NRA IN CRISIS

The NRA Is A Crashed Car On Fire, Ready To Explode

Great news!

That just gives the other, better organizations room to rise.

The NRA is too weak, in my opinion. They want all kinds of restrictions that other advocacy organizations see as nothing more than a soft assault on the inalienable right to have any weapon a potential opponent would have.

We need an organization that will put machine guns back in the hands of citizens and protect us further from your communist revolution.

And or your state. Michigan for example almost passed a law saying you can open or conceal carry without taking the cow class. I would love that. I want to take guns up north and worry I’ll get a felony for transporting them wrong. I should be able to drive around lock and loaded. If not then we don’t really have the right, right?

Seems like my right has been limited.

Back in the day, Michigan required any weapon in your possession not be "at hand" to endanger an officer. In other words, it had to be locked, unloaded, in the glove box or trunk. Here in Phoenix, the law has a trap-door if the cops want to mess with you....you can't have a loaded gun in your possession within several hundred feet of a school zone. It's impossible to drive the city streets here without passing a school, and consequently committing a felony.

It's entirely possible to drive past multiple schools without even realizing they're there. I took the same route to work for two months and didn't realize I was driving past a charter school until it went back in session and they started putting out the "School Zone - 15 MPH" signs.

NRA Could Lose Tax-Exempt Status Over Shady Business Practices, Report Says
Why does the NRA have tax-exempt status in the first place? They're just a bunch of gun-running thugs.

The NRA is America's oldest Civil Rights Organization. The Left hates civil rights because they desire tyranny and imagine they would be in control of it.

I support a consumption tax for everyone, effectively ending non-profit/tax-exempt status completely.

As for The Right To Bear Arms:

Fireams Policy Coallition reported,

"The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court issued a significant 53-page majority opinion in the criminal appeal of Commonwealth v. Hicks. Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF) filed an important coalition amicus brief cited by the Court supporting Hicks in December of 2017, alongside Firearms Owners Against Crime (FOAC) and seven Members of Pennsylvania’s General Assembly. The Court’s decision, concurring opinions, and the FPC/FPF amicus brief can be viewed at www.firearmspolicy.org/legal.​

"At issue was whether someone’s carrying of a firearm could be used as reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct, and thus justification for police to conduct a stop-and-frisk of the gun owner. The court ruled in Hicks that such searches and seizures, in the absence of other evidence are completely unlawful."​

The appellant is Michael J. Hicks, who had a concealed gun permit, who was caught on a surveillance camera showing off his gun in June 2014. Officers stopped and frisked him.

The Morning Call reported,

"after officers smelled alcoholic beverages on Hicks’ breath, he was charged with drunken driving, among other misdemeanor offenses.​

"Hicks, then 35 and living in Allentown, asked a Lehigh County judge to throw out the charges on grounds that the stop was illegal, but the judge found his arrest was justified. He was convicted of driving under the influence of a high rate of alcohol for a second offense and sentenced to 30 days to six months in jail."​

Such a conviction would cost him his concealed gun permit. Justice was done. It took five years.

By Peter Weber

That's the opinion of Rupert Murdoch's conservative New York Post. And it's not as far-fetched as it may seem.

Well, let's read the text of the Second Amendment, says Jeffrey Sachs at The Huffington Post:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.​

It's astonishingly clear that "the Second Amendment is a relic of the founding era more than two centuries ago," and "its purpose is long past."

As Justice John Paul Stevens argues persuasively, the amendment should not block the ability of society to keep itself safe through gun control legislation. That was never its intent. This amendment was about militias in the 1790s, and the fear of the anti-federalists of a federal army. Since that issue is long moot, we need not be governed in our national life by doctrines on now-extinct militias from the 18th century.​

"Fair-minded readers have to acknowledge that the text is ambiguous," says Cass Sunstein at Bloomberg View. Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion in Heller, was laying out his interpretation of a "genuinely difficult" legal question, and "I am not saying that the court was wrong." More to the point: Right or wrong, obsolete or relevant, the Second Amendment essentially means what five justices on the Supreme Court say it means. So "we should respect the fact that the individual right to have guns has been established," but even the pro-gun interpretation laid out by Scalia explicitly allows for banning the kinds of weapons the shooter used to murder 20 first-graders. The real problem is in the political arena, where "opponents of gun control, armed with both organization and money, have been invoking the Second Amendment far more recklessly," using "wild and unsupportable claims about the meaning of the Constitution" to shut down debate on what sort of regulations might save lives.

There was a thread earlier today pretending that no one on the left is making this claim, this would have forced them to tweak their BS story...but as usual rosie its too little too late

 

[mikegriffith1]

Obsolete???!!! That is just an absurd argument. Ask the people who live under tyrannies if having the means to defend themselves is obsolete. Ask the thousands of people each year who find it necessary to use a gun to protect themselves and/or their property if guns are obsolete.
