AV>Amendment as an issue.  I have the feeling that the NRA is being
AV>disingenuous and trying to milk gun-banning issues for all of
AV>the membership dues it can get, and that it doesn't really want
AV>this issue decided.
     As much as I *don't* want to believe it, this has been in the back

AV>these rights under the Constitution or we don't -- as determined
AV>by the U.S. Supreme Court (and any state supreme courts that
     I also have felt this way for a long time.
AV>action.  If we don't, *then* gun owners and others interested in
AV>personal responsibility and liberty need to pursue political action.
AV>But, it is ridiculous to throw money into political action before
AV>the U.S. Supreme Court has declared that the 2nd Amendment doesn't

    the Constitutional right, that doesn't mean the 2nd Amendment says
    we *can't* own firearms.
AV>I will be pursuing this matter further by contacting NRA's
AV>attorneys.  In the mean time, copies of my correspondence
      Please keep us posted, and post the names of those you talk to.
