Since I have an over abundance of 9mm brass I let him pick up all the brass and start his own collection. CF> I live in Fayetteville,just outside Fort Bragg, home of the 82nd CF> Airborne. Fayetteville is about 60 miles south of Raleigh. PN> Ah. So when my kid acts up I can hire you to go kick his butt?

WD> There was no way that these two bills were not going to pass WD> the NRA has no vote in congress, they did what they could WD> but some people are not satisfied with the efforts of those WD> NOT in power. The May 1986 machine gun manufacturing ban was attached to NRA's _own_ McClure/Volkmer Bill. NRA could have easily have killed their own bill, don't you think? But no . . . NFA sacrificed machine gun owners so that we didn't have to sign out for our ammo anymore. And, oh yes, we can now go buy our shotguns out of state. The MG ban set a precident for opening the door for the semi-auto rifle ban, which carried the magazine ban with it. Then, as you will recall, NRA supported Jack Brooks against Steve Stockman. Brooks was Chair of the Judiciary Committee, the one man who could have killed the rifle/magazine bill in his committee. He chose to let it out because he knew he would be rewarded by NRA & its members' money, anyway. Fortunately, Texas voters were smarter than NRA "leadership." ...

NP>WD> is it the GOA? is it the JPFO? or maybe Nolan Penny? NP>Since none of the above were even able to vote on it, I don't see your NP>point. GOA doesn't support anti-gun candidates like Dole, Gingrich, Phil Gramm, etc. I don't know for sure about JPFO or NP, but NRA does! WD> The NRA did'nt get to vote either but it's always their fault WD> when one of Chuck the schmuck's bills gets dumped. that was my WD> point. If NRA supports Dole, Gingrich & Gramm . . . why not Schumer, too? I can't see a dime's worth of difference, except Schumer wants to do it all now, while Dole, Gingrich & Gramm want to do half now & ban the rest next session. NRA supported George Bushwack after he illegally banned imported infantry rifles, & the rabidly anti-gun NRA even supported that Fascist Trash & Traitor Jack Brooks right after he engineered passage of the magazine & rifle ban! What the hell does NRA keep blowing smoke about Schumer for?!? Schumer makes a lot of noise, but he's not near as effective as the proven trash NRA supports with it's members' money. WD> I don't expect too much from Bob on the Dole but I'll hold my WD> nose and vote for him if it'll get rid of Clowntown. You're exactly what's wrong with this country. Did it ever occur to you to get rid of them both? Oh no, you just keep voting for them . . . . WD> They don't make laws that's congresses job, check the constitution If NRA can't influence legislation, then why does it keep bragging & begging for members' money? I'll tell you why, so it can throw that money down a black-hole, before it gets out & does some good.

Dont sit NP>WD> around and wait for a handout from the NRA it won't come. What NRA will do is divert your money & efforts before they do some good. NRA will show you how to vote for the same Traitors who banned machine gun manufacturing, who banned imported infantry rifles, who banned semi-auto infantry rifles, who banned magazines, who voted for NAFTA & regional govt, & who voted for GATT & world govt. NRA will show you how to shoot yourself in both feet, time after time . . . . if you are that stupid. NP>You make a lot of assumptions here Wyatt.

WD> I don't expect the NRA to do it all for me, No, NRA expects you to destroy America yourself . . . NRA will just tell the sheeple who to vote for, so they can do it to themselves.
