Thanks, [b]ar10er[/b] and [b]shotar[/b] for considering my position in this.
So long as both House and Senate are run along PARTY lines, there is no benefit to the nation and the RKBA if you vote for a pro-gun DEMO.
When that pro-gun DEMO wins and gets to Washington DC, he will vote WITH HIS PARTY for Speaker of the House or Majority Leader of the Senate, even when he knows that by so doing, he will effectively put his pro-gun agenda on hold!
Think about John Dingall (D-MI) for a moment. He's on the Board of the NRA, but who doubts that if he and his PARTY win enough House seats in the Fall Elections, he will be voting for Richard Gephardt (D-MO) for Speaker of the House?
End of whatever pro-gun agenda you may have, Mr. Dingell, 'cause Speaker Gephardt will never let it see the light of day!
You'll be back to complaining to your fellow NRA Board members, well, if we could just get such and such an item up for a vote it would pass in a heartbeat! You have effectively turned over control of the Legislature to the RKBA's worst enemies!
How can that be called smart?
