You actually didn't prove shit in that thread because you were the epitome of a fucking donkey yelling hee-haw with their head in the sand. You would call it a victory if the NRA goes "hey look WA, they banned magazines up to 30 rounds but we kept your 10 rounders! WE WON!"
No, you fucking didn't.
You're the fudd. Here's why
1.) You support an organization that is full of boomers on their board and has an outdated perspective on firearms
2.) #KeepAmericaTactical. Why is it every NRA trade show I see or NRA convention it's all the legacy companies like Winchester, Remington, and Weatherby or Savage the only ones there showing the new Monte Carlo stock on their same derivative bolt action guns
3.) NRA likes to point to Europe for what they don't want (the ownership numbers). Know something fucking hilarious? A piece of equipment they were ok with putting on the NFA list (silencers) in GERMANY you are REQUIRED to fucking hunt with one. Know why? So as to not disturb the animals and other potential hunters in the area with the loud crack of a bullet.
4.) SHOT Show may have it's troubles with them only allowing in industry people and such and I will give SOME props to the NRA for allowing anyone in to their trade show. There's a problem though... EVERYTHING about the NRA screams old fashioned. You rarely if ever see companies like Sig show up with their new MPX to debut at the NRA. trade shows or a Daniel Defense booth. Why? The fudds are more scared of the young people with their new fangled AR15s and AK47s than the goddamn Democracts are
5.) The NRA signed off/ok'd shit like the NFA. Why? Cause it banned "gangster weapons". Need I remind anyone that the time period Italians were slammed against for racist shit as much as almost any other new group to the area?
6.) The NRA consistently flip flops on the universal background check stance as they see fit for the nature of staying at the forefront
7.) The NRA stays essentially fucking silent in instances of black gun owners getting a raw deal (*cough*Heller*cough*)
8.) The NRA in the 20s through 40s ADVOCATING for gun control restrictions that had an intent to reduce the rate of ownership among minority groups:

Based on the NRA's track record of dealing with shit like the NFA and Brady Act... if they had their way you'd be lucky to have a double barrel shotgun over a single shot muzzle loading shotgun.
Heston may have said "from my cold dead hands" but let's not ignore he was holding a fucking musket when he did so and not a modern rifle.
Oh yeah, there's also their lovely spending scandal:
They had a bonafide fucking Russian spy in a top area spot of the board or near the board.
Oh yeah, I also think bump stocks are stupid... but the NRA was perfectly ok with the ban on them. Another instance of "well shucks, they banned the bump stock but we kept you your magazines!"
I miss anything
@Falsedawn or
@RerouteToRemain ?
EDIT:
WHEN OLIVER FUCKING NORTH and BROWNELL throw in the towel on your can ass organization there's a problem.
