NRA misleading members about gun bill(Grassroots better informed)
examiner.com ^ | 26 March 2013 | Ed Stone

The NRA apparently does not want its members to know what is in a gun related bill pending before the General Assembly. SB 101 was amended to do the following things.

The NRA apparently does not want its members to know what is in a gun related bill pending before the General Assembly. SB 101 was amended to do the following things.

Campus carry on public colleges, except dorms and athletic events;

Campus carry on private colleges if the president adopts a policy permitting it;

Government building carry where there is no security screening or courthouse (and permitting a way to avoid arrest once you see security screening);

Church carry if the church permits carry; Removal of fingerprints at renewal time (saves time and $45);

Broader preemption both as to governing entities (boards, agencies, housing authorities) and weapons (everything in the broad school definition);

Changing the general right to "forbid" firearms on private property to a restatement of criminal trespass; 18-20 carry for honorably discharged vets;

Some level of school security enhancements by personnel already at schools;

Express statutory ban on centralized Georgia weapons carry license databases;

Airport carry trying to make the state prove intent to bypass the metal detectors;

and Clarifying that the unsecured area of an airport is not a government building or otherwise off limits.

The author seems a little harsh on the NRA. Local groups do these things much better. The NRA may be dropping the ball here, but I doubt that it is a policy decision by upper management.

yep, the illinoiscarry group has an NRA guy named Todd who I think is doing a fabulous job keeping us all in the loop. But the guys at IC are over-the-top engaged in the fight. So realistically, it might not be good PR if they covered absolutely every thing all the time in those email broadcasts. People who are supportive of the 2A cause in general but not following it closely (probably most folks on the email list) can get bogged down in too much detail.

I can’t understand this article. Is the NRA for or against these amendments? What is the problem?

Pisspoor written article. Would actually like to know, in the beginning of it, what f*cking state it is about.

I hate amateur writers. Don’t know the first thing about real writing.

Always taught that the first paragraph is the most important one. If it is good, the reader looks at the rest.

If it is crap, the reader leaves.
