I'm very glad you make time to post here when you can, blueberry. It wouldn't be nearly as funny or interesting without your passionate posts and the comments/replies by Maggot, BG, FU, Cutz and all.
I'm gonna try to watch the Town Hall meeting on Thursday night and find out more about what's being proposed. So far, nothing that's been revealed is remotely objectionable to me.
Either the NRA shares my view, or they're trying to minimize the effort for strategic political purposes.
Jennifer Baker, an official with the N.R.A.’s Washington lobbying arm, issued a statement today: “This is it, really? This is what they’ve been hyping for how long now? This is the proposal they’ve spent seven years putting together? They’re not really doing anything.”
Of course, it's false that this is all that has been proposed, and she's also wrong about how long it's taken to put the latest Executive Action proposal together. Much more aggressive proposals have been submitted during Obama's administration. And, other primarily administrative proposals like this new one have also been submitted to Congress, with the NRA lobbying heavily in Congress to defeat what they now label as inconsequential "hype."
Republicans are reacting much more dramatically, especially the GOP Presidential candidates -- as to be expected.
