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.

Actually I asked for evidence. Show me where that was their position, not just your mischaracterization of it. Show me an official statement where the NRA has endorsed a “red flag” law, or a bump stock ban. You saying so doesn’t make it true.

The fact is the NRA has killed hundreds of gun control bills, the GOA has done squat but fundraise. Your saying they never met a gun control bill they weren’t ready to compromise on is a blatant lie.

You seem to not realize that the NRA is a grass roots organization that is made up of people elected by their six million members. If you don’t like their positions elect new board members. Personally I’m pretty good with people like Ted Nugent and Ollie North, and I care a lot more about what is actually accomplished than hypothetical positions on repeals that are politically not going to happen anytime soon. Support whoever you want, but I’m not going let lies about the NRA go unchallenged.

Like I said, the left tells you who they fear, and it isn’t the hapless GOA.
