NRA's involvement in fighting the magazine ban?

[drumvudu]

Hey guys,I was in Texas working when the magazine limit went into affect here in Colorado. I was wondering if someone that truly knows and is not just speculating could tell me how much the NRA did to try to fight the magazine limit laws that went into affect here a few years ago. Any history or updates on the subject would be great as well. Thanks!

Made no difference, the D's had their mind made up prior to any public feed back. There's who knows how many forum members who attended and were blatantly ignored by legislators. main reason why 3 of them lost their seats through recalls.

Yet the NRA was engaged and did what they could. We got ignored and.steamrolled.

As mentioned, Bloomberg had bought enough Democrat legislators and Hickenlooper that there was no opportunity for a "fight". The hearings were packed with opponents of the bills who were ignored. The NRA and State affiliate did their best to inform and organize against it to no avail. The best we could do, based on the offensively stupid comment of one legislator, was get the University of Colorado carry ban bill dropped.

The actual recall efforts were more grass roots - and that was a great strength of them. The initial signature drives and recall campaigns were each locally organized with small money donations by NRA and other groups. Made it harder for the three targeted Democrats to claim it was the NRA trying to get them out.

Considering EVERY sheriff in Colorado opposed it and they were ignored...the NRA and the citizens stood no chance of getting heard.

That's a good question too - is the NRA involved in the ongoing fight to get the ban repealed? I'm sure they get a lot of money from Colorado.

The NRA that gets the money is the membership side. The NRA-ILA is who any $$ should be going to, them and the CSSA

This.
The only way to get the NRA involved in the fight here is to give the ILA $, and make sure to write to them to tell them that the fight here in CO isn't finished. They fully support every effort, not just at the national level.

I've been getting notifications of the pro-2A legislation from the NRA, as futile as they were. The NRA is not ignoring us.

I'd like to know what the NRA has actually ever done that's important. They remind me of the GOP. A lot of soapbox grandstanding, and yet we keep slipping into a democrat's wet dream. Am I just jaded, ignorant of their successes, and can be corrected on this view of the NRA? It's the primary reason I have refused to join their organization -- I don't see the point. Are they just a backstop to slow the slide?
