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.

I think the goal is to block any legislation that the current
administration is pushing. I might be wrong.

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

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.
(notice the boating content?)

It sure is the job they were elected to do. They were elected to represent their constituency
and they are duty bound to use any and all legislative tools available to do that.

Fine. Then you would have no problem when Reid changes the senate
rules. Just keep in mind that the constituency you're talking about is
the gun manufacturer lobby.

The really sad thing is that the greater media is not out in force supporting the Fox
correspondent who is threatened with jail in reporting on the Colorado shooting incident. It
appears that as long as the general media's preferred candidate is holding the presidencey
they are ok with having the rights of their opposition media outlets threatend.

It was in Huff Post. It's getting traction.
