Actually, the NRA was being, ummm, “creative.”
By getting the Congressional commies to “carve out” an exemption for the NRA they may have killed the bill from the left!
I went to the NRA website, and just look at the weaselly and deceptive way they describe to us (for now) members that they are withdrawing opposition:
Consequently, congressional leaders announced they would exempt us from its draconian restrictions on political speech. If that happens, we will not be involved in final consideration of this bill in the House.
Those two sentences lets us know that NRA is more than a little slippery in the weasel word dept; and that it thinks its members are incapable of reading.
Me, I'm headed for the exit.
.
I agree. NRA made an educated guess that this carve out would generate outrage and thereby kill the whole thing. AND, display for all to see the complete lack of integrity so many legislators have.
