Researching the 2ndA & the NRA

[otis147]

if a man can be trusted unsupervised in public, he can be trusted to have a weapon. all the non-criminally insane people with guns would help to insure his trustworthiness...

i doubt any link i share would be viewed as valid, but here's one...

http://jpfo.org/articles-assd02/nra-supported-nfa34.htm

"The NRA supported The National Firearms Act of 1934 which taxes and requires registration of such firearms as machine guns, sawed-off rifles and sawed-off shotguns. … NRA support of Federal gun legislation did not stop with the earlier Dodd bills. It currently backs several Senate and House bills which, through amendment, would put new teeth into the National and Federal Firearms Acts." -American Rifleman, March 1968, P. 22

And that's "basically every major infringement," the outlawing of machine guns, and sawed off rifles and shotguns?

I see that's a 1968 publication that was taken from.

did you read the link, or just the paragraph i pasted here?

can you think of a bigger infringement on the second amendment than the combined effect of the GCA, NFA, and FOPA?

The NRA was an entirely different organization in 1934. The author of that article has an agenda.

What gun rights group opposed the NFA?

were they a different org when they helped write the strictest anti gun laws in the nation for d.c.? in 68? 86? in the 90s when they advocated for gun free schoolzones? in 2012 when they decided to blame video games for murder? what good has the NRA done? have we made amy real ground because of the nra, or is all the progress we've made in spite of them?

Are you suggesting machine guns should be legalized?

If so, do you think that is a winning strategy?

machine guns, short barreled shotguns, suppressors, all that stuff that we have to pay for permission to own.

rights don't require a license, tax, background check, or approval. those are for priveleges.

You didn't answer my question. Do you think that is a winning strategy?

Also, of groups you financially support, which ones lobby for the legalization of machine guns?

financially supporting a group that actively works to erode the very rights they claim to support... is that a winning strategy?
