Yep, that article by Smith needs reposting every time the NRA apologists on this board open their mouths.. I was there in the trenches in '68, and these words of his strike home:

"FIRST, I'd want the NRA not to write any more legislation. It's said the NRA leadership wrote the Gun Control Act of 1968 (before my time, if you'll recall). I know they wrote the Maryland Handgun Ban because they were afraid that something worse was in the works. Fear seems to be their principal motivation, not anger or determination. Invariably it steers them toward a submissive, repulsive "strategy" of doing the enemy's work before he can do it himself."



Thanks for the repost.. I'll bookmark this one.
