Default Re: NO gun confiscation

The NRA has been warning about this slippery slope for the better half of a century.

We reap what we sow.

The nra for years was a sell out appeasing anti-rights organization that let terms like "sporting use" into the debate. One of the reasons rights have been eroded was that the biggest and richest gun lobby was wimpy. The NRA now sees that individual gun rights are important and not just so some people can go shoot a bunny or a bambi. But they were too late. Where were they in the '30's with the awful class III legislation? Where were they in 1968? Why is it that entire populations in major states are disarmed now? I have belonged in the past and might re-join, because I do think they do some good. but there are better pro-gun lobbies, at least as far as having a consistent philosophy. The NRA is a nice safe moderate group with a lot of members and money.
