The real story starts at the bottom with the last line – here’s the prelude:
Arrgghhh! First it was the NRA and its special carve out with the Democrat crafted DISCLOSE Act (take the Big Dog out of the freedom fight by throwing it a BIG Bone, now go crush everyone else). Now they’ve been caught, by Erick over at RedState, in working with the Democrats to block Republican attempts to roll back restrictions in exercising our Right to bear arms:
Specifically, the NRA tried to weaken the guns in parks language working with House Democratic leadership (after it passed the Senate overwhelmingly). …In some instances, this would result in park and refuge visitors being allowed to carry handguns and rifles in national parks. Ironically, the National “RIFLE” Association wanted to change it so that Coburn’s legislation did not include “rifles” or other long firearms.
Now another stupid move, as reported by Erick over at RedState:
The NRA is now openly floating, or at least allowing to be floated, its endorsement of Harry Reid, a man who voted for the Brady Gun Bill…
…So they have gone from denying they would endorse Harry Reid to “not tamping down speculation.”
When are these lunkheads going to learn that ALL of our Rights are interlocking, that defending ONLY ONE AT A TIME without taking the whole into account, is nothing but a losing proposition for them all, and for all of us?!?!?! That either working directly with the Democrats or acting as their useful idiots is going to doom the strongest of the Conservatives that can fight the Liberty and Freedom battles for us in the House or the Senate.
And now there is yet another gun group here in NH, a micro-NRA wannabe to play the stage again. In the past, they did in Jason Bedrick that raised a LOT of Conservative hackles for the hatchet job they did on him because he did not meet THEIR Politically Correct agenda . A good enough job such that he lost to someone less supportive to Liberty and Freedom issues. Yeah, that helped a whole lot now, didn’t it!
Now, they’ve decided to resurrect an old, OLD (and untrue) story just in time and just sufficiently distorted in an attempt to splash another – and may just replay the same result.
To be sure, they’ll feel self-righteous about it…you Betcha! But in the end, they’ll be remembered by the Conservatives here in NH as the half-cocked group – not a good thing.
The group: The NH Firearms Coalition
More tomorrow.
