"Sorry to bring you back to reality, the NRA did nothing for Heller, in fact they attempted to scuttle the case."

Facts are stubborn things. Here is the Amicus brief that the NRA filed in support of Heller:

Initially the NRA was against this going to the Supreme Court because they thought this would be shot down and therefore set back our second amendment rights. Let's keep in mind when this suit was first contemplated. In 2002. At that time, Sandra Day O'Connor was still sitting on the bench. If it would have been brought while she was still on the bench, there's a good chance it would not have went in our favor.

Yes, there it is as published in the NRA records, but it was filed late and is not part of the court record. Yes, the NRA is correct the brief was filed with the court, however it is not part of the court record.

Search the Supreme Court Records sunshine and you will not find the NRA Amicus in the official record for the Heller case, 9 other Amicus briefs are there, but due to not submitting on time or some other reason, the NRA brief is not in the official record, there for the NRA did not support the Heller case, other than making statement and giving out rather tainted ideas the NRA was a part of the Heller sucess. Do some research other than taking the Party Propaganda as facts..... You may actually learn something....such as the NRA is not the organization it represents its self to be.... Wow is that a surprise to you? Do you still think RINO’s don’t exist? Facts are stubborn things.
