The NRA has long been A-OK with the ban on new MGs, why is everyone shocked they backed a ban on something that was circumventing that ban?
Where have y'all been?
They. Are. Fine. With. The. NFA.
They don't want it changed to loosen restrictions. Not for machine guns, not for short barreled rifles, not for short barreled shotguns, not for suppressors.
They have made no secret about it and have been more than willing to tell the people who were clamoring for getting things like SBR's taken off the NFA list to get the fuck back in our lanes.
If you're staring at an arm-brace on your AR or AK "pistol" prepare to be next, because this gets around the SBR portion of the NFA like bumpstocks got around MG's.
Likewise, do you have a Mossberg or Remington
And we're on our own. The largest NFA advocacy group is definitely of the "go be poor somewhere else" variety and actively works to maintain exclusivity of ownership.
The NRA is also totally willing to abandon your state and any attempt to advance gun rights on the grounds that you've got it better than some place that's much worse and has no chance of being changed. They will then lie about what their sole representative did while we were watching them do it.
The only way to change them is to join them and vote for the board. My life membership is paid up next month, and I've been a member long enough now to have been voting for those changes.
I agree - despite the NRA talking about how much they do, they don't actually do much of interest or relevance to me and won't defend what is important to me.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd Amendment Organization, for all their bitching about the NRA, just told all the New Jersey gun owners to shut up and comply with the Law over 'high capacity magazines' because 'It's the LAW, bitches.'
ReplyDeleteIs there any pro 2nd Amendment group out there at the national level, or are they all gutless weasels begging for money?
They're mostly self aggrandizing curs. The NRA's main role is really to take fire from the antis, not to actually do anything.
DeleteThat frees up The Second Amendment Foundation to get the cases to court. SAF doesn't take fire like the NRA does. But the SAF will tell you to obey the law unless you're willing to be the test case that they may or may not be able to help you with.
So far I haven't seen any results out of Gunowners of America. I like how they posture, but they don't seem to actually do anything at all.
