(trying to get my act together) I have a friend who is a representative in the GA house. I have also called NRA ILA (as I am a long-time member).
The ILA said they had no knowledge of the bill on the several times I called to ask the NRA's position during this process.
I have a friend who is a legislator in the GA House. From his comments, the NRA lobby has helped actively oppose amendments that would exempt firearms from this bill.
I guess I have a quandry - who to believe. A legislator on the floor or the position you represent?
I once shared your opinion that they were nautral. But why are they nautral? Why not help craft better legislation that will protect gun owners?
Maybe the same reason the GOA was told to stay out of the Michigan CCW Bill fight. The one gun group was there so why should the other gun group be there? The NRA took a back seat to the GOA. Isn't that what the GOA has wanted all this time?
And the GOA still asked for help from the members of the NRA. The GOA would do better if they ignored the other gun groups and just fight their own fights.
