This is just another thread in a long line of threads posted on FR recently trying to turn people against the NRA. I have been a member since 1954 and I will always be a member. If it wasn’t for the NRA we would have lost all gun rights in this country long ago. GOA maybe ok but anyone who dumps the NRA for the GOA are simply idiots. Join both if you have a problem, but I will never dump the NRA, especially since articles like these rarely pan out(if ever)to be true. This was sure as he** isn’t.
Read my post #17. I am not misrepresenting the observed FACTS regarding this matter, nor are the GCO gun rights activists who were present at the Assembly session, nor the many more who watched it live on the GPB webcast.
Although I doubt that unless you are a GA resident you have any actual knowledge concerning the gun rights issues that were before the GA Assembly or the actions of the NRA lobbyists, you are of course free to believe whatever you want about the matter. But you are sadly mistaken if you think the NRA was lobbying on the same side of the issue as GA gun owners were in Friday's session.
It’s not that I believe the NRA in all matters. It’s because I will never believe the NRA haters for all the crybaby reasons for not joining.
Reasons Freepers won’t join the NRA or have quit:
They send too much mail.-—
While real Second Amendment supporters are getting out their checkbooks.
I didn’t receive my little plastic keychain.-—
I have about two dozen pieces of junk I can send them. I’m tired of dusting them.
I didn’t receive my hat.-—
I have a shopping bag full.
They didn’t support the fight against the machine gun ban of 1934 or the fight against the 1968 gun law.-—
The NRA wasn’t a lobbying group at the time. They were threatened with a loss of their tax status by the dem party leaders. The NRA became a lobbying group with the ILA in 1974.
They didn’t support Heller.-—
Lie. They supported Heller. They tried to stop Parker which we would have lost. They same idiots who hate George Bush forget he gave us Alito and Roberts. We won Heller because of George Bush and not because of Robert Levy who still doesn’t own a gun. The goa is the only gun group to ask for a narrow view on Heller. The goa still hasn’t filed a single lawsuit because of Heller. It’s the Second Amendment Foundation and the NRA.
There is no longer a Morton Grove handgun ban because of the NRA.
