Like a lot of folks here, I have several issues with the way the NRA conducts its business. Unlike many, I've attributed their missteps to hubris and lack of foresight, rather than perfidy. However, their support for H.R. 297 makes me question my own assessment. That really makes it look as if they're working for the other side. Can someone clue me in?

La Pierre finds the problem much more profitable than the solution.

If you look at every opportunity the NRA has had to roll back 2A restrictions or to hold the line at status quo, they have chosen to give ground, to write restrictions on their own hook, to campaign for more restriction and calling it compromise (which is wrong anyway when it involves principle)yet never getting any accomodation from the other side.

The NRA will contribute to the Brady Campaign before they will tolerate a solution to the problem of attacks on the second amendment,and the Constitution.

Sort of like a doctor purposely infecting the public so as to make more profit.

LaPierre prefers the problem to the solution. He sold out a long time ago. He is not about to work himself out of a job. Especially one as easy as he has. How hard is betrayal for profit, when one knows there are no consequences personally?

Hmm--I had been holding out hope that the situation was not one of such naked treachery. It is, perhaps, time for me to stop looking at the world through such rose colored glasses.
