ajjar is once again here to disseminate B.S. pertaining to gun control and the NRA. Many anti-gunners and anti-gun organizations use the exact same propaganda as he did above. But it is inaccurate, to put it mildly.
The NRA was not originally the 2nd Amendment Civil Rights organization that it is today. Its' original mission was the promotion of Civilian marksmanship, and it was never intimately involved with Gun Control Legislation until the late 1960's. Anti-gunners like to cherry-pick a few quotes from a very small minority of the NRA leadership in the 1930's or the 1960's to make the dishonest case that the NRA actually supported the NFA of 1934 or the GCA of 1968. In reality, the NRA mostly simply did not mount fierce opposition to those acts because that wasn't their mission back then. However, by 1965, a large percentage of the membership was demanding a more active role in opposition to further infringements upon gun rights of law abiding citizens. This was clearly evident in the large increases in NRA membership during the 1960's, going from 700,00 members in 1965 to 1,000,000 in 1968. The turning point came in 1977 during the Cincinnati Reforms led by Harlon Carter and Neal Knox. That surge of concerned citizens has risen to over 4.5 million members today, and those numbers jump during imminent threats such as what Obama and Biden attempted to ram through in 2013. And despite the claims of the anti-gunners and Fudd's like ajjar, very very few of us wish to give an inch, but rather want existing laws enforced. Intelligent people do not blame inanimate objects for crimes, and intelligent people understand that anti-gunners dislike all guns.
It is obvious that ajjar is here to advance gun control with 3 out his 13 posts here aimed in that direction. Anti-gun Trolls and Fudds are found on every firearms internet forum. The best way to counter them is with the truth. Here's a good article that shows that
"Any hope of compromise between advocates of stricter gun control and the NRA ended after 1965."http://jpfo.org/articles-assd02/gca68-nra4.htmSaner times may come when dishonest anti-gunners quit trying to B.S. us. But the recent emergence of ajjar shows us that the threat never stops and we can never let our guard down.
