Sources: NRA won't oppose background check deal – if Democrats cede tough records fight

Senators negotiating a bill mandating background checks for all gun buyers are privately expecting the National Rifle Association not to fight the measure -- provided the legislation does not require private gun sellers to maintain records of the checks, NBC News has learned.

If that requirement is met and key Republican negotiator Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma signs on, the powerful gun lobby has signaled to lawmakers that they would not actively oppose the bill -- and not count votes in favor of it as part of its highly influential NRA lawmaker ratings -- according to Senate aides familiar with the stalled negotiations.

Not that I trust NBC news...but if this story turns out to be true and the NRA sells us out, they will never see another dime of my money.

Don't you mean if the NRA sells us out again?

This story is crap. I read about it earlier this week and the nra came out pretty strong saying it was a fabrication. Im looking for the link now.

Are these the same "sources" that said Coburn and Schumer were very close to a deal on UBC? And it's from the same network that airs audio and video edited to slant stories (and adds rocket motors to blow up GM pickups and...), to boot. I call BS on this.

It is, as expected, NBC's usual bang-up job of "journalism"--it's complete horsepuckey.

The NRA are some cheap whores if they would sell out just for getting rid of requiring private sellers to keep records, while all this other outrageous b.s. that is just as bad if not worse, remains in this bill:

The anti's are throwing out bald faced lies daily at this point. They're not even trying to hide it. I've never seen it so bad in my lifetime.

Ah, I got worried there for a minute. Sorry for the false alarm. I'm still contacting Coburn's office again to specifically detail my objections to this bill, highlighting certain highly objectionable specific text of the bill, just in case. Again, mea culpa.
