NRA Is A Friend To Hunters

This is all well and good, I will give you that. However where are the organizations that protect the other amendments, or for that fact the entire Constitution? The ACLU? So then the ACLU and the NRA should be great allies. In fact the ACLU takes care of the rest so did they drop the ball on just the 2nd amendment? Can they replace the NRA? Just asking as I seem to have overstepped my opinion on yesterdays Cuomo article not clearly understanding that guns are not registered at this point, so please no rudeness necessary, it is obviously a very labored discussion where I don't see any black and white answers very soon.

Nice job Joe! A lot of people have blinders on all they see is straight in front of them nothing else.If you trust everything our Government feeds use is true we are in TROUBLE.NRA is here for all of us.NRA is not asking for anymore then the rights our founding fathers gave us period. The Government will and has used all means to guide us down the path they want.

I have been enjoying the NRA's hunting magazine, great org that is not funded by taxpayer funds. If the gun phobs dont like it, get over it.

From '05 to '11 $38.9 million NRA budget came gun and ammunition manufactures. Can a origination claim to be for public safety when the sue to stop the destruction of guns purchased in buy back programs? "The Tucson Police Department also held a gun buyback Tuesday. Police want to destroy the 206 firearms turned in to them. But the National Rifle Association says that would violate Arizona law.

A line of people with guns formed in front of the midtown Tucson police station well before the 9 a.m. starting time for the buyback."

You will find that the most of the guns in the buy back program are stolen, junk, or inherited. None would have been used to commit a crime. Therefore, that program did nothing to make the streets safer.

A inherited gun can not be used in a crime? Explain how that works. A unwanted gun can not be stolen and then used in a crime? Explain how that works.

The NRA cares about the 2nd Amendment, safety, training and other things involving guns. The ACLU is a law suit oriented left wing organization that cares only about the headlines they can make.

He did not say they couldn't be used in a crime. If you were not so anti gun Mr.single shot you would realize the reference was more that an inherited gun would not normally be used in a crime because most are law abiding citizens.

The NRA is an overpaid Lobbying group, plan and simple. I have no problem with guns, but I hate seeing you folks waste your money paying for the idiot nra president and the cost of lobbying that we all complain about.

"the cost of lobbying that we all complain about"

I thought Obama campaigned the first time on ELIMINATING lobbying. His pants are on fire everyday.

It is sad when we need organizations like the NRA and NYS Rifle & Pistol to protect our Constitution - from Americans. Secondly, @XJtownres: Once again, a liberal blaming others for their problems, and limit another person's free speech rights to solve it, rather than take responsibility. You made a conscious effort to log into this forum. Don't like it? Then go someplace else.

Donating to the NRA to lobby and maintain my 2nd amend rights is a great investment. The pres of the NRA and his family have been threatened by gun phobs that want to attack our 2nd amend rights. We need the 2nd amend to protect us from the gun phobs.

Hey Dog, what part of CONGRESS WRITES THE BILLS AND THE PRESIDENT SIGNS THE BILLS don't you get? Until Boehmer gets removed by his own party, we are pretty well stuck with another two years of garbage.

And we are stuck with at least 4 more years of Obama garbage. and Pelosi and reid garbage. It's lose, lose for at least 4 years.

PWU - what part of "I don't like a law so I'll sign an executive order"?

Kind of had for Congress to pass laws when that bumbling idiot Harry Reid will NOT allow them to the floor for debate. And by the way, Boehner CAN be removed by his party -Obama can't.

That was before he flipped and liked lobbying after he saw how much could be made from it.

How does a voluntary donation paid for gun buyback affect your rights?

1 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

Where did anyone say a voluntary one did? It's the ones they want to make mandatory that will.

Now anyone who thinks the NRA is not a friend of not only hunters but anyone who carries or use a gun is a downright fool.

Anybody giving up a gun in a buy back program obviously were not going to be using it for a crime. Some were worth a lot of money. These were just eye candy for the anti gun crowd. How many gang bangers did you see lined up?
