URGENT: HB 87 Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act-Needs NRA Endorsement

[clint4liberty]

Dear Activists,

We need your phone calls to the NRA-ILA(Institute for Legislative Action) in order to pass House Rep. Stan Lee Bill HB 87 or the KY Firearms Freedom Act. The Pro-Gun House Representatives need the National Rifle Asso. to endorse this bill in order to get it passed committee and through the Kentucky State House. Please call 1-800-392-8683 and tell the person who answers the phone that you want the NRA to fully endorse HB 87 the Kentucky Firearms Freedom Act.

Without the NRA-IRA endorsment this pro secondment bill will not pass the Kentucky House of Representatives. Please call 1-800-392-8683 and show your support for the second amendment!

Sincerely yours,

Kentuckians for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Why are people still enrolled in the NRA? The NRA are shills. They don't care about gun rights and their actions have proven it. The only good gun org. is the GOA.

[John A.]

This should read:

SECTION 5. A NEW SECTION OF KRS CHAPTER 237 IS CREATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
A firearm manufactured and sold in Kentucky under Sections 1 to 6 of this Act shall be clearly stamped on the receiver, frame, or housing.


-------------------------

Also, in section 3;article 4 it states that it does not apply to: weapons that may fire 2 or more shots with one pull of the trigger.

This may could cause some shotguns (namely popular over/under and side by side double barrel shotguns) to not be exempt under some interpretations of the wording.

If the text were changed to more than 2 shots, it would eliminate the possible misinterpretation that sporting shotguns are not covered and would solidly protect shotguns as well.

uhhhhg. You are right to a point. But they are still the most powerful gun lobby. We are getting the help of socialists like Kuncinich and Sanders to pass Audit the Fed. What in the hell is wrong with getting the NRA to back liberty promoting legislation?

Thanks for jumping right into a thread and immediately attempting to derail someone trying to encourage activism.

I don't see the NRA helping much if at all. I akin them to one step forward two steps back. If more people actually exposed the NRA and promoted the GOA, JPFOA, CCRKBA, etc. we may actually produce results. What has the NRA accomplished, for its massive lobbying efforts? It's throwing good money down a bad hole. If you want to go ahead and call and ask them to sponsor, so be it, but it would do you well to get the word out about the aforementioned groups that actually, don't compromise our rights away. (I'm sure the McCain supporting NRA will do just fine...)

IMO, you could make the same argument against Ron Paul using the GOP. If the NRA needs to stick more stringently to principle, why not join and make the unprincipled faction that much smaller?

Let me know when the NRA is a political party, otherwise what you said has no merit whatsoever. Moreso, it would be more beneficial for all the uncomprimising principled people in the NRA to head over to the GOA, and devote their time to actually growing the GOA.

What does being a political party have to do with it?

How are you going to unseat the CEO, and Board? A Business, Corps., etc. are not voted upon. It is a silly waste of effort and time to try and "reform" the NRA. They are lost. You would do well to make peace with that, and grow the GOA so it overwhelms the NRA! The NRA are your enemies! They proclaim to be on your side, but they sabotage the whole movement. They haven't done anything, but comprimise our rights away.

Ah okay, I kind of see where you are coming from. I know the CEO is elected by the board, but I don't know how the board is elected, or if it is in fact elected. If it is elected democratically, then the analogy would stay true, methinks. If not, then that in and of itself is good reason to leave the NRA.
