The NRA only had to compromise because of forty years of democratic party control.
One can not dispute the Democratic Party's contribution to Gun Control legislation. But at least it is out in the open where you know the battle is on. The Republicans are also very much gun control fanatics. Check out George Bush Sr.'s record. I might remind you that the entire crime bill containing the AWB was dead in committee and only when it's defeat was sure (it would not come to a vote), it was single handedly resurrected on the last day by a Republican, Mr. Bob Dole. We would not even be having this discussion if it were not for him.
My dispute with the NRA is philosophical. They choose to negotiate the rate with which the government illegally removes firearm ownership. If one takes the position that it is inevitable, then this is a justifiable approach. I got tired of supporting piecemeal loss and after many years of the fight and decided that it is time to draw the line and stop negotiating how much we loose this time.
Another position that I dispute is their positioning themselves in the United Nations as a NGO. THe UN uses NGO's to pacify the general population while continueing their moves. Even applying for NGO status acknowleges that they have some kind of authority. I do not acknowlege, nor will I ever submit to the United Nations.

Bullsh!t. You haven't watched the CCW Bills where 100% of the Republican Party voted for gun rights. Who introduced the AWB ban? A dem or Republican. Which party voted the most for it? The dems or the Republicans?
Yes, there are a few RINO's but they are also in states where conservatives can't get elected. Dole is from Kansas which doesn't even have a CCW law.

So don't tell me a bunch of crap when you mentioned a dem president can be a good thing.
