This could go down the tubes toot sweet.
Likely to get nasty.
stellarpod,
I cannot count the times the NRA's message has changed a bit to reflect their "newly-enlightened" political/strategic themes.
I've an original American Rifleman magazine herabouts that touts favorably the ideas of the '68 Gun Control Act. Sickening. I've seen much the same in their ratings of politicos time & time again.
They are as astutely political as are their competition. Both "sides" are out for "votes," which equates to political power, money & brute force through the perceived "we can molbilize more" threat.
NRA helped write the GCA '68, they sold out machine gunners in '86 & helped draft the Brady Act .... more.
I've sat in our Colorado Guv's Executive Chamber whilst discussing freedom issues with this Guv'ner - a private meeting. He's The New Best Fave All Time Republican. Wins hands down!
He spouts the political garbage as rote. So does the NRA.
When a dog pisses on a fire hydrant, he isn't commiting vandalism, he's just being a dog.
Get used to it. Learn it & know where these dogs are coming from.
They do it because it is their nature. I'd not subscribe anything evil (necessarily), but they do it nonetheless.
That they do it at all, is contrary to
our interests.
NRA may have made some "pro-freedom-type" conjectures somewhere, but as an elected delegate to CO's 4th Congressional, 49th local (state-level congressional) & State-level caucus for everything else, I'd say I've some inkling to what's been said hereabouts. Besides having my ear to the ground somewhat .....
NRA was totally absent here. & ya know why? 'cause they figured they didn't need it. No monetary expendature, nada.
Yup, we pulled the straight Repub ticket in CO = whoop!
Likely, as huge compromise CCW bill will be issued & vastly Repub-supported for: added training, added restriction reagrds carry locations, added restriction as to everything else where & when. On it goes.
This is the implicit buy-in by our "pro-gunnys."
Within the month, I'll be out tactically tagging mailboxes of those who supported these "pro-gun" yahoos, because this type are the ones that will sell us down the river.
Nothing so sordid, sir, as being personal, but you have much to learn.
