You want the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) repealed!!? You can't be serious.45ACP wrote:The NRA working to repeal NFA'34? GCA'68? FOPA/MGB'86?.
That's in the top 3 most ridiculous statements I've ever read. GOA and Pratt have never accomplished anything -- nothing whatsoever!! All GOA and Pratt do is preach to the choir and stir up the NRA-bashers. When Schumer, Feinstein, Brady, Soros, Gore, Clinton, and any other anti-gunners complain, they complain about the NRA; GOA is never even mentioned. Why? Because they are ineffective and no threat to the anti-gunners' agenda. When McCain lead the fight for passage of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act on the Senate floor, he referred to it as the "get the NRA bill," not the "get the GOA bill." Look at the website for the Brady Campaign and you won't find a call to stop the GOA, only to stop the NRA. Why? Because GOA doesn't have to be stopped -- it's not doing anything!! When Rebecca Peters wanted to debate the leader of the most powerful American gun lobby, she asked to debate Wayne LaPierre, not Larry Pratt. Every time a Castle Doctrine Bill passes in a state, Sara Brady decries legislators selling out to the NRA, not the GOA. The Brady Campaign created a StoptheNRA.com website, but you won't find a StoptheGOA.com website. Former President Bill Clinton didn't credit the GOA with costing Gore the 2000 Presidential election, he credited the NRA.46ACP wrote:I had a friendly chat with Larry Pratt of the GOA once. He said he wished the NRA would stick to the things it was good at (firearms safety and marksmanship training), and stay out of politics. I agreed with him.
NRA stay out of politics? Give me a break.
