Did The NRA Betray Gun Owners?

National Rifle Association NRA
National Rifle Association NRA

WASHINGTON, D.C.-(Ammoland.com)- Did the National Rifle Association (NRA) let down gun owners? That is a question many gun owners have been asking with the passing of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA), which was part of the Omnibus spending bill passed by the U.S. Senate. According to the NRA, the answer isn’t as black and white as many would make it.

The NRA-ILA (NRA lobbying branch) released a statement yesterday on the passage of VAWA explaining their lack of pushback. It came on the heels of rumors that the NRA told Senators that the organization was neutral on the bill. On Saturday, AmmoLand News reached out to the NRA for comment on the talk.

The NRA-ILA points out that it lobbied for the so-called “boyfriend loophole” fix to be removed from VAWA. The term refers to dating partners of people being subjected to a protective order being allowed to own firearms. Due to immense pressure by almost all national gun rights organizations, the “boyfriend loophole” fix was removed from the bill. The NRA, to its credit, did lobby against that provision.

The NRA states it did not support two of the anti-gun provisions in the bill, but the gun rights organization also did not state that it opposed the measures either. The rumor was not that the NRA supported VAWA but that the organization was “neutral” on the bill. Many gun owners on internet forums and groups view this omission as proof that the NRA did not lobby against the bill.

The NRA claims that federal authorities are “constitutionally prohibited from making state or local law enforcement act on NICS denials.” The grey area is that the bill would authorize the deputization of local law enforcement. The question is if that deputization would make those officers agents of the federal government as well as local law enforcement?

The second part of that statute does not deal with NICS at all. It refers to gun confiscation for certain people. The prohibited people could be domestic abusers or convicted of certain misdemeanors. The NRA believes that this statute is just redundant since there is overlap with current federal law. Speaking to one high profile gun advocate who asked not to be named, he stated that because there is already a law on the books, we shouldn’t be OK with another one because now, instead of getting rid of one bad law, you must get rid of two.

The NRA-ILA also addressed the NICS Denial Notification Act, which was a part of VAWA. The NICS Denial Act requires all denials to be investigated, making Americans subject to a criminal investigation. The organization claimed that they could not find any source for the high rate of NICS denial notifications. According to the most conservative estimates, the false denial rate is in the double digits. According to the U.S Department of Justice, 94.3% of all NICS denials are “not referred to field, overturned, or canceled.”

The NRA-ILA also pointed out that 13 states conduct their own background checks. These are single point of contact states, and people are still processed through NICS. Thirty-seven states are not single point of contact states, and the Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL) must still contact the FBI to run the buyer’s information through NICS.

ACCORDING TO WHISTLEBLOWER DR. MIGUEL FARIA, the CDC has been caught in the past coming up with predetermined outcomes and finding evidence to fit its narrative when it comes to gun violence research. VAWA also included federal funds for gun violence research. This provision was not addressed by the NRA-ILA at all. This omission could be an error, or the NRA could have deliberately omitted it from their statement.

Many other gun rights groups pushed back against VAWA. A coalition of pro-gun groups lobbied Senators not to pass VAWA. These groups include GOA, NAGR, Independent Women’s Voice, Concerned Women for America, the Family Research Council, and Heritage Action for America. In the end, the bill was passed. Maybe the NRA joining the coalition would have made a difference. Perhaps the outcome would have been the same. We will never know.

In the end, it is up to gun owners to decide if the NRA betrayed gun owners or if people are overreacting. One thing is for sure; gun owners believe that the Senators who voted for gun control should be held accountable.

The NRA is dead to me until Wayne is gone!!

Wayne gone won’t change a thing unless his crew is bounced. The whole 76-rubber-stamp board is complicit, with 1 exception:

There’s a reason a lot of us refuse to support the NRA and say that those letters actually stand for “Negotiating our Rights Away.”

The Second Amendment is ABSOLUTE! Every gun law or regulation IS AN INFRINGEMENT and should be repealed. There should be no discussion or debate about it

Henry Bowman

Absofrickenlutely! The only good gun law is one that equips, trains, and supports the citizen militia at large (essentially every law-abiding citizen in the country from 18-60). If the feds were to give us all the military hardware we want, like what Dementia Joe & Comrade Milley did for the taliban, That would be a gun law I would support because THAT would be constitutional [Article 1, Sec. 8]. I would be happy to be issued Level 4 body armor, an M4, and a couple sealed battle packs of 5.56NATO that would be mine to keep for life… Of course… Read more »

In case you haven’t smelled the coffee lately, Negotiating Rights Away has a long proud tradition of betraying members and Americans 2 nd. amendment rights, over and over again since 1934.

Did The NRA Betray Gun Owners?YES

Montana454Casull

Which time ? Negotiating Rights Away sold out gun owners many times . Waine is not worth one red cent and he has destroyed the credibility of the NRA completely.

I will not renew my NRA membership as long as they employ LaPierre.

Jeff

I got conned into upgrading to Patriot Life and then the truth about WLP and his cronies came out.

JJ1

You’re not alone Jeff. WLP and his band of cronies on the Board have done a very good job of keeping membership in the dark about the corruption and misappropriation of funds for a very long time. See my earlier response to you, and vote only for Frank Tait on your ballot, and help spread the word to other voting members of the NRA that you know.

Roland T. Gunner

Three things: A midemeanor should never be the basis for lost rights, and in my opinion, felonies, once restitution is complete, should rarely, if ever be the basis for lost rights. Second: NRA has compromised our rights away for 88 years. And third: in Texas, John Cornyn has outlived his usefulness.

Wild Bill

I like what you wrote, except loss of rights, after paying one’s debt to society must never occur. That would be a non-judicially imposed life sentence, something the the judge and legislature did not intend.

So Paco the ms13 gangbanger with a file longer then your arm should be able to get a gun legally after serving his time ??

Sorry, it will take a lot more to convince me that the hard core criminals get a second chance to gun ownership.

That’s like saying Joe Biden should have a second chance for the Whitehouse.

Totally agree with you

HLB

That we pick at these things about the VAWA is a diversion. We need to focus on the fact that the Federal Government has no say in people’s weapons – no more than they can own half the land in the country. It is simply not allowed by the Constitution.

Or, we can play their game and loose.

What does the CDC have to do with anything related to firearms they now have been caught lying looking back at many years of false statements along with fictional numbers and poor math skills they should be disband.

The federal government under the Biden regime will continue to support radical groups in an effort to sway public opinion using taxpayer dollars.

This is what happens when you alter the rules of election to remove your opposition. Democrats lie and the media swears to it the liberal democratic socialist party also needs to be put out of our country’s misery.

“they store donates it for you but claims your donation on their taxes”

If they do, they are violating the tax code.

Since the practice is so visible, it is likely that no medium or large companies attempt to deduct donations they collect for others.

Medium and large companies that have retail transactions (whether it is brick and mortar or internet) have systems that are easy to audit.

I’m not sure of the point you are trying to make in your second paragraph, but it includes some inaccuracies.

Your third paragraph is untrue – why do you resort to personal attacks when I just indicated you were mistaken about part of the tax code?

What does your fourth paragraph have to do with retailers not being allowed to deduct donations that they collect from others?

I provided you information before to show that Warren Buffet isn’t the typical person in the upper 10%. He’s in the upper 1/10th of 1%.

The typical person in the upper 10% doesn’t have “tax shelters.” They pay high average tax rates.

Finnky

One does not need to be anywhere near the top 10% to have a tax shelter. I opened my first 401k when my income was $40k and have been sheltering money in 401k’s most years since.

A 401k absolutely is a tax shelter, as is a Roth, or a child or a mortgaged home.

Anyone with any sense who is not living paycheck to paycheck uses tax shelters.

Negotiating Rights Away supported the passage of HR 2640 (the Veteran Disarmament Act), and gaslit Republican Congressmen into voting for it too. NRA lied to its membership about the content of the bill, and having read the bill myself, decided it was time to terminate my NRA life membership.

I will NOT belong to a so-called 2A group that actually works to undermine our 2A and the Rights it guarantees, just so they can scare people into sending in memberships and donations. That is no way to run a nonprofit!

You shouldn’t have to write in Frank’s name. It should be printed on the front of the ballot. The names won’t be in alphabetical order; the names are rotated in the order they appear in random lots of ballots (it’s a bylaw requirement).

@JJ1, I was totally unaware of that. I heard his interview on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk radio and took my ballot out of my American Rifleman magazine to vote for him. I looked over the names not once, but thrice trying to find Frank’s name and not finding it. I thought maybe I could just write in his name under the printed candidates’ names. Then I flipped it over and saw the ‘write-in’ portion of the ballot. So I wrote in his name, city and home state. I don’t generally buy into conspiracies, but from what you just told me… Read more »

Charlie, that is very strange you didn’t find his name on the ballot, it was printed on mine. I think voting for him as a write-in should suffice though. I do assure you, neither Wayne LaPierre nor any of his enablers on the nominating committee want Frank Tait to get elected (which is exactly why to vote for him).

Good job of not taking “No” for their answer!

Although I agree with your sentiment, your comment will not reach the NRA because a separate organization is employed to count the votes.

Russn8r

If you wrote it in as a candidate name it’s hand counted & sent to NRA. Not that it does much, but it doesn’t make their day. I bullet voted for Tait & 5 write-ins the accounting firm will enjoy but Hammer won’t. And it costs NRA a bit more to hand count write-ins. Less $ for vampires.

NRA DELENDA EST!

Oldman

It says right on the instructions, “Do not write in a candidate that is ON the ballot on the first page.”

“bullet voted for Tait AND 5 write ins” = 6 votes. The form allows only 5 write-ins. Let logic & arithmetic be your pal.

When the same criminals that have corrupted the NRA still run the NRA, including the counting of the votes, do you really think you can change things by voting? Were you asleep during the last Presidential election?

You need to visit the Save the Second website http://www.savethe2a.org and help them save the NRA (if that’s even possible). Over the years, Radioactive Wayne has insulated himself by getting the bylaws amended a little at a time and stacking all his cronies (yes-men and women), so that he controls the voting for BoD members and thus removing the possibility of him ever being voted out. All because he was bad for the NRA since day one and was nearly ousted by Neal Knox’s group of reformers…

NRA has tricks to backdoor grabs they allegedly don’t support. e.g. Wink at pols: Don’t worry, you’ll keep your phony A if you vote for AWBs, Lautenberg, Sotomayor, etc. Put Bill Ruger, Father of AW & magazine bans on the Rifleman as a “2A Hero”. They OPENLY pushed Veterans Disarmament HR 2640. I was there when NRA helped Ruger “fix” the Cali ban to exempt his “sporting” rifles, enabling the ban to pass by ONE vote. They played similar games with the federal AWB. And LaPew helped Reid pass Obamacare. Just the tip of the iceberg of your betrayals.

You’re right over the target; you triggered the usual suspects and got a lot of sockpuppet downvotes. Thanks for the updated meme and when necessary, I’ll use it again!

While I could not factually state that the NRA is, or ever was guilty of anything unethical or illegal, the appearance of the possibility of such stirred my apprehension. To be certain that I wasn’t contributing to the leftists’ agenda against the 2nd amendment, I discontinued my NRA membership. Basically, I was in doubt, so I dropped out. BE PREPARED!

NRA is not your pal.
