WTF Happened To My 2nd?

In article , says... Back when the NRA was, in your opinion, a "respectable organization" was the membership roster made public to anyone who wanted it? My point was that the NRA membership number they flaunt can't be confirmed. And with their thuggish behavior, they're not to be trusted. Believe as you will. Well, I am not a NRA member and have no compelling reason to become one. However, based on what I've read and heard it seems to me that the modern NRA is a lobbying influence with the goal of obstructing almost *all* efforts that relate to gun control, gun limitations or any other measures that puts federal government control over what they interpret in the 2nd Amendment. I suspect this obstruction is based on the "slippery slope" theory that once a precedence is established, more control becomes easier. I am not sure I totally buy Harry's claim that they are simply a lobbying arm for gun manufacturers. Gun manufacturers may benefit from the NRA activities, for sure and I am sure they support NRA activities, financially and otherwise but I don't believe that is the primary function of the NRA. |
