NRA takes note

H/T Duane Rasmussen

Looks like the NRA is taking note of procedural votes cast by Senators. Chris Cox, director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action sent the following letter:

Dear Senator,

I am writing regarding the National Rifle Association’s position on several firearms-related proposals under consideration in the Senate.

S. 649, the “Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013”, introduced on March 21, contains a number of provisions that would unfairly infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners. This legislation would criminalize the private transfer of firearms by honest citizens, requiring friends, neighbors and many family members to get government permission to exercise a fundamental right or face prosecution. The NRA is unequivocally opposed to S. 649.

The letter goes on to refer to the “misguided “compromise” proposal drafted by Senators Joe Manchin, Pat Toomey and Chuck Schumer”. You can read the whole thing here.

Thoughts?
