Push for recall of Wayne LaPierre from NRA!

<< < (3/3)

The NRA should not have given in on this.  It is verifiable fact that the biggest mass murders have all been committed with things other than guns, and this fact shows conclusively that even getting rid of all guns for all people (except government and those who protect rich people) can not possibly deter a person from committing mass murder.  Giving in on this issue makes it easy for liars to convince the ignorant masses that gun control can deter mass murder, since even the NRA seems to agree.  So for this reason alone (and there are others) it was a bad move.  And not just kind of a little bit bad, but a big whopping blunder. 

Bump fire in and of itself isn't a big deal.  The problem is, after the election of what many of us assumed to be a loyal American as President, along with Republican control of Congress, patriots were expecting some of the more egregious gun control edicts to be rolled back, but now instead of that here we are taking a step in the wrong direction again.  It doesn't matter if it's just a little step, it is still showing that we are still going in the wrong direction, and that tells us that we will probably continue doing so.

I don't know how decisions are made in the NRA, but I doubt Wayne LaPierre made this one all on his own.  So I would like the NRA to tell its members who in the leadership supported this blunder, and who opposed it.  This is the information we need in deciding who to vote for.  If the leadership will not give us this information it means they are uniting against the membership, and maybe all of them should be replaced.  For now though the membership should be asking them to give us this information.  I have little doubt that at least some and probably many spoke out against it, and Wayne LaPierre might have even been among them (though I doubt it).  So the critical path to correcting this problem lies in finding out who was on which side of this decision. 

The NRA is fundamentally good, but anything as big and complex as it is has to be adjusted from time to time, and it looks like this might be one of those times.  And for the right adjustments to be made, we need to know exactly where the problem is.  Otherwise we might end up doing more harm than good.  So before we talk about replacing this or that person, let's find out what part of the machine malfunctioned.
