I am not sure if they are un-needed, yet at the federal level, when you include the commas, putting them in the correct context a national and natural fight for the 2nd amendment really did not have to happen; nonetheless they were needed to hold off the political class from outright destroying America.
I think the NRA should be the spearhead and assist the state groups, mobilizing mass media campaigns instead of sucking up to this human debris of a ruling class, which believe they are exempt. If the NRA really wanted to do a good job they should also focus on education and advocating within the states. Possibly pulling an ACORN and Planned Abortion Inc tactic and become the Social Bridge for Social Justice regarding a Constitutional Right; which is stated clearly in English. This would be very effective if tried; which is one reason the political class does not want large orgs or business they cannot control, to be able to politically advertise (McCain Feingold) and using multiple censorship mechanisms to prevent a knowledgeable citizenry.
My short list for removal is Pelosi, Reid, McCain, Snow, Stupak, Alexander, Lugar, Kyl, Gregg, Voinovich and any other RINOs which find it advantageous to sell out America, while lining their pockets.
The NRA is part of the ruling class. They exist to collect money to give the illusion of protecting the 2nd amendment.
I’m sorry there are better organizations to belong to who will fight harder. They continue to compromise my rights a little at a time and waste money on RINO’s.
NO Soup for the NRA.
