Notice all this stuff from the local NRA folks came about after it was 'leaked' that they were working with Democrats on HB 88. No other 'gun group was participating in this sell out, just the NRA, and by association the Bridgeville club and the DSSA. Prior to this 'leak' the DSSA wasn't sending out any updates while these bills have been in hearings. Or what progress they were having with any of them.
To defend themselves they tell us these are done deals and they were just changing the stench. Yet if you look at some of these bills they could have applied pressure and stopped these things.
It's not like the story from the NAGR was a lie. It's that the NRA has been not doing it's job. Or that when they do claim to do their job the vote becomes almost unanimous for the bills passage, as pointed out by the NAGR.
But what's most important, to the NRA is that you only give money to them, even when they're hurting us. Prior to this 'leak' by Beau Biden the NRA/ DSSA has been slacking off and not doing the necessary things to insure these bills are defeated. And with just one Republican vote making the difference in many of these it does make you wonder what or if they're doing all they can to stop this stuff.
Except for the SAF selling out to the Manchin/Toomey bill I don't see where any of the other pro 2A groups are doing damage (or needing to do damage control) like what the NRA is doing in this state. You'd think that with the former President of the NRA, John Sigler, now running the show for the Republican party (Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Delaware) we'd have a good chance of not losing so many by bills one Republican vote in the Senate.
There were enough, or close enough, Democratic defectors that all they really needed to do was keep the party in line and maybe put pressure on one or two downstate Democrats and we wouldn't have any of these bad laws.Yet they couldn't even keep the Republicans in line.

What a shame that we have the two major political parties that believe the former.
