Free Speech Sell-out: Good news and Bad news
From Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:
I have some good news and some bad news to share with you about the NRA free speech sell out.
First, the good news.
Our pressure is working. It appears the momentum behind the anti-free speech DISCLOSE Act may be losing steam. Grassroots outrage over the NRA’s sickening attempt to cozy up to anti-gun Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi is slowing down the bill.
Today, Forbes is reporting that Democrats are feeling the heat over their devils’ pact with the NRA.
That is good news, but the bad news is worse… Continue reading
Update: Wallstreet Journal confirms NRA sellout
From Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:
Washington is ablaze with news about the NRA’s abandonment of free speech.

While some pro-gun rights advocates may think free speech does not matter or that nothing another gun advocacy group does should ever be questioned, the National Association for Gun Rights and I take a very different view.
Without the right to free speech, we are defenseless in the battle to save our Second Amendment rights. Continue reading

Not Rational Anymore
I wish it were true. Unfortunately, the NRA is about as irrelevant as Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein and Frank Lautenberg – and much more effective at promoting gun control. The NRA is relevant; but it’s Not Rational Anymore.
Thanks to the NRA, we have the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, Brady registration, and Project Exile. Now, in addition, we will likely have six more years of Orrin Hatch and four more of Mike Leavitt. Continue reading
