nra bails on firearms freedom act

[Guest duckdog38]

anyone see page 18 in american rifleman magazine sept. 2009? they warned us not to try this and if we do, dont expect help from them! i sent them a letter telling them where to go and quit them. will be supporting some other group like TFA or JPFO.

The NRA is not her[/url]e to pay my legal bills. If I'm looking for a group to pay my legal bills,then PPL would be on my speed dial.

Also(now Im not bad mouthing the other groups mind you) but I doubt any other firearms group will foot a legal bill either for an individual.

Other then that,no I haven't read the article,so I have no idea what you are talking about on the "not to try this"

they wrote in their magazine that the firearms freedom act has received a lot of publicity this year. then cited a california marijuana supreme court ruling in favor of the feds, and said that they will continue to focus on other kinds of legislation. then they said "an even more important point is that no one should try to take advantage of the montana or tennessee firearms freedom acts without consulting a competent attorney" and then "no one who puts himself in that situation should expect support from the nra"

I think it is Alaska and maybe one other state that their new law says the state AG will defend any citizen in federal case.

If you live in one of those states and are willing to take a chance I'd say go for it. As far as in TN and others, I would have a super 2A attorney lined up before I even thought about trying something.

Don't really blame the NRA for giving the warning and not expecting them to jump in and defend you.

Montana law requires the AG to defend any citizen (and the AG has said he will do so).

Maybe it's because their interpretation of the 10th Amendment isn't the same as what yours is?

Here is a pretty decent link on the 10th:

Legal Definition of Tenth Amendment

But I do wonder why you would bail on the NRA over one issue when they do so much good; no organzation is perfect, but the NRA does a good job imho.

As a friend of mine once told me, "choose the hill you want to die on."

They do a pretty good job with the Second.

Because they are the National Rifle Association, not the National BoR Association.

I don't see them taking up for any other ammendment either, nor do I expect them too.

You're mighty welcome and I hope you rethink your support of the NRA over this issue. We all get tweaked time to time by things our "organizations" do or don't do, but hopefully can look at the long term goals and keep plugging away.
