Credit Where Credit is Due

NRA's Chris Cox:
Today, in a landmark victory for NRA and law-abiding gun owners, Judge Carl J. Barbier of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana denied the City of New Orleans' motion to dismiss NRA's lawsuit against the city and held that the Second Amendment applies to law-abiding residents in the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans. Straining the bounds of credibility and reflecting the true sentiment of anti-gunners, the City of New Orleans contemptuously argued that the Second Amendment does not apply to residents in the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans.
SAF's Alan Gottlieb:
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today won a key battle in an on-going lawsuit against the City of New Orleans, when a federal judge rejected the city's motion to dismiss the case. SAF took New Orleans to court last year to stop illegal confiscation of firearms from private citizens in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Defendants in the case are the city, Mayor Ray Nagin and Police Superintendent Warren Riley. SAF was joined in the historic lawsuit by the National Rifle Association. Both organizations have members living in New Orleans.
I note SAF's acknowledgment of NRA contributions is not reciprocated. Again.

Here's the AP's version ...

    I sent them an email chastising them for their lack of recognition for the efforts of other organizations.

    I told them that, as long as these practices continued, they may as well stop sending me requests for more money because I won't be donating unless they change their ways. I told them that, as long as they continued ignoring the efforts of other groups I would be making donations to those other groups versus them.

    Their answer:

    Thanks for letting us know that you no longer wish to receive our mailings. We can save money by not sending you solicitations if you aren't going to donate anyway.

    Now there's a group that REALLY cares about the conerns of its members.

    Unfortunately, I deleted the email in disgust before considering that I could have forwarded it to bloggers to post. Sorry for my short-sightedness.
