Oh, gee. You don't think the GOA is trying to put themselves in a better light than the NRA?

I'll start paying attention to the GOA when they can tell me what they do instead of worrying about the NRA.

Fact: The official stance of the NRA is they are against mandatory safety systems whether it's safes or trigger locks.

How does that reconcile with the fact that they have "no position" on proposed legislation requiring people to keep their guns locked up? What they say in their propaganda materials to members and prospective members matters a good deal less than what they say (or fail to say) in courts and legislatures.

Of course they are. And quite successfully too.

I guess you missed the action item list at the bottom of the alert huh? I guess you missed the fact that this e-mail alert came from CSG (GOA affiliate).

The official stance of the NRA is they are against mandatory safety systems whether it's safes or trigger locks.

Then it's time they started practicing what they preach. The thing that turned me against the NRA was they said one thing officially to their members and turned around and did something quite different when it comes to legislate stuff. Still doing it near as I can tell.

You don't want to admit it, but I guarantee if the NRA had said that they would support the Massey amendment and were against HB197 it would have helped kill this mess. I suspect that the fix is in, and the NRA is going to sit this one out. Of course if it's defeated they'll be there to take the credit with their members.
