good. this is the practical reason why we still maintain a membership in the NRA. they have more “boots on the ground” than the orther organizations we support.
still, (my opinion) the NRA is compromised and incorrectly presumes that the *whole constitution* is not necessarily in play to protect our lawful right to self-defense from any threat to our state, home, family or self.
for example, due process and the right of people to be secure in their effects and personal papers (my reading, and i am not a lawyer) invalidates as unconstitional any apriori arms registration or background check requirements from the state. these illegal gun control incroachments should be have been resisted with the same vehemence by the NRA. the whole constitution protects our self-defense right (not just the 2nd amendement which obviously invalidates any attempt to ban weapons). a weakening of any part of the Constitution weakens the whole. i wish the NRA understood that.
Good post.
