So what you are saying is you remember hearing him say that. Sorry, but unless you have a transcript of the show, that's not documentation, and frankly I don't believe it. I have heard him say the opposite many times during that period, and read it numerous times in official NRA publications. The NRA's position was and is that we oppose any background checks on transfers between private citizens.

I know he said that, the NRA supports background checks on all guns sold at gun shows. My wife watched the same program with me two nights in a row, are you calling her a liar also. Call CNBC Chis Matthews Hardball program and ask for the transscripts. You with your head in the sand probably won't believe the transcripts either. Better yet call NRA Wayne at (703)267-1050 or fax him at (703)267-3989. I said background checks of all guns sold at GUN SHOWS. Don't confuse that with private sales anywhere else. Get a copy of the Dingell Amendment from the House of Representatives, which the NRA supported, it says the same thing. Do your homework, Nowhere in the NRA magazine does it say they are not for background checks for all guns sold at GUN SHOWS. They talk about private sales elsewhere but not at gun shows. They shirt around this issue. Read it very closely. I want the NRA to standup against the Gun show loophole, but they say they don't have the votes so they need to compromise!!! I'm a gun show promoter, I make my living putting on gun shows. Background checks on private sales at gun shows will kill the gun shows. 20,000,000 people attend gun shows in US, 400,000 every weekend, that's more than the Super Bowl and a World Series game EVERY WEEKEND! I wonder why they want to shut us DOWN? Gun Shows are Town Hall Meetings where people with like interest meet and talk about, buy , sale, and trade guns and also talk about POLITICS. That's why they want to shut us down. We are asking every gun show promoter in US to raise their price of admission by one dollar. We can raise $20,000,000 in one year and have the largest and most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. The problem is getting everybody to do it! ONE DOLLAR is what is holding us back!
