While we are talking about what efforts the NRA has supported it might be worth noting they opposed taking the Heller case to the SCOTUS (well to be more precise they opposed Levy a Cato institute senior Fellow and Gura pursing Parker and filed sham litigation in an attempt to have the case consolidated with another case. The NRA also pressed for legislation that would have in effect denied the plaintiffs stadning on mootness grounds and prevented the case from proceeding. Levy has stated the NRA seriously hindered their efforts and nearly derailed the case) the most important gun rights victory we have ever won. Thank God we are not relying on the legal battles the NRA is fighting. Levy did more to assure gun rights in pressing Heller and its progeny than anything else that had been done to that point. It may be the foundation for invalidating any AWB that could be passed.
Girodin, I know you are passionate about your views. It is in your examples. I am not a lawyer, just a blue collar guy. But I know enough about the courts to know you only bring something to the SCOTUS if you believe you can win, as any loss will be used forever as precedent for future cases. Assuming they will even hear the case.
Take a step back and relax. We are all upset about the incident. Calm dialog goes a lot further than emotional rants. Please keep trying to convince people, just keep an open mind.
