"Anti-gun judges? What anti-gun judges? Harry Reid wouldn't do that to us, he's pro-gun."
Issa broadens DOJ investigation to include drug money laundering report
Also: GOA sounds alarm on anti-gun judge nominee while NRA stays silent.
An anti-gun nominee to the D.C. Court of Appeals may be confirmed for a lifetime appointment tomorrow with little gun owner awareness, let alone involvement.
“Using his power as Majority Leader, Senator [Harry] Reid made a procedural move last week to force a vote on Caitlin Halligan, formerly the solicitor general of New York and an avid leader in the effort to destroy firearms manufacturers using frivolous litigation,” Gun Owners of America warns in a release sent out today.

I guess the N.R.A. has been laundering drug money also as they don't seem to have a care in the world about anti-freedom (anti-gun) activity.
Jay-us, what is going to break out in the news tomorrow or the day after that?
The NRA never informed its members of the Lautenberg Amendment before it passed, either. I know, I was a member for twenty-five years, before seeing the light back in 1997. I notice that Chris Cox supposedly sent a letter to the Senate the day before the vote, but as far as I know, they never informed their membership, or at least not in time to be effective.
That's a laugh, though. Congress get's a real charge out of the response they get from NRA members, since they know the game the NRA administration plays in order to feather their own nests and remain the "premier gun rights organization". Yeah, right. Wake up, folks: the NRA is not your friend.
NRA is definitely playing both sides of the fence here. NRA opposes Halligan and (hopefully) other anti-civil rights* judges that Harry Reid fully supports (Elena Kegan, for example) yet NRA supports Reid. I dumped NRA when they gave Reid a "B" rating in the 2010 elections.
*Clarification for the statists reading this: The Second Amendment ("The RIGHT to keep and bear arms") is part of the Bill of RIGHTS. It's called "The Bill of RIGHTS" for a reason. I know you think I'm making this up, but check it out.
Darell Issa had better start taking some extra precautions with his security. Some of the most dangerous organizations on the planet are probably getting more than a little miffed with him right about now. Mike i hope you are taking ballistic protection with you to the big house. I'll be praying for both of you. Johnny Gee
Yes, it happened after I posted so I did an update--too little too late and no "or else."
Clarification of the clarification...
Actually, the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, as opposed to being an entity aside from or akin to it. It may well be referred to as the "Bill of Rights" but the right and proper reference is to simply say the "Constitution". Remember, once ratified, Amendments become the Constitution itself.
As for the NRA, well, after having a NRA lobbyist tell me to my face that a possible future rifle ban was more important to the NRA than the reality that the right to bear had already been stolen, that possible future transgression took precedent over actual infringement in the here and how, and after I watched the NRA play the "you gotta pass it to see what is in it" Nancy Pelosi card here in Illinois last session (the NRA and other local "gun rights" organizations crafted a carry bill, yeah... a permission slip structure, behind closed doors and would not let anyone read it or participate in its drafting until just days before the actual vote), after watching the NRA advocate more and more government control over a right it is supposed to have no authority over, and after watching 1986 Charlie Rangle footage that the NRA stood idle by and even to this day tries to defend as "the best deal we could get"......
I have no choice but to accept and share the reality that the NRA has become, if it wasn't always, the largest and best disguised gun CONTROL group in the country. To those still wondering if that is true, the NRA was silent about GunWalker, when a real advocacy group would have been a leader. Make no mistake folks, the NRA has more in common with the Brady Bunch today than with everyday gun owners. Those two groups are bent on keeping the argument going, so they can collect money as they claim to be fighting for and against gun control.
Sad it is, that the two have found themselves as bedfellows. But is it really strange?
A couple of weeks ago I got an evening call from the NRA. Can you believe the guy hung up on me? All I did was interrupt and tell him I'd come to think of the NRA as the enemy.
