I heard this a while ago on the NCGUN mailing list. It's too bad, but they're just playing politics, I hope the NRA doesn't see an exodus of members over this. I think the NRA is probably trying to either curry favor with Weasley or take drastic lengths to appear "non-partisan." I'd hardly consider Easley, or Roy Cooper for that matter "pro-gun." I'll be pulling the BBB handles in November.
Interestingly enough, my Pop was telling me that local gun owners back home, led by the MCRGO, told the local NRA reps that if they endorsed Fred Upton for the US House, one more time they were going cancel there memberships. The NRA decided not to endorse a candidate in that race this time. |

As an NRA member, I know that. But with the hatchet job that the newsmedia does on them, the general public doesn't. They may be going the extra mile. |

I thought it was weird that Batchelor didn't get the nod? When he's running against David Price? Fer,FK,sake! I met Batchelor at a friend of the NRA banquet, and they wouldn't endorse him????? I know Whit had the pro-gun endorsement in the primary, but both of them had A ratings.

agreed. the NRA will be getting some letters about this from me, i understand playing politics, but selling out a very pro RKBA candidate for one who supports gun rights when he needs to, to get elected is unacceptable. |

http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/special_packages/election2004/9894153.htm Both Ballentine and Easley got NRA ratings of A, from the article NRA goes with incumbents if they're an A. Still I don't like the idea of voting for a democrat, but I vote pro gun and against anyone who raises my taxes or bans my guns. Easely signed some pro gun bills and is for the lottery whereas Ballentine is against the lottery. I dunno, might vote for Easley, wtf. |

It is my understanding that Easley is the reason NFA weapons are now so hard to come by in NC. That's not particularly pro-gun. But, then again I think the NRA gave up on NFA weapons a long time ago. I'll agree, that it would be nice if Ballantine would support the lottery, but then again there are a several things I disagree with Republicans on. No where near the number of things I tend to disagree with Democrats on, but still there are a few.

NFA weapons are left up to your county CLEO.

True... But in NC the law requiring a "permit" complicates that. I read somewhere that Mr. Easley came down on NC CLEO's for issuing permits without meeting the "criteria" that he interpreted the law to require. I was told that this is why Harrison won't sign a form 4.

There is criteria in the state law you have to follow.
You can't just issue NFA permits. Machineguns fall under two statues, other NFA doesn't. CRC |
