort, you can come back next year and start off where you left off. If you fail in court you can have case precedence set by some lefty judge that will leave you worse off than you were before.

Some have mistaken this for a lack of support for the 2nd Amendment. I don't really feel that way. If you look at the progression of CCW laws in the last 10 years, the NRA has been spectacularly successful.

This in no way excuses them from the slate of lefty candidates they supported in the midterm elections. Being a single issue organization doesn't explain supporting candidates that don't really support the 2nd Amendment.

So after reading this story how come so many Freepers still view the cops as the good guys. How come many Freepers still vote for Police sales tax extensions and increases. How come many Freepers still vote for property tax increases and extensions to fund their local Police.

The Police as an institution (de facto federalized) all across this country oppose 2nd Amendment freedoms.

De fund your city haul and you weaken the Federal Government. Sounds counter intuitive but with all the matching dollars going into your city hall you have lost control over policy in your village or city. De fund gubment at Federal, State, County, City and you remove the fangs of the beast.

Any policy short of shall issue will allow the kinds of abuses that LEO’s use to deny permits. Sue them all you want. They have already proven nothing will change.
