"yes there was an issue on the committe vote,release but the bottom line is the NRA did nothing about it had ample opportunity to stop the entire thing and still has ignored it to this day"

Everything in the bill is good for gun owners except the Hughes Amendment which if you watched the youtube video was put in illegally. There was nothing the NRA could do with that. People either had to vote on the whole thing or kill the deal. There was no third way like pull the Hughes amendment out and then vote on it. If this didn't pass, things like transporting your firearms through other states could land you in jail. Instead, you can transport your firearms through any state.

"I work in the industry you just read the NRA propaganda."

I just saw most of the industry recently. They were at the NRA convention in Pittsburgh. Seems to me, they are all supporting the NRA. You must be a schill for the GOA.

Nope you are incorrect by a wide margin, GOA has its place just as the NRA does. Both Organizations have major issues and chase the almight dollar.

Soon an organization will come into exsistance outside of Washington DC with a promise to members the only time it will be in DC is when it is required at the Supreme Court, kinda of like the ACLU for the 2nd Amendment. The NRA will be at the cocktial parties and country clubs wondering what happen..... and with no small amount of disgust fight it.

What you don’t like is industry professionals like me, that run medium sized corporations calling out the NRA when it makes blatant mistakes. I will call out any organization or person when they are screwing up and the NRA is doing such a thing right now and has done on numerous occasions, more so lately. The NRA Business Support Programs are preditory in pricing, most of the industry rejects them. the current NRA=eyewash

There is a whole lot more to this industry than what you saw as a retail consumer at the NRA convention. The NRA in some ways is like a Plantation owner, about 1850 in NC or Virginia having a converstaion about Slavery with a Northerner, a Brit or a Canadian. Yes it may be legal or make some since but you’re kinda barking up the wrong tree with the prevailing winds and even touting some wins in Congress and at the Supreme Court, How did that turn out? I believe the NRA is on a parallel path with a similar end result.

The NRA is slowing losing support with the consumers, and industry folks, like me who see and understand what and where the NRA is selling the 2nd Amend short and keeping the fight alive, kinda like the NAACP and on a sour note atune to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, with Keene getting elected. Keep waving the NRA flag, it is good exercise and it might keep your close neighbor cool on a hot day!
