[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

"Like other well-meaning efforts passed by Congress – the Endangered Species and Wilderness Acts, for instance – its provisions will end by destroying basic freedoms along with that which it was meant to save."

ALL, I would submit that the "meaning" behind this legislation is NOT "well", or EVEN good. As in education, "mistakes" made in coordinated stupidity at this level are NOT POSSIBLE!!! What are the chances of a FREEP??? Peace and love, George.

Guys, this could stand a bump. This NRA meeting begins TODAY. And their support of CARA is unfathomable. Peace and love, George.

Since this arose a couple months ago I have emailed NRA HQ at least 3 times. NRA is like a battleship. Takes time to turn. Turn it will-if enough members let them know. Does little good to get pissed and toss in the towel. Even Neil Knox warned people NOT to do that.

The NRA is a democratic institution. Any Life member can run for the Board. Sure, a noboby like me would have little chance, but I could still try. Anyone out there that belongs to NRA should let them know how you feel about this CARA thing! NOW!!!

Bump from a rural landowner (surrounded by fed property!)

If not too late, be sure to email your state NRA affiliate. They need to know that the common folk are firmly against this hideous piece of legislation. The NRA has done many things that I disagree with over the years, but never stooped to the level of prostituting themselves to the greens for a few federal pork dollars.

In case you are wondering, Ms. Lamson does read her email. I was shocked when she responded to mine. I doubt she ever will again. I rattled her cage pretty hard.

One major error here: Wayne LaPierre and James Jay Baker are NOT NRA Board members. Board members are elected by the membership, while LaPierre and Baker are "Presidents for Life" ala Idi Amin.
While LaPierre and Baker have done and said many good things for the cause of Firearms Freedom, some accountability MUST be introduced into their positions.

thx for the ping, George.

I wrote a letter to Senator Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) about this and was shocked to get a letter back explaining that this was part of the pork he was bringing back to Ohio, billions of dollars for Ohio...

Thanks for the info, George. I called NRA-ILA today and told them to drop CARA or me. (life member) HEY NRA MEMBERS -- CALL NRA-ILA 1-800-392-8683 ....and tell them you like your property rights unmolested.

George -- Here is another thread with some additional info. This must be stopped.

Abundy -- I received an identically worded letter, signed by 'Catherine A. Haggett, NRA-ILA Grassroots Division'. Her point that the NRA has supported this since 1998 with no opposition is wrong, as I went on record having opposed it as did lots of other folk. I suspect that then the mutterings of us few were not enough for them to respond to.

A question -- if the NRA Board passes on the support of this bill, do the Members have any legal recourse to force a vote be taken of the voting membership outside of the normal procedures for the next Annual Meeting? Thanks in advance.

Please excuse my bumping the KlamathBasinList, but this is as important to you as to the NRA Grassroots membership. It is an attack on the constitution, as grievous as the ESA, and will be another nail in the coffin where our rights and liberties will be buried.

Be well, FRiends.

Thanks for posting this, George.

PLEASE, Everyone! Contact your representatives on this and the NRA!

[Mercuria]

Thank you, GEORGE...Belles 'n' Beaux BUMP!!!

My NRA membership expired a few months ago. This is the reason I have yet to renew it.
