Romney team defends timing of NRA membership

[wooderson]

Maybe he joined to satisfy his CMP club requirement - that's how I finally decided to join the Texas state chapter.

Too bad Mitt and I both seem to have lost out on the remaining Garands.

Uh, the NRA does not meet the club requirement for CMP.

 

[wooderson]

Some state chapters do.

This thread is about Romney becoming a life member in the NRA. That doesn't qualify for anything with CMP. I am not sure what you are even talking about "state chapters" that you can join with respect to the NRA. I have never heard of state chapters that can be joined seperately from the NRA.

Something to consider among this mixed bag people. At least Romney is paying lip service to 2nd Amendment Rights. As opposed to EVERY OTHER Candidate outright opposition to them.

And so did Kerry. . . right before he flew back to DC to vote for the AWB renewal.
So did Clinton. . . before he got elected and signed the AWB
So do the Bradys. . . right before they talk about banning long range (accurate to >100 meters), "quick toggle," sniper rifles with scopes that are even more powerful than what the military uses

EVERY gun grabber pays lip service to the 2nd Amendment. I don't know about you, but lip service doesn't cut it for me. Furthermore, it wont' make me feel any better when the liar I helped get elected, who just signed the next big gun grab, pays lip service to the 2nd Amendment.

I don't want Obama or Clinton to win the general election any more than anyone else here, but I'm not going to pretend that, because they have "R's" next to their names, Guiliani, Romney (both well known gun grabbers), or McCain (who is currently self destructing by flip flopping on just about everything he's ever taken a stance on) will be any better. I refuse to throw away my vote by giving it to the person who wants to take away the fewest of my guns (for now).

Can Anyone be Law-Abiding Any More?

Since there are now so many confusing laws on the books that it is really impossible for any breathing human to be "law abiding", I now prefer the term "peaceable citizens of good will", or something similar depending on context. Now if a politician will affirm the basic human right of self-defense of any "peaceable citizen of good will" using any reasonable tool of self-defense of HIS choice (the citizens' choice) I might start paying attention! (The only acceptable definition of reasonable in "reasonable tool of self-defense" is that said peaceable citizen does not injure the life, liberty, or property of another citizen without just cause, i.e. self defense.)

It will be another "FOR THE LESSER OF THE EVILS" to be absolutely certain.
