Ben I always read your posts and find them quite good and I cannot think of a time I have not concurred in your thinking. That said and on this and the other forums where this subject has arose what I see a lot of, is half baked, statements by folks that I have to wonder what their motives are...the NRA did NOT say that and you cannot extract that from their statement even in your wildest imagination.What? You want us to read the actual text and understand that the NRA didn't do what everyone says they did?
That won't do any good. Perception is reality. The NRA gave an inch, their (former and current) allies perceive they gave a mile, and the anti-gunners will try to take a full astronomical unit.
The Republicans that have used this NRA statement to launch a poorly-crafted bill are just building on the bad foundation laid by the NRA. What the NRA did was bad enough but what will come of it could be disastrous.
That statement you quote isn't as bad as people are making out but it's the match that can start a forest fire.
I'm not happy with the NRA right now. Not at all. I'm just wondering what to do about it.
You right, perception IS reality, an oft used adage in my career as a consultant. So when we have so called gun rights supporters spewing false information about what the voice of the gun owners think does anyone believe this makes us look smart, well organized or standing for what RIGHT????
On the news this morning and I listen to the news in my office all day. I was listening to a Big 3 news and the story was on the current lawsuit that has been filed against Slide Fire. The person said that it converted a semi auto to a full auto it just did not fire as fast, then went on to say that Full Auto was against the law and this get around the law...IF perception is reality, then a whole lot of people this morning from soccer moms to men on the way to work now think this was the problem in LV and had it not been for that no one would have got hurt, which is also what the lawsuit says.
YES perception IS reality and if that public out there who beleives in the 2nd RKBA even tho they don't own and will not own them, if they see us as a bunch of nut jobs that support a cheat to get around SA to go FA, we are thrown into the same pot as Paddock and we are going down.
