I talked with people at my gun club. Most will not renew their NRA memberships unless the NRA comes out FORCEFULLY against Sotomayor. The NRA is becoming a RINO organization.
There’s always Gun Owners of America.
—displaying their stupidity—how much good does “forcefully” do when she will be confirmed abut 75-25?
Your gun club needs to start thinking more.
The NRA has a reservoir of goodwill they can use to fight for gun rights. Every action they take uses up some of that goodwill. They need to save their efforts for a fight we can win. If they fight Sotomayor and lose, they are permanently weakened.
The smart thing to do is to realize that Sotomayor does not change the balance of the Heller court. Therefore we focus our efforts on incorporation and get that one under our belt before Obama has a chance to change the balance of the court.
Once we have incorporation and Heller, the Supremes are not going to reverse themselves for at least half a century, if then.
I seriously doubt you talked to real NRA members. You probably talked to one of those who thinks his mailbox was lined with a minefield becuase he complains of a few letters.
