When we had 6 years of a president and both houses of congress who were supposedly friendly to our constitutional rights (before bringing up PATRIOT, I said 'supposedly'), why was the NRA sitting back mumbling 'enforce the existing laws' rather than demanding action to rid us of the Hughes Amendment, GCA 68, and the 1934 NFA? I can forgive the organization (led by different people in a different time) backing the wrong horse on the latter two, but seriously, where the hell were they when we had what should have been a golden opportunity? How should I form any conclusion other than that the NRA, like Jackson and Sharpton operate in such a way as to be successful enough to remain relevant but not so successful that they work themselves out of a job?
