NRA Statement On Second Amendment Sanctuaries

NRA.
As the Nation’s oldest civil rights organization, we recognize civic engagement as a virtue not a vice. Liberty is reliant upon the participation of free people, and this includes the vast number of citizens and communities who are lawfully exercising their rights under the First Amendment to defend their freedoms under the Second. It is the tyrannical nature of politicians that triggers sanctuary, not the other way around. The NRA has steadfastly defended freedom for nearly 150 years, and we have no intention of suppressing virtuous voices against governmental oppression—censoring is what our opponents do.
I had not run across this before, likely due to the fact that it says nothing.
Can you imagine a more tepid, frightened, worthless statement by anyone on 2A sanctuaries?
Perhaps if they had made a stronger statement, Wayne would have to leave his Dallas mansion and come to Virginia and be a part of the movement. He might not get to use his perks if he actually had to do something like this.
And notice carefully how no one in the MSM has been able to say that this is some sort of NRA-led rebellion, because clearly it isn’t. They’re sticking their finger in the wind to see how all of this settles out. If it succeeds, they’ll try to take credit for it.

Yes, the NRA has its failings. Wayne La Pierre is not a very gutsy guy for sure. But leadership – ALL leaders – in politics, in companies – anywhere, except perhaps the military, are leaders worth north than a stinky yellow turd.
That being said, THE NRA does do some 2nd A protection. But it’s up to US. All NRA members should convene in VA, and defend their members there. The VA governor is a traitor. We should be able to hang him.

It’s best that the NRA stand clear. It makes too convenient of a target for the Left media.

No, the NRA should NOT “stand clear”. They should stand up on their hind legs for once and support VCDL and others loudly and clearly.
To hell with the “Left media” let them say what they will. They matter not.

The NRA is the government.

Fuck the NRA.
They have done NOTHING to restore our gun rights. All they do is compromise.
