The National Rifle Association has become a den of statist compromisers. It should be added to any hit lists.
Is anyone aware of a pro-second amendment organization which doesn't spend some of its money/energy on screwing up other important amendments? (The fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth are popular targets.)
The Libertarian Party. It has strongly supported the Second Amendment, and has not, so far as I know, tried to screw up any other of the important amendments. My problem with it is that it is a political organization, and the newsletters and local chapters are focussed on "inside baseball" of various elections. And the California State Convention I attended some years back was about the most boring thing I've ever been to. I suspect the Cato Insitute is also Pro-Second without screwing with any of the other good amendments. As Greg knows well, of course, the ACLU is to avoided at all costs. --Tim There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
