NRA Discourages Board Members From Testifying Against Kagan
Politics Daily ^ | JUne 27, 2010 | Matt Lewis

Posted on 06/28/2010 5:03:01 AM PDT by libstripper

On the eve of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan -- and for the second time in two weeks -- the National Rifle Association (NRA) is under fire from conservatives. According to RedState's Erick Erickson, a prominent conservative blogger, "internal Senate emails confirmed by NRA Board Members show that the National Rifle Association's management team has explicitly and directly told the NRA's board they are prohibited from testifying about second amendment issues" during the Kagan hearings.

Another fine reason why I will never be an NRA member again.

What does the NRA think it is doing? There has to be one person in the organization that is driving this because this is far out of line with rank and file NRA members.

There are other great pro-2nd Amendment groups like Gun Owners of America, Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and the Second Amendment Foundation.

If the NRA can’t stand against a clear gun control justice like Kagan then they are not defending the second ammendment.

The story is fake.

The help does not give orders to the bosses.

The Executive Management takes direction from the Board, not the other way around.

more agitprop and disinformation from Rahm & Co

You could see it coming during the Klinton Years. I still say that GOA and the JFPOFO have more conviction than the NRA.

I am not a life member like libstripper, but I am currently a member with a 2 year agreement.

With the DISCLOSE ACT compromise, the NRA just lost me as re-upping member. And this puts icing on the cake.

Is there another 2nd amendment organization I can join?

WTF is up with the NRA?

Have they been killed off and somehow reborn and separated at birth with that other FAR LEFT LIB LOON OBAMA/DEMO-RAT-SUPPORTING Organization, the AARP?

Me, I'm canceling my Membership with a strong letter of condemnation.

I can understand why folks might not be too happy with the NRA's actions, both past and present. If you cannot bring yourself to contribute to them, there are some other good groups out there: Gunowners of America (703-321-8585), the Second Amendment Foundation (800-426-4302), and JPFO (262-673-9745).

Speaking of JPFO, I just noticed when looking at JPFO's website that they have their ''Gun Control'': Gateway to Tyranny available for sale at $19.95 at this webpage: http://shop.jpfo.org/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=24. This book demonstrates the strong links between Senator Dodd's GCA and the Nazi weapons law. Here's the introduction to the book:

Are you tired of being told that "gun control" is a chronic pain that you have to accept because there's no cure? Do you -- a law abiding person -- want to be free: to own whichever firearms you want to own, regardless of where in America you live; from waiting periods, gun bans, magazine capacity restrictions, etc.; to spend your time on the range or in the field, rather than fighting "gun control"?

Are you tired of giving hard earned bucks to efforts that have at best only slowed the gun grabbers' push toward firearms registration and confiscation? If you have had enough of death by a thousand cuts, you are ready to take action to wipe out "gun control" -- now.

Members of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) consider "gun control" to be an aggressive cancer. JPFO has a cure, a way to destroy "gun control". JPFO has hard evidence that shows that the Nazi Weapons Law (March 18, 1938) is the source of the U.S Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA '68). Adolph Hitler signed the Nazi Weapons Law. The Gestapo (Nazi National Secret Police) enforced it. In "Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny we present the official German text of the Nazi Weapons Law and a side-by-side translation into English. Even more deadly: a side-by-side, section-by-section comparison of the GCA '68 with the Nazi Weapons Law. If you have this in your hands, no one can tell you that you're imagining things.

The clincher: JPFO knows who implanted into American law cancerous ideas from the Nazi Weapons Law.

The likely culprit is a former senator, now deceased. We have documentary proof -- see below -- that he had the original text of the Nazi Weapons Law in his possession 4 months before the bill that became GCA '68 was signed into law.

This former senator was a senior member of the U.S. team that helped to prosecute Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945-46. That is probably where he found out about the Nazi Weapons Law. He may have gotten a copy of it then, or at a later date. We cannot imagine why any U.S. lawmaker would own original texts of Nazi laws. To find out his name, read on.

With this hard evidence in your hands and in your head, you can destroy cancerous "gun control". You can challenge anyone who backs "gun control". You can show them the Nazi ideas, line by line.

The parallels between the Nazi law and GCA '68 will leap at you from the page. For example, law abiding firearm owners in Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey must carry identification cards based on formats from the Nazi Weapons Law. Nazi based laws have no place in America. Thousands of Americans died or were wounded in the war to wipe out the Nazis. They did not suffer or die so that Hitler's ideas could live on in America and kill more Americans. Remember Killeen, Texas! The 23 who died in Luby's Cafeteria there died because they obeyed Nazi inspired "gun control" laws. The law forced them, unarmed, to face an armed madman.

To destroy "gun control" before more law abiding Americans are murdered by criminals or madmen helped by "gun control", you need to get hold of the evidence as presented in "Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny. You can then challenge the media, the most aggressive backers of "gun control". Ask media personalities in your city or town why they back Nazi based laws. You can help to erase "gun control", Hitler's last legacy.

...

(You can find more of this intro as it appeared in "Guns and Ammo" back in 1993 at http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/GCA_68.htm.)
