Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- As the Nation’s oldest civil rights organization, we recognize civic engagement as a virtue, not a vice.
Liberty is reliant upon the participation of free people, and this includes the vast number of citizens and communities who are lawfully exercising their rights under the First Amendment to defend their freedoms under the Second. It is the tyrannical nature of politicians that triggers sanctuary, not the other way around.
The NRA has steadfastly defended freedom for nearly 150 years, and we have no intention of suppressing virtuous voices against governmental oppression—censoring is what our opponents do.

Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The VCDL has created 46 Second Amendment Sanctuary counties, towns, and cities in Virginia in just 3 weeks. The NRA has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It looks to me like the NRA is surprised that no-one in Virginia wants to “compromise”.
Unfuck yourself, NRA! Fire the corrupt cronies in the executive positions and on the Board and rebuild the organization! In the meantime, everyone else join the Second Amendment Foundation, the Gun Owners of America, the Firearms Policy Coalition and your state’s gun rights organization.
Negotiating Rights Away, licking their chops at the influx of panic money to embezzle, wayne and the bod are looking at new yachts as we speak. And people think that there is still a political solution Lol
Oh geez, of everything that could have been said, of all the statements that might have been forcefully projected regarding Civil Disobedience by individuals and local governments representing them, this one could best be described as one of the most milquetoast I’ve seen yet. Although, in all honesty, I’m not surprised in the least.
“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. no shame will he hide, will he hide cause he lied.
Yes he’s busy being crass, got his head shoved up his a**. Passing the buck just like his lies, he won’t hide cause he lied.”

Dear NRA:
You act like we need your permission or seal of approval. We don’t.
And we don’t need YOU.
MY statement on 2A sanctuary movement: Unconstitutional laws passed by agenda-driven politicians should be ignored.
Thank you…thank you very much. Elvis has left the building.
Indictments for the vermin are inevitable. Like too many rats in one cage, WLP and his BOD cronies will claw, bite, and eat each other alive in exchange for plea deals.

To the NRA sheeple:
If you think this is ‘civic engagement’ you are all fools.
This is Direct Action. Nothing less.
Wise up.
The original principles of the NRA are still worthy but the leadership has faltered. The left has apparently won, taking down the mighty NRA by dividing members and causing desention. But who exactly exposed this mismanagement flaw? Transparency is absolutely paramount in any organization which relies on contributions or volunteers. What must the NRA do to regain prominence? First, we must remove all traces of leadership that tainted the confidence of its members. Second, independent oversight of the books and eliminate any trace of the mismanagement of funds. Third, spell out what is expected of each person in leadership incuding… Read more »
If the NRA actually defended the 2A these “sanctuaries” wouldn’t exist. They’ve been negotiating our rights away for almost 100 years. By the way, these “2A sanctuaries” aren’t sanctuaries at all. Unless they’re refusing to enforce all arms laws, and arresting those who do, then this is nothing more than pandering for votes.
