Big Win for the NRA!!!

[SCI]

SCI's friends at the NRA scored a big win today here in Washington.

Yet another perfect example for why all gun owners and sportsmen need to be a member of the NRA.

Awesome, so glad to see this.

  I hope it holds up under appeal. We have a pretty liberal SC.

Even though we have Trump as president there are strong forces within many states and cities (Washington especially) trying to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights. Even if it survives a higher court challenge, they will be back next year with renewed vigor to ban guns. Join the NRA and/or SAF today, they are our best defense!

Awesome news ! Was a bit worried about this one

It's nice that the NRA managed to take a break from hounding it's members for cash and funneling Russian money into the republican party to actually do its job.

NRA - A bar so low you could trip over it. Send money.

Good for sure, but likely not permanent.  Unless I am reading it wrong, they would simply have to increase the font and add the strikethoughs to have it comply and get on the next ballot?

You sound like a disgruntled supporter of 1639. No surprise there.

[KFhunter]

No, he's a mooch.   


He supports 2A, but the party line doesn't.  He can't support NRA because they support deplorables.


Trump puts money in his pocket, gives him a job, NRA let's him keep his guns, yet he looks down his nose at those that fight (give money) on his behalf.

Not at all. I don't mind the age limit of semi-auto rifles being raised to 21, but I think the safe storage law was totally punitive and unconstitutional.

It's almost like a person doesn't have to pick Team A or Team B and agree with everything the tribe elders say. Weird concept.

He "supports" 2A, but the party line doesn't.  He can't support NRA because they support deplorables.

I am not at all convinced of the "support," when it amounts bemoaning the NRA, and "hey, guys. We've gotta give my lefty buddies something on gun control, so that they know we're serious.," in response to the Parkland shooting, for which LE and big government failures were legion and no further restrictions other than utopian complete bans would have prevented the shooting.

I'd rather be stabbed in the front, thank you.

So constitutional rights are not rights at all and can be destroyed at the whims of a frothing mob?

That IS a weird concept.

That's a gross oversimplification of "constitutional rights" and the 2nd Amendment.    

Bonus points though for characterizing anyone with a different opinion as part of the "frothing mob."  Does it ever get tiring to constantly communicate in such a degrading manner?

I suppose you could answer that.  Frothing mob was an allusion to tyranny of the majority, by which rights of a minority are stripped by the majority in a pure democracy, kind of like what is proposed by stripping 18-21 year olds of their 2A rights, which is hardly an oversimplification.

It was not directed to anyone in particular, and it was not made for the purpose of denigrating an ideological opponent.

You brought that with you, and you should bear that burden.

Is this correct?
