Some people wonder why I am not an avid NRA supporter.
I think they do a lot of good. But I believe they shirk their responsibility at times. Case in point:
To right’s dismay, NRA stays out of Sotomayor fight
Possibly, if not probably, the most anti-seconds amendment nominee to date.
“Sotomayor and other members of the court ruled that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states, only to the federal government”
“Sotomayor’s court also ruled that the Supreme Court’s decision District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated the District’s law against handgun possession, did not go so far as to apply the Second Amendment to state law.”
“But a spokesman for the organization said it’s staying on the sidelines for now.
“Right now we have a lot of concerns and questions and we hope to have those addressed during the confirmation hearing and throughout the process,” said Andrew Arulanandam, an NRA spokesman. “As far as our actions, we reserve the right to do anything based on what we find out.
“All options are on the table,” he added. “As we speak today, we’re waiting for the confirmation process. A research team is looking into her record on our issue.””
Come on, NRA! What else do you need? I wonder at times if they are not in the pocket of the opposition.
