Without the NRA we would not have any firearms at all except single shots and they would have to be kept at a police station.

That might be, unless you think that the second amendment defends all others, including itself.

Actually the 1968 GCA was Thomas Dodd’s baby, based on the 1938 Nazi weapons act.

From keepandbeararms.com:


NRA Supported the National Firearms Act of 1934

In fact, they've supported gun rights infringements "since...1871."

"The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun control legislation since its very inception in 1871."

—NRA Executive Vice President Franklin L. Orth
NRA's American Rifleman Magazine, March 1968, P. 22

***NRA Supported the National Firearms Act of 1934***

Lets remember that the in origional wording 1934 law would have also banned handguns . The NRA managed to get that removed.

Angel Shamaya is no longer associated with that website.

Isn’t he still in jail for weapons violations?
