First They Came for the NRA
The Stream ^ | John Zmirak

Posted on 08/06/2020 8:42:16 PM PDT by KierkegaardMAN

Do you remember when state attorneys general learned about Planned Parenthood selling baby parts for profit, in violation of multiple laws? So a coordinated group of big-state AGs filed suit to dissolve the organization?

Or that time when the FBI, learning of various mosques’ links to the terror-funding Muslim Brotherhood, sought to close those mosques?

Or when the U.S. Attorney General responded to bishops shuffling pedophile priests by suing to dissolve the Catholic Church in America?

A Bizarre, Political Prosecution No, of course not. Because such things never happened. Nor should they. It’s not normal for prosecutors to react that way. If the state finds legal irregularities on the part of a private organization’s leaders, its job is clear. It’s supposed to protect the organization’s members, just as the SEC protects stockholders from CEOs who steal from the company.

Imagine that your Methodist or Southern Baptist pastor got accused of using your tithe money for trips to Nevada brothels. Would you expect your district attorney to try to dissolve your church? Is that a fair response?

The left seems intent on setting off a shooting war. They should be careful what they wish for.

Anyone reading this needs to join the NRA. We need a strong NRA more than ever. It’s no longer good enough to just win this legal battle that’s a given. This is not a legitimate case and after the NRA wins they should seek to have this prosecutor disbarred and spend millions doing so if that’s what it takes.

Not the first time. The media has been after the NRA since JFK was murdered by a Communist in 1963, and RFK murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant in 1968.

"First they came for the bump stocks and the NRA said nothing."

Contrary to the flood of disinformation from the left about that and many other issues, the NRA did work against the bump stock ban. It's mentioned here.

Wayne and Ollie got into a cat fight over which pig would get the most slop snd exposed their shenanigans, giving the AG the rope to hang the NRA with.
