Calling the thing as one sees it, the observation is correct, as we have heard the same from anti gunnetrs for years and years, yet some in the gun rights community seemingly fail to grasp this very basic fact.

This is not to say that any particular bill is without value to our side, rather I would note that proposals must be examined most carefully. The fact that the NRA has "signed off" on something is no guarantee of anything. Ditto for the fact that some other organization (GOA here) might oppose a particular proposal.

"The NRA-ILA and the NRA's Winning Team is fighting a war of stalemate, to simply keep what we have."

The facts do not support your assertion. For example, how does your statement account for the spread of shall-issue carry permits across the country? That's no stalemate by anybody's definition and it blows a hole in your statement big enough to drive a semi through.

The NICS bill is another step forward. Not backward, not sideways, but forward. Is it two giant leaps forward? Maybe not, but it's certainly progress that can be built upon.


"ANY TIME McCarthy, Schumer or the Brady Bunch announce a law as a victory for their side it's bad for us , PERIOD!!!"

Um, they lied. It wasn't a victory for them, so they lied. You actually believed them? After all the falsehoods they've told over the years, you actually believed them on this?

So even if the Congress were to pass a law that gives every man, woman, and child free guns and ammunition for life, all that McCarthy, Schumer, or the Brady Campaign need do to make you think it's bad is to proclaim it a victory.

I didn't know that there are people so thoroughly under their control.

Hey, GOA has a great racket going. If I could get a few hundred thousand people to send me money so I could then send them e-mails telling how "tough" I was, I'd retire tomorrow. Of course, their e-mails always seem to ask for more money. Espousing "no compromise" as a puritan trait, they even make people feel good about doing it.

Are they driving a wedge among our ranks? Certainly. Do they care? Obviously not.

Kind of makes you wonder, does it not?

I have read the bill and it seems good (hey they put a system in place so you can appeal) but for some reason doesnt this seem to be like: FOPA's 922o?

Nope.
