The news that Senator Warner and other Republicans are poised to support the so-called 'Assault Weapons Ban' serves to bolster the claim by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners that the NRA is in silent compicity to passage of the ban. RMGO reports that the NRA is so dead set on passing the gun makers protection act, that they have given their silent blessing to amendments on the bill that will not only extend the Clinton Gun Ban, but also wipe out gun shows. It seems too over the top, but then again the NRA did support the original ban.
When I said I quit the NRA because they were too liberal, I wasn't kidding.
THe NRA supported the original ban? Heck, i thought it was the only gun control legislation they didn't support.
Posted by: SayUncle at February 24, 2004 11:30 PMI thought by now that it was obvious, the NRA has no interest in protectiing the rights of gun owners. They are too busy looking out for gun manufacturers (after all that is who supplies most of their funding). They would sell gun owners down the river as long as it didn't hurt the suits at S&W, etc.
Posted by: Jeffro at February 25, 2004 12:30 AMIf the protection act passes with an AWB renewal amendment, the NRA will cease to get ANY support from me ever again.
And that's a shame, because they're about the only organization doing anything real to protect shooting ranges and to support nationwide the shooting sports.
But if they "compromise" here, fuck 'em.
