There are some NRA members on here that are PO’ed that others of us in the gun community aren’t towing the NRA line that this is a good bill. All they do is put our organizations down for bucking the NRA on this. If we hadn’t, a lot of people wouldn’t have found out how absolutely disastrous this bill really is.

I never liked the NICS system, and I think this "improvement" is not likely to be anything of the sort.

I would like instead to see the entire 1968 GCA struck down as an unconscionable infringement of the Second Amendment. I think that truly would be the greatest day for American liberty since the founding of the Republic.

Who said “it’s a good thing”.

Because my next mission will be to tear down the NRA!

Since Charleston Heston hasn’t been able to run it, it’s been run over by a bunch of liberal policy wonks!

We’ve had guns in this house and raised 5 boys. Not once did any of them touch them. You teach them respect for them, and how to use them. They learn to fear them, because to not to, to have a bravado about them, gets people killed.

I was raised around guns my whole life, as were all my cousins. Not one person ever had a hunting accident. Because there was always an adult with the child. Even until they became 19.

They took safety courses, and knew you did it right or paid a price. Discipline was used if you didn’t. Good ole fashioned discipline. No one was beaten, but they knew it might be used on them if they did something dangerous, or disrespectful.

You know what happened? They respected the adults, listened to them, and had a great time. All the while learning common sense.

The same lessons served them well in school too.

You didn’t talk back to a teacher, you were there to learn.

They all had great grades, and our little grandson has straight “A”s in school now. He’s on his way to be an Eagle Scout like his grandfather before him too. And his older cousin!

So just let the NRA, who used to make sense and advocate for our second amendment try to say something stupid about this bill, HR 2640, section 102 (1)©(iv). They’ve been smoking whacky tobaccy if they think this one should pass.

We know at least 300 people who will resign from their organization. It helps to have been an Aviation Battalion Commanders wife. We loved those people, and have stayed in tough with them. Then there’s flying with another large organization for many many years. MANY of them hunters and NRA members too.

We know people all over the United States, and then they know people all over the United States.

I’m NOT sitting idle on this one, not at all!

Not after seeing how they snuck the House vote in on it like a thief in the night! Time to counter attack, FAST!~~
