    Default Anyone else see the RMGO post on FB about the NRA being a sell out?

    Here is the context if you didn't:

    Rocky Mountain Gun Owners - Official Page



    The NRA is preparing to sell gun owners out! Read this story. Despite their public rhetoric, they're working back-room deals to pass a "universal background check" system. This only ends in one place, folks -- a national gun registry. SHARE this with your friends. Call your Congressman and Senators Udall/Bennet today and tell them to OPPOSE any new restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms.

    Read the linked article. NRA states they do not want the NICS expanded to private sale. We'll have to wait and see exactly what legislation is intorduced and who supports it.

    I read it and that is what I got out of it as well. I didn't see anything about them selling gun owners out

    I guess I must be blind as well, pretty much said that they were on our side of the issue through and through, and from what I gathered, the only thing they might support is gun show sales having a BGC like they do here.

    Just cause they are meeting with the guy wriitng a bill doesn't mean the necessarrily support it, they could have been in there telling him no F'n way.

    I'll submit to background checks -- *IF* they require the same background checks to be done on every person before they are able to vote.

    Every vote a new background check.

    I can see that. The NRA has made some mistakes, and it appears that they've learned a lot from them.
    ...and now is not the time for Pro 2A groups to be flinging poop at one another.
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I actually believe this will be a real litmus test for the 'new' NRA. They got their arse handed to them by their members after the first AWB -- and there was a concentrated effort to make the duck hunters go the fuck away. It didn't wildly succeed -- but there a few people on the board now with some common sense and a love for black rifles. Its no where near a majority and there are a whole bunch of them that care more about their Company's bottom line than your rights as an individual.

    If the NRA fucks us on this -- and I define fucks us as ANY new restrictions on gun/magazine ownership in ANY way -- I pray that there will be a massive exodus from the NRA membership. It wouldn't be good for us, as a whole bunch of splinter groups would pop up - and we would loose any notion of a combined voice. But I'd have a smaller few speak the truth than a large majority of liars.

    So let me get this straight, if the NRA is unsuccessful in stopping ANY part of this mess then they "fucked us"?

    So you're telling me that every failure or mistake you've ever made was a cold and calculated underhanded scheme to fuck yourself?
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
