This is no different than Fudd gun owners throwing Evil Black Rifle owners under the bus as long as they get to keep their "sporting" arms. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "$ingle issue" organization.

Rather than walk the walk, NRA chooses to sidle up to the vermin in CONgress in hopes of being the last to be eaten.
There will be none to speak for you LaPierre, when it's your turn...or will you have already moved offshore with your NRA millions when that day comes?
Weasels, quislings...
I just ended two calls, firstly the ILA and then Membership. ILA is now stating that they are OPPOSED to 5175 and when I pointed out the release from two days ago, I was told by the woman I spoke with, Lori: "That was two days ago and we are opposed now and a meeting is being held today on it." Was also told that this is due to the membership being "unhappy" with the stance previously taken and that the NRA is company who wants its membership happy.
Membership was quite brusque but "happy" to record my concerns and asked if I wanted ILA's number and told her I had already called. I asked if they had been receiving lots of calls about this and was told yes.

I just spoke with "Seth" at ILA and read him the key parts of your comment, DChurch, and after getting through the verbal dance about how they've always opposed 5175 and how things haven't been finalized he admitted NRA is going to stand down if they get their carve-out.
David, I just called back and spoke with Kaylan, who, when I asked for the correct spelling instantly asked: "Who are you reporting for?" This really chapped my butt and told him I keep good notes and you just read me my Life Membership information but will remind you I AM A LIFE MEMBER. I further explained I was a former EVC for Texas's CD15. He backed down and then went on to state what was previously said and that is that the NRA will NOT oppose 5175 IF they are exempted. I asked why I was told just the opposite this morning. He stated that the NRA has and currently opposes HR5175 and that the NRA was told an amendment would be attached to EXEMPT the NRA and was not- as such the NRA opposes it. I then said getting in bed with Chuck Schumer was bollocks, and that was as polite a way I could say it. Moreover, this creates a monopoly for the NRA and this really angered Kaylan. He loudly stated that this was what this was all about, the other gun groups complaining! Then, this is when I really became angry and told him flat out, I AM A LIFE MEMBER of the NRA, have been fighting this longer probably than he has, as long as many with the ILA and was tired of the BS the NRA is pushing. From endorsing McCain, the author of McCain/Feingold to this travesty. The NRA is supposed to defend the rights of ALL American gun owners because of the 2nd and otherwise, how could he explain Kopel's article, TRIMMING CITIZENS as the cover story for June 2010 AFF. That I resented his implication and that as a LM, I expected a follow-up to this and made him read back my number. He said he would pass along my comments. DO NOT LET UP!
