The NRA used to be a single issue organization. Under the leadership of LaPierre & co., it's become part of the Far Right constellation and it tacitly endorses the entire Far Right agenda. Just read LaPierre's screeds against "socialism" in the American Rifleman. Meanwhile it's gone soft on core gun rights, for example calling for regulation of bump stocks.I don't want to get into politics but I find your opinion interesting because the NRA is a single issue organization.
This progressive doesn't support gun control. Certainly an AWB -- which is what is being proposed here -- is a complete red line for me. I swallowed hard and voted for the Republican (Gillespie) as against the antigun maniac Northam in last year's governor's election. (I voted against him in the primary too.) Whenever the Democrats call and ask me for money, I make clear that I'm not contributing as long as they maintain their current stance on guns. (And I have given in the past -- that's why they call me.)Virginia is starting to make a hard turn towards passing restrictive gun laws. What type of gun control does "a proud progressive" support?
