NRA’s head lobbyist on Glenn Beck
GLENN: So, last week when I told you there was a bill, there was this bill going through the house, it was going to make people soldiers, for instance, that, you know, had post-traumatic stress syndrome, they were never going to be able to get a gun again, and word was that it would go all the way down to people who had been diagnosed with A.D.D.. So I called Wayne La Pierre on the air. He said, no, Glenn, this is great. Then what happens? Then I get an avalanche of people who are N.R.A. members who are saying that that’s not true and that the N.R.A. is not doing their job, and from people who say, I’ve been a lifelong member of the N.R.A., blah, blah, blah, but they’re selling us out. The problem is, we don’t know who to trust anymore. Continue reading

Free Speech Sell-out: Good news and Bad news
From Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:
I have some good news and some bad news to share with you about the NRA free speech sell out.
First, the good news.
Our pressure is working. It appears the momentum behind the anti-free speech DISCLOSE Act may be losing steam. Grassroots outrage over the NRA’s sickening attempt to cozy up to anti-gun Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi is slowing down the bill.
Today, Forbes is reporting that Democrats are feeling the heat over their devils’ pact with the NRA.
That is good news, but the bad news is worse… Continue reading
Update: Wallstreet Journal confirms NRA sellout
From Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:
Washington is ablaze with news about the NRA’s abandonment of free speech.
Some of you still may not believe the NRA could strike such a gruesome deal with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on the DISCLOSE Act, which is sponsored by the Senate’s most shrill gun-hater, Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Those of you still not convinced need to view this morning’s Wall Street Journal editorial, which jumped into the fray, decrying the NRA’s sell-out and pointing out that their exemption is not only dangerous but abandons their natural allies. Continue reading
NRA cuts deal to limit free speech
From Dudley Brown, the Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:
Three prominent Washington D.C. websites are reporting what many capitol insiders warned of: the National Rifle Association has made a deal with the devil (i.e. anti-gun Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid) to limit the free speech of Americans in exchange for their carved-out exemption.
While some pro-gun rights advocates may think free speech does not matter or that nothing another gun advocacy group does should ever be questioned, the National Association for Gun Rights and I take a very different view.
Without the right to free speech, we are defenseless in the battle to save our Second Amendment rights. Continue reading

LaPierre endorses trigger locks and closing gunshow “loophole”
Mr. LaPIERRE: We have always felt, and I feel, that owning a gun is a
responsibility. And the fact that you have young children in the house, you’d
better lock up your guns, and you’d better make them inaccessible. And if
you’re criminally negligent, you should be charged and we support that. Continue reading
