Monkeyleg: As for the NRA not focusing on repealing the full-auto provisions of the FOPA of 1986, or the GCA of 1934, I'm upset as well. I'm also upset that the NRA hasn't found a cure for cancer yet or even a cure for the common cold.
With optimism and backbone like that, who the hell needs Sarah Brady or Ms. Feinstein?
Ya know, those people who say that americans especially gun owners have been conditioned to accept tyranny step by step, calling each new step "normal" are just d-e-a-d wrong, we don't have people like that!
So NRA doing what it claims to do (protecting 2nd amendment)
beerslurpy: The NRA's goal is to shift society in the direction we want, not to push for specific legislative goals. The problem isnt that the NRA doesnt want to repeal the NFA and GCA, its that society as a whole isnt ready for that. So the NRA doesnt even raise the issue.
Did I wander into the bizarro THR?
Of COURSE the NRA pushes for "specific" legislative goals, what are you on
? Talk about having it 180 degress backwards. So you're saying that when "society is ready"
THEN it's ok to expect the NRA to push for repeal of NFA and GCA 68? Oooooo kayyyyy. And just when do you expect
THAT to happen? If you're waiting for society's permission before you expect the NRA to do the right thing, then you're in for one helluva wait!
AND, if, in some distant fantasy future, society somehow becomes "ready" for the repeal of NFA & GCA, (thus taking away yours and NRA's lame ass excuse), how will it get there? Wishful thinking? Hoping? Waiting? Or will it happen by getting excuse makers off their hind end? I think you know the answer
.
Didn't it ever occur to you that JUST maybe the reason the NRA "doesn't even raise the issue" is because it's the path of least resistance?
