Thanks for nothing Pete Brownell
« on: October 27, 2017, 11:21:50 AM »
Anyone else read the newly minted nra Presidents letter?
Titled We must stop the decline of hunting.
The highlighted paragraph they wanted to draw focus to:

"It is our Second Amendment right to own firearms that guarantee our freedom to hunt"

.... freedom to hunt.... Thanks for not understanding at all Pete - I am losing faith in the nra hourly
I guess The Great Oz wayne "I work for the gun industry not the members" lapierre wants his Pinocchio to parrot.

Not about rights or guns or liberty - but hunting.

WTF are they doing?
I can somewhat (not really) understand the "deflecting" the bump stock issue but once again they are dancing around instead of address an issue head-on. IMHO
The time for action is upon us and the enemy is at our gates. Let us not allow them one more inch of advancement but instead throw them through the gates of Hell.

Without reading that page I don't know what context it was in. Without the Second Amendment our right to own firearms that are used to hunt with or to use in any other way wouldn't be guaranteed.

I think the leadership was wrong supporting a ban on bump stocks, but that issue is dead in the water, whether they were for or against it. It was a move to say we support "reasonable gun control" and it didn't have any impact except as publicity saying we aren't unreasonable. They're just playing political games and it may not have been a bad idea after all.

Hunting is a primary way many Americans use their firearms. It is our Second Amendment right to own firearms that guarantees our right to hunt. Unlike any other nation in the world, we have this freedom because our Second Amendment right guarantees the personal ownership and use of firearms.

"Not about rights or guns or liberty - but hunting." I don't think he's the one who doesn't understand.
