Plus, you dodged my question: What has the GOA done?
Suit yourself.
Most of us view the GOA as belligerent and ineffective.
Great job providingthese links ”Oak” Based on the organizations very own websites...Observation Itlooks as though the GOA has a more assertive non political stance yet he NRAhas a political response.
Thoughts?
Oregon: More gun control already signed into law
Florida: More gun control already signed into law
Illinois, New York, California: More gun control is working it's way through the house and senate of each state and is setup to be signed into law
Many other states are also dealing with more gun control legislation, but at this time it is difficult to determine what will and will not pass given the current anti-gun environment.
National: More gun control without the need to sign it into law

When I questioned the NRA's statement of "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations" I was disparaged, called all sorts of unrepeatable names, called a traitor to the 2nd amendment for not supporting the NRA, and told I was too stupid to realize that the NRA and President Trump were playing 4D chess.
Almost all of the legislation that is being proposed does not ever mention bump stocks. It only mentions anything that can increase the rate of your gun...with no further definitions. In the hands of a future anti-gun administration, that could be reinterpreted as anything. Just look how the "Sporting Purpose" clause has been abused and misused since it was written into the 1968 Gun Control Act. This is the same exact thing.
Now we are going to get national regulation through an unelected and unaccountable beurocrat. And once this happens, any anti-gun administration in the future will have free reign on banning whatever they want using the same exact process.
Was the NRA really playing 4D chess? Are you sure? There is no doubt in your mind at all???
Looks to me like the NRA is selling out gun rights because they are only interested in saving bolt action rifles and pump shotguns. In my opinion, if they are not willing to protect ALL of the 2nd amendment, they they are not protecting any of it.
I AM THE NRA!
