The NRA Wants You To Contact Congress And Tell Them No New Gun Control

NRA:
Even as the nation was grieving the terrible loss of life in Parkland, Fla., gun control activists were doing what they do best: exploiting tragedy to advance their political agenda. Gun control activists are pushing a message that you are to blame for the criminal violence that took place last month. They’re attempting to capitalize on this tragedy to convince members of Congress to vote for their gun control wish list.
Proposals to ban the most popular rifles in America, arbitrarily limit magazine capacity, require a waiting period on all firearm sales, and restrict the right of law-abiding young adults to acquire rifles and shotguns have been suggested as “solutions” by those who wish to curtail the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Legislation encompassing these proposals could be voted on in the U.S. Congress in the coming weeks. That’s why it’s imperative that you contact your members of Congress and state lawmakers today and ask them to oppose all gun control schemes that would only impact law-abiding gun owners.
Hey, wasn’t it the NRA who went on record saying that bump stocks should be banned, or at least an NFA item? Yea, it sure was.
It’s almost like the NRA is stirring up trouble in Congress trying to get them to do things against the wishes of the gun community in order to get the gun community to donate dollars to try to fight what they’ve stirred up. If you can get it, that’s a sweet gig.

To believe that the NRA is a champion of American’s gun rights is to believe that the American Cancer Society is genuinely interested in finding a cure for cancer.

Far worse than that, Nicholas. To believe that any politician or bureaucrat is the least interested in restoring natural rights or anything except ever increasing control of other people… is plain crazy. Does anyone truly think that writing or calling them will change their minds?
The desire/lust to control the lives and property of others is the root of all evil. All non-voluntary government is built on that desire/lust. They use everything possible to further that goal. And the only way to stop it is to stop expecting anything else, stop cooperating, and stop feeding them.

How much does Wayne LaPierre make a year now? according to Wiki –
$5,051,249 in 2015.
It’s clearly to his benefit to keep the battle going instead of winning the war.

BUT!
This paragraph is in the email form:
“Doing nothing is not an option, but doing something that won’t fix the problem and blames law-abiding gun owners shouldn’t be an option either. Please support and focus on legislation to protect our schools and our school communities, as well as fix our broken mental health system.”
So, we have to ‘do something’ dear Fudd, and government psychiatrists will save us. The NRA is lame. I Always write my own letters.
Let me fix this paragraph for the NRA:
“END GUN FREE KILL ZONES. Reverse all gun control laws currently on the books. Self defense is civil right by law and a natural right of God Almighty. You are in violation of your oath of office, your covenant with the American people, but even worse, you are in violation of your covenant with our Holy Creator. Your gun control schemes are going to start a civil war. That will be your legacy.”
There. I think I’ll go send this along now. NRA are ‘seat at the table of power’ Fudds, and crumb eating closet leftists bowing to their gubmint masters.

…and to “gun control”.

I’ll Say it Again, ‘NRA’ is Controlled Opposition- Not Interested in standing up and saying that the “Shall Not be Infringed” language in the Constitution means NO LAWS REGARDING WEAPONS ARE CONSTITUTIONAL!!!
Until/unless they take that Stand, they are just another ‘Swamp Creature’.

I just took out a life membership for Gun Owners of America (GOA). My membership with NRA is a waste of money.
