The NRA didn’t support the bill, they agreed not to fight it on the final floor vote if they were specifically exepted. As a single issue group it makes sense. There was no guarantee if they fought it would lose, and if they didn’t there was no guarantee it would pass. And if it passed they would have to live under it hoping it would be overturned. Having gone down that road with McCain-Feingold they chose to ensure they could operate whether it won or not.
Regardless of whether you agree with it, the NRA is still the only effective force defending our gun rights. It’s incredibly short-sighted to write them off over the decision. The NRA is however a democratic organization. If you care that much, you would be better off organizing to elect board memebers who agree with your point of view, instead of taking your ball and leaving.
You make sound points. And maybe I was reacting to some of the headlines about the NRA negotiating backroom deals with dems. Membership isn't up until November and now that I have been settled down, will renew with no second thought.
The marine will listen to reason. And thanks for posting to my rant. Semper Fi!
