 PN> Last time I looked it wasn't the NRA that wrote legislation.
 GP> NRA wrote the Armor Piercing bullet ban.  In fact, they reseructed a
 GP> dead AP bill & used their might to help ram it through.  Thanks, NRA. 
 GP> Based on this new precedent, will NRA next sponsor a ball ammo ban? 
 GP> Think about it!  
 I have thought about it.  And here's the rest of the story: the
 original legislation as conceived by the agf-pukes would have outlawed
 a virtual raft of ammunition -- such that all these guns would have
 been worthless because any ammo would have been restricted.
 Okay, they compromised, and another brick in our wall came down.  But
 I'd suggest the wall would have had a lot bigger hole in it than it
 does.
 GP> Yes, NRA _wrote_ that anti-gun legislation.  It looks like NRA _is_ a
 GP> Traitor.
 I believe the NRA did the best they had with what they had to work
 with.  It isn't the fault of the NRA that the politicians are allowed
 to contravene the constitution on a regular basis: it's _ours_.  Not
 you, or Dave, or me specifically.  But all the hunters who won't fight
 for our rights, all the brain dead who believe the 5 o'clock news
 blow-drys, and all of us who don't make a determined effort to fight
 for our rights on an on-going basis and encourage and educate our
 neighbors to do the same.
