It’s not as if it ever went away.
The NRA “compromised” to saddle us with the National Firearms Act (taxing and registering wide classes of firearms).
The NRA “compromised” to saddle us with the Gun Control Act prohibited persons, loss of mail order, and more).
The NRA “compromised” to saddle us with the Firearm Owners Protection Act (loss of new NFA items).
The NRA “compromised” to saddle us with NICS (preemptively prove your innocence).
The NRA “compromised” to saddle us with a bureaucratic bump stock ban.
Along the way, the NRA also fought against constitutional carry, and helped write “assault weapon” bans.
Also along the way, the NRA turned around to fund raise to “fight against” those infringements its “compromises” created.
It appears we can add another “compromise” to the list.
NRA asked for mental health funding, school hardening money and 10-year sunset on juvenile records in background check system, per this document.
We can expect an NRA announcement that it will fight this new collection of infringements in 3… 2…
Oops.
BREAKING: NRA Announces Opposition to Senate Gun Control Legislation
“This legislation can be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, & use fed dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state & local politicians.”
I expect NRA “gimme money” mailings to hit my mail box any second now.
Oh, yes. And there’s this.
The NRA won that case? That’s a surprise to me. I do not see them as a party in the case. It did file an amicus brief. But parties to suits don’t have to file amicus briefs.
Kinda reminds of how the NRA tried to claim credit for HELLER, after trying to kill the case they feared would be lost if it went to SCOTUS.

I got my letter in the mail of triumph from the NRA and almost was moved to tears of joy, thinking how grateful I am that Wayne Lapierre is still in solid control.
That was so hard to type, I am glad I didn’t actually say it, or the taste in my mouth would make me pretty sick. The NRA gets my dues and not a dime more. I stay a member, in the hopes that WLP and company will hit the bricks upon the legal rulings, and that the NRA can become relevant once again.
I like so many others, do not send any more than my membership fees to the organization, in my case because I refuse to help pay the legal fees of those criminals. It has gotten so bad that the NRA spends more on legal bills than they do on any other item, be it outreach or training, or any other worthwhile program.
There are so very many great things that the NRA could do, if they only had the proper management and a smaller, more responsive board in place. Until then, it will be nothing other than a quagmire of filth, much like the federal government.
The NRA is about only one thing today, raising money to pay off Wayne’s liberal anti gun lawyers to keep Wayne out of jail.
Until the Fudds wake up to that the NRA will continue to be a hand maiden to the gun grabbers.
