If there was another group that had the clout, ability , money and experience dealing in gun law out there they should step up. They also would make mistakes , tick some people off be just like the NRA . No I don't agree with all they do never expected to . But when deals go down they are there and that's important. They also know they can and will lose support if the stray to far from what the members want.
If someone feels they can do better , more direct go for it . Hey just pick an unjust law and break it . Get arrested and have your day(s) in court . defend your case and in the end win or well go to prison. I for one like the NRA taking the chances .
