[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1176348, member: 796"] The real target of this "incumbent protection act" is the tea party movement, but any way you look at it, the proposed bill stinks as government is trying to cancel the First Amendment. Expecting the NRA to save everybody's bacon on this may be flattering from some perspective but it is unrealistic. The NRA is about the 2nd Amendment, not a broad-based civil rights group, at the insistence of members like me. We just don't have the funds to fight every civil rights violation that Congress tries to implement. Wish we did, but there it is. Do you think it might be more productive to attack the distinguished reps in Congress trying to pass this atrocity rather than bashing the NRA? I do. Gun owners and religious groups seem to be the only interest groups that stop to attack their friends each time there is a crisis. [/QUOTE]
