Never even meant to imply that you made any sort of claim like that. It was a rhetorical comment meant to open dialog. As a side note I am referring your site to a couple of friends I have in North Carolina that are really concerned about gun rights.

I am an anarchist and North Carolina (and a few other states specifically) caught my profound attention by the inconsistencies of it's constitution. It becomes even more profound when one starts with the original constitution of 1776.

I applaud what you are trying to do but to me the goal of diminishing what should not even be is not a valid goal but it is a step in the right direction.

In my opinion North Carolina is a "college rich" state but all that has accomplished is to make it an ignorant state. Don't get me wrong, there are many intelligent and good people in the state but they are out-numbered and out-voiced by the ignorant.

Good luck on your endeavors and I look forward to the day that Section 30 loses that last sentence. Unfortunately that does nothing to address the one of the most egregious Sections:

Sec. 6. Separation of powers.

The legislative, executive, and supreme judicial powers of the State government shall be forever separate and distinct from each other.

Uprising? Revolution? Or just plain pissed off citizens defending their constitutional rights.

Maybe that explains your observation about other groups taking over from NRA, as well.

Now, that is an interesting point. We know the deep state includes republicans, many of the last few presidents were identified as having been in it, Bushes, Clinton and Obama. Reagan was the odd man out, just like Trump, and his politics showed it. So, just as the deep state has it's propaganda wing, and clients, it is no stretch to see the NRA as a member of the republican part. Remember, this is not a right/left thing, it is a elite group who think they can run the world better than the existing structure, and it is a global effort. It isn't clear yet where Vlad falls on this, being that he is essentially Russian leader for life, but that will all come out.

Someone asked her in an interview. What if u are indicted? I knew the fix was in when she laughed and said “that it’ll never happen”

It also annoys me that NRA will never endorse independent or Libertarian candidates, even in races where the Democrat and the Republican both favor gun control. I've long suspected that NRA is in the pocket of the GOP leadership.

BINGO! give the man a Cupie-doll! :)

I have very little respect for our government at this point. It is crooked to the core. Although Trump is dedicated to drainnig the swamp, its just too deep and wide to be drained in 4 years, and when a true socialist gets in there, or a crooked hillary type takes over, it will just get deeper and wider.

It really IS a war out there as Francisco says in AS. Its getting to the point where fighting with words will no longer be effective. At that time, either we stop paying taxes and bankrupt the government through passivity, or actively engage in guerrilla warfare. Both are bad choices, but in the end we will be in the same boat as the jews in nazi germany if we do nothing. There is also just leaving the USA

The liberals are waging a never ending fight against anything the populace could use to defend themselves against an immoral government. Thats what the fight really is about. They want defenseless citizens who will have no choice but to buckle under to the demands of the government.

Hopefully, one of the 36K sealed indictments are for her....she is a criminal, in several ways, destruction of evidence is just one.

Interesting, and thanks for the different view, it bears thinking on what group we do need. I just never saw NRA do much except yell about 2nd amendment and I thought they did just what you say they do, only I thought I just wasn't involved enough.

Well, there you go Kevin, this is a good example of how the deep state is working to get their way on many fronts, not just the feds. I am sure they can get it overturned, if just for the exceptions you mention, but also because it is all just wrong, and clear manipulation of the courts.

Never claimed to have written the state constitution, we wrote the current concealed carry laws that were enacted in the 90's and all the advancements since then, and while NC is "a collage rich state"...... We are winning again and again. we have also written a national reciprocity bill that has the support of 32 different states, and are currently working on Constitutional carry.... so yeah we are winning even in enemy territory.

But at least McCain will be going on to his reward soon!

That's funny, most of the gun people I know have abandoned NRA for GOA, CCRKBA, and other groups. Because while those groups were advancing liberty by pursuing litigation such as the Heller and MacDonald cases, NRA's leaders refused to back them, thinking the courts would only make things worse.

NRA is not "too committed to 'my way or the highway'". They are not committed nearly enough.

The whole right wing needs to be purged of cowardly "cuck" groups like the NRA. And I believe the market is doing exactly that.

Full disclosure: I was an NRA member in the '80s, long enough to have voting rights. Then their EVP Harlon Carter published a piece called "Winning the War on Drugs", which showed that his group had no respect for any of the Bill of Rights except the 2nd. So I quit. I have seen no sign that they have changed that attitude.

I had a former manager at work who decided not to join the NRA because they were not hardcore enough! He was a member of GCA (Gun Owners of America).

This problem arose directly out of Operation Choke Point, an FDIC program which simply declared all companies and individuals in certain industries to be "high risks for money laundering" and threatened to audit any bank which didn't stop providing service to them. Besides gun dealers, they targeted the check cashing industry, porn producers, and several other industries Democrats don't like.

So the problem here is not the Federal Government doing nothing, it is the Federal Government doing "something" when it ought to have done nothing.

Its called "war."

Quoting from the article: "New York state determined the insurance was illegal, writing the group has 'unlawfully provided liability insurance to gun owners for certain acts of intentional wrongdoing'". I assume they are referring to "Carry Guard," which is the NRA's insurance coverage for reimbursing legal expenses incurred after using a firearm in self-defense. First, Carry Guard is NOT illegal - it would take the idiots in UpChuck Schumer-land (New York) to come up with such crap. Carry Guard is very similar to other insurance policies available through such organizations as USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association). Second, it would take the IDIOTS in New York to define use of a firearm in a SELF-DEFENSE event as "intentional wrongdoing" - what a crock of crap. But again, we are talking about New York here. If not for Californicate and New York, Donald Trump would have easily won the popular vote along with the Electoral College landslide he received!!!

Interesting! But let me ask, are you claiming responsibility for the North Carolina constitution (by claiming I mean voted for) specifically Section 30:

Sec. 30. Militia and the right to bear arms.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing herein shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the General Assembly from enacting penal statutes against that practice."

Standing armies are dangerous in times of peace... that is unless under control of some unnamed civil power. Care to guess what that civil power would be?

Also would you care to comment on section 30 where to be infringed does not really mean shall not but can be portioned out.

North Carolina, home of Loretta Lynch and so many other psychopaths, is one of the most corrupt states in the union. And why not, it has more indoctrination centers than any other state.

Good luck on your endeavors, that will be a long and exhausting struggle.

Edit - typo errors.

The NRA was founded in 1871, the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) in 1975 (just a couple years after the notorious Gun Control Act of 1968). I am a Patron Life Member in the NRA, and the NRA isn't going anywhere, except "up." Back in the 1980s, NRA membership topped 3 million for the first time. Membership is now close to 5 million.

As far as I know, Lois Lerner is still a free woman...

Interesting, I do not really have a great attraction to National groups or parties for that very reason. Good for you to defend your rights.

Blatant unfair use of the law in order to destroy a political enemy. And some people wonder why congress is held in such low esteem. This is the first step towards firearms confiscation and the rising up of the gun owners, who along with every other craziness coming out of D.C. will finally say "Enough!" and I hate to imagine what happens after that.
