When did that happen? There were the only ones here in GA willing to fight against the NRA sponsored background check. The NRA has been pushing trigger lock bills here in GA. The NRA's slime in chief at the state level, Randy Kozuch put the word out two years ago that they wouldn't oppose the anti-gunners mandatory trigger lock bills if schools were allowed (allowed not compelled) to use their irrelevant Eddie Eagle program. Well the schools can use it now if they want. Anyway, the progun legislators found out about it and made such a public stink that the NRA had to back off and denied the whole thing happened.

I understand that there was a big shuffle in the GOA leadership in the last year, with Dennis Fusaro being fired for being too agressively pro-gun (ie he was taking on the NRA on some of their anti-gun legislation) so I guess what you say is likely - sad.

Fusaro was the problem in Michigan.

As for the NRA, chances are the problems you have with them don't come from Fairfax, but your state director. We have Todd Adkins in Michigan, and no such problem here.

As for GOA, they fought the bill openly, said it 'wasn't good enough', lied when they said it wasn't shall issue, called two reps who are longtime friends gun grabbers, and lied when they said they were working on the bill with then senator David Jaye. I know who his staffer was then. He never talked to them.

They also complained about shall issue being registration, but that's irrelavent since all pistols in Michigan are already registered. Personally I think GOA was whining since they are not in the loop in Michigan.
