Re: NRA on H.R. 5175 - The Disclose Act

I am not holding my breath.
Instead, I've got Chris Cox and the other NRA reps in Washington DC watching over the 'congresscritters'.

When the 'congresscritters' try to pull the next fast one, the NRA will be there.


I seem to have gotten a dozen emails on this subject from the GOA. The latest one admits that the bill is dead but after all the bad things they said about the NRA Selling out the 1st amendment, they were too small to admit that the NRA's tacit worked. Wow, I guess I was expecting too much.

Re: NRA on H.R. 5175 - The Disclose Act

Pelosi has pulled the bill.

I think the NRA won at least twice. They got their deal that protected NRA members. Other orgs. spent their political capital to kill the bill.

The bill was / is bad. It should never have been discussed in congress. I am glad Pelosi has pulled it.

Re: NRA on H.R. 5175 - The Disclose Act

David Hardy mentions the bill in his blog Arms and the Law:
http://armsandthelaw.com/

His list of other Orgs. that are against the bill is pretty entertaining.

I keep getting emails from remora organizations that are disappointed that the NRA isn’t doing the heavy lifting for them on this bill. (Excuse me while I dry a tear) Sometimes it seems that there are complaints about everything the NRA does or does not do. At least the Brady campaign admits they are against everything the NRA stands for. There are some Pro-gun rights organizations that don't seem to do anything but complain about the NRA.

My personal policy is to accept what the NRA (and the TSRA) does. If it doesn't immediately seem correct, I wait and listen. Every single time, I have found there is another side to the story AND there are excellent reasons for their actions.

In the case of the clearly anti-1st amendment bill, the NRA's position is forcing some left wing organizations to spend their political capital to kill-the-bill. In shooting this is called a "Double" (or is it a TwoFer).
