Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: New Yorker magazine has an interesting article about history of 2nd amendment, NRA and gun control [View all]rgbecker
(4,806 posts)Even if the Democrats announce as a party their support for gun rights...actually Obama on many occasions has said he respects the 2nd amendment and he has yet to offer any legislation that would restrict any kind of guy posession....a quick look at the list of board members of the NRA show a group that promotes all the GOP policies: Anti Gay rights, Anti social security, Anti Medicare, Anti investment in infrastructure, Pro War, Anti Women's choice, Anti women's health care, Anti health care. etc. The board member list reads like a directory of Reagan/Goldwater supporters. Even Norquist is on the board! I think these guys know they need the gun rights special interest vote more than the gun rights special interest group needs them and they will make sure to be vocal about gun right issues to get that vote.
