I'm not saying that I support this as a strategy, but this is how the NRA has conducted itself for quite a while.

The NRA seems to prefer the legislative route over the court route. The reason is that if you fail to get a bill through Congress you simply regroup and try again. If you go to court and lose that decision becomes precedence. That is a very risky gamble.

The NRA didn't initially support the Heller case for the same reason. There was a lot of anxiety that the Supreme Court wouldn't find in our favor. Now obviously that case was a huge win for our side, but at a great risk.

Just something to think about.
