Thanks Wart, but for me, the real issue is what the hell is the NRA doing waisting time and energy on this when it could only come out bad.

I discontinued my membership to the NRA several years because of their propensity to negotiate and legislate State and Federal "gun privleges" as opposed to litigation on hard core consitutional principles.

Some of the battles they've "won" only serve to enhance the Govt's perceived validity to create unconstitutional laws in the first place.

I don't think either you or they can/could know that "before the fact".

"I discontinued my membership to the NRA several years because of their propensity to negotiate and legislate State and Federal "gun privleges" as opposed to litigation on hard core consitutional principles."

Well, the governing board of the NRA "is" elected by the membership, and they are the ones who set policy. Unfortunately, the folks who wanted to litigate based on "hard core constitutional principles" (which includes me) didn't succeed in electing a majority of board members--so we have no one to blame but ourselves. Who else is there on the pro-RKBA side which remotely approaches the "coult" that the NRA has?? Certainly GOA and/or JPFO don't.
