Anyone who joins the NRA right now is a friggin' idiot. If there was
ever an organization that had gone awry, this is it. Depending on the
poll, between 70 and 90% of the American people want mandated
background checks on all gun sales and yet the NRA vehemently opposes.

I venture to guess that many members will cancel or allow their
memberships to lapse after this round of stupid lunacy.

-------------------------------------------

It's not the members. 74% of the NRA membership support universal
background checks. The nut case is Wayne LaPierre who happens to get
all the media publicity. BTW ... he's not even the President of the
NRA. He performs the roll of CEO and is the national spokesman and
loud mouth. Problem is he doesn't present membership views ... only
his own.

As often said, "Don't judge a book by it's cover".

I am beyond disgusted with the group of Republicans who refuse to even
hold a simple vote and are threatening to filibuster any gun control
bill. They are claiming that the Democrats might try to sneak in a
couple of amendments that they couldn't support, so therefore no
vote.
Can't they read? If they don't like the bill vote no. But at least
do your jobs and vote.


As you well know, Democrats are sneaky. I support background checks, but not a lot of the bull****
that's in the Maryland approach.

Yes Dems are sneaky. The Republicans just lie outright

You have to remember, Herring is a narrow minded bigot.

I think the goal is to block any legislation that the current

---------------------------------------------

That's not the job they were elected and are paid to do. Vote NO if
you must .... but vote.
All they are doing is protecting their own asses so come election time
they can get re-elected.
I think it's going to backfire on them this time. Even those who are
usually hard to starboard are disgusted.

Hi Harry! Sure hope you had a great weekend. Glad to see you're here sharing your knowledge and
disposition with us.

BTW, there's a great range bag thread you might want to check out.

I wonder why, if the members themselves are overwhelmingly okay with
background checks, that the bigwigs aren't. I'm going to guess that it's
the politicians as usual getting in the way.

-------------------------------------------

I am not a NRA member, so I don't know. I am sure the gun
manufacturers have influence and so do some of the politicians that
represent hard core "red" states. They can defend the right to high
capacity magazines, "assault" type guns, etc., and although I
personally don't see any need for them, I can at least understand their
arguments. But a background check to purchase a gun? That should be
a no-brainer.

I

Should be if you ignore the obvious... but it's been brought up before
here so.....
