I'm upset with this month's issue of American Rifleman. It contains an article that really pumps up the NRA and all the great things they do for firearm owners across the country. It also mentions the draconian laws and regulations of states like California, New Jersey, Maryland, and of course, Massachusetts. There is one statement, however that sums up the postion of the NRA, at least here in MA. That statement is: "where the political realities allow...". The context suggests that the NRA will fight for 2A rights only where it is politically expedient (read: where they have an excellent chance of winning). I strongly disagree. I want the NRA to be proactive and fight (spend) harder in the states where 2A rights are challenged the most. Believe me, I'm thrilled that the NRA is working to keep laws reasonable in Florida and Texas, but we need their resources here in MA now. Yes, I know GOAL is an adjunct of the NRA but I'd rather see the big dog here doing whatever possible to help us out, political reality be damned.
