Kelly, I know for a fact you guys are working it and working hard at it. If we could see this level of get after it from the Wood room suits sucking the life out of the operation I am sure our involvement would double.You @'ed? (See what I did there?? )
State level: I've been an NRA-ILA vol for a few years now. It started with wanting to make bailout Joe Donnelly unemployed and meeting the Regional Grassroots Campaign Field Coordinator at the 1500 working the INGO booth. They had Campaign Field Reps in the State in 2018. When I'm in the NRA booth at the 1500 (or anywhere else) I'm there as an NRA-ILA vol.
At the Statehouse: They show up with lawyers to testify in support of legislation being supported by NRA-ILA. They do this in all States and at the National level. There are a lot of States and a lot of bills every year, they can't be there for all.
Chris Kopacki (who Guy mentions frequently) was the lobbyist in this area for many years. He testified numerous times, most recently in support of the Civil Immunity bill in 2019. He was also there when ConC was up in committee in 2017 and at the summer study.
