The REAL NRA
I can think of a multitude of reasons not to join the NRA. One among the top reasons, is that they arenot a '2nd Amendment Rights' organization. The NRA has been behind most of the gun controllegislation.Wow, that's incredible and hard to believe you say. Surely that man must be nuts. Well, if you enjoyfirearms history like I do, please do some reading.The NRA has 'covertly' worked in the past to take away 2nd Amendment Rights. That's a cold hardfact.
The NRA helped craft the 1934 NFA act, the 1968 Gun Control Act just to name a few.
These lawshelp restrict the 2nd Amendment.
The NRA tried unsuccessfully to scuttle a rare 2nd Amendment victory -- U.S. Court of Appealsfor the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that D.C.’s gun ban violates the Second Amendment tothe U.S. Constitution.
Quote:The attorneys involved in litigating the case have stated that the NRA acted as an obstruction.Attorney Alan Gura has commented on the NRA's "sham litigation" to have Parker consolidated with NRA controlled litigation, and stated that "the NRA was adamant about not wanting the SupremeCourt to hear the case".[6] Cato Institute senior fellow Robert Levy, co-counsel to the Parker  plaintiffs, has stated that the Parker plaintiffs
"faced repeated attempts by the NRA to derail thelitigation."
[7]What kind of gun right organization actively undermines a case so important to gun ownershipnationwide?Quote:"
The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun controllegislation since its very inception in 1871
." —NRA Executive Vice President Franklin L. Orth NRA's American Rifleman Magazine, March 1968, P. 22Quote:"
The NRA supported The National Firearms Act of 1934
which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns. ... NRA support of Federalgun legislation did not stop with the earlier Dodd bills.
It currently backs several Senate andHouse bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and FederalFirearms Acts
." —American Rifleman, March 1968, P. 22 Now
in 2007, the NRA has joined forces with the very people who would love to disarmAmerican's -- the Brady Campaign
. Who helped craft H.R. 2640? Why Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D- NY) and FORMER NRA BOARD MEMBER Rep. John Dingell (D-MI).
 
The NRA currently has on its board of directors, Joaquin Jackson, who was
caught on video statingthe mere civilians shouldn't be able to own magazines that hold more than 5 rounds.
And just this past weekend on CNN Glen Beck show, the chief lobbyist for the NRA Chris Cox publicly stated that the NRA has never supported fully automatic firearms. <see below>Why would the NRA keep surrendering on every piece of legislation that comes down the pike?Perhaps they forgot about the “shall not be abridged" part of the Amendment and think it says'compromised away'.-------------
The NRA's Role In Creation of the 1934 National Firearms Act
Congressional hearings over the National Firearms Act of 1934 (H.R.9066) took place April 16 & 18and May 14, 15, & 16 of 1934. Then-NRA President Karl T. Frederick testified on behalf of the National Rifle Association (NRA). NFA'34 is the foundation for all federal gun control and has been used in courts to justify many stategun controls -- and gun control is clearly about disarmament.Example of NRA President's Testimony:Quote:MR. FREDERICK: ... "
I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons.
Iseldom carry one. ... I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should besharply restricted and only under licenses"This should be required reading by all gun owners. It will help you understand the genesis of all thenations restrictions on firearms occurred -- the NRA.http://www.keepandbeararms.com/NRA/NFA.asp----------
1968 Gun Control Act and the NRA
Plus to be honest, the only reason there was the a 1968 Gun Control Act is because the NRA supportedits creation. Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) actually drafted the1968 bill and the NRA endorsed it.Quote:1968 General Franklin Orth, Executive Vice President of NRA, testifies before Congress in favor of the Gun Control Act (GCA'68) that "[NRA does] not think that any sane American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this bill the instrument which killed the president of theUnited States," /2/ (a ban on the mail-order sale of firearms). His statement of NRA supportgenerates heated opposition from the (presumably insane) portion of the NRA membership, creating
