The 1934 and 1968 bills were passed in a different era. The NRA was not really a political organization then. None of the people who ran it then are even alive today. We did support Project Exile, which was about prosecuting people caught actually using guns in crimes. So do the vast majority of gun owners. You claim we are “all in on bump stock legislation” and “red flag” laws; where’s your evidence? You have none. The NRA picks these laws apart in detail to show how impractical they are, which you mischaracterize as “compromise”. Again name any gun control law passed in the last 50 years that the NRA supported. You can’t. All you do is whine about the one organization that is effective in stopping the gun grabbers, and try to get divert donations to groups that have no clout. There’s a reason the left weaponizes government to go after the NRA, and why they don’t worry about the GOA.

Wait, what? It’s OK that the NRA was a proponent of all the laws I listed because somehow or another that was “a different era?” Is it OK with you that the NRA has not tried to repeal any of this odious legislation in the decades since? It’s not OK with me.

How about all the recent NRA capitulation on bump stocks? They actually asked the BATF to regulate them (not that I’m a bump stock fan, it’s the principle I object to). You asked for specifics, there it is. What about their rolling over on these new “red flag” laws? I view that as the worst thing to happen to our gun rights in my lifetime? Have you somehow rationalized their poor advocacy somehow? I haven’t.

And I’m “whining” when I point out that the NRA keeps capitulating? Give me a break. I want my money back from my lifetime NRA membership.
