Don't ever change, NRA

It always feels like you have our backs.




How's this for an idea: before a bump stock ban based on its supposed use in the Las Vegas shooting, how about releasing the results of the investigation into the Las Vegas shooting?  We haven't heard anything about it.  Maybe I'm just suspicious of new gun laws and regulations based on vague handwaving, but we've had quite a lot of that before.

And the NRA's silence on this is pretty telling.  You'd think they could negotiate something in return, but they never seem to do it.

I've always felt Vegas was a deep state affair with the shooter groomed and set up for the fall.

Maybe besides having Obama as their top salesman, they also learned to draw 'lines in the sand' over issues from him.

Good job, NRA, good job.

My first thought would be "Thanks again for nothing, NRA."

But then, I don't own a bump stock, and I'm not too familiar with the process to acquire one. Does a potential purchaser have to register to buy one? Is there a waiting period? A national registry?

If the answers to these (and probably other questions,) is no, do these imbecilic morons honestly expect people to turn them in on the Good Citizen principal?

A year or two from now, when this has wound its way through the courts and the notoriously Conservative Supremes decide it violates the Second Amendment, just how will the NRA respond when We, the People, point out how, once again, they've decided to "go along to get along."

Maybe this year NRA members might consider sending their dues monies to a more deserving organization.

Good points there...

I'd like to see a regime change in the NRA. A clean sweep of all those "deep state" clowns that have infested it for so many years. I'm a life member. But, just like voting for the GOPe, nothing changes. I want to see some action, not their typical tepid, head in the sand routine. The main problem seems to be "the Iron Law of Bureaucracy" took over years ago, and now they are just in it for the money, which is why they don't really fight against gun control. Doing that, and winning, might cut into their pocketbook.

The NRA's silence on a great many topics (including black good guys with guns getting shot by police) is damning.
