Agree with Mleake and others who've seen this trashy excuse for journalism for what it really is: a lie, a bad lie at that.
The NRA has and always will be a single-issue organization. That single issue is the Second Amendment and the RKBA. They have worked against legislation in the past that would limit their ability to fight for 2ndA freedoms, and that is completely understandable.
I liken it to a church that fights a re-zoning of their neighborhood that would force them to move....
There's absolutely no substance to this story folks, organizations like the NRA and others use big-shot lobbyists (hired guns, if you will) all the time... Why? Because they are successful, they get the job done.
Think of the hired guns like you would your lawyer; the lawyer may not agree with you on everything, he may have litigated cases in the past that you don't agree with, but while he's on a contract with you, he is obligated to fight for your best interests. And there's nothing at all wrong with that.
Either support the NRA or don't, it's your money... But stop with this childish public threatening to stop sending money... Either do it or don't. Stop crying about it. The NRA is far from perfect, I don't agree with them on a few issues, but they're the best we have, and often the lone wall standing between our gun freedoms a nd oblivion.
