Ok, let's take your logic and run with it.  How many Republicans have made comments supporting some level of gun control?  ALL OF THEM, including Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.  By your logic we should not only work to remove every single politician from office but we should work to destroy the GOP because their statements are indefensible.

Oh look, another fat old man with a break open Fudd gun opining on restricting people’s rights.

I say we ban bolt actions and break open shotguns, seeing as they’re not credible for militia use. Wonder what the bus-throwing Fudd brigade would say then.

For having a personal opinion that is different than the NRA's official position?  If that were the case then every single BoD member would be removed.  Even the 3 guys from this site that were on the BoD were not fired and they spoke out directly about Wayne himself.

That's all you got?  Go on dispute what I said.  If one member of the BoD stating his personal opinion is grounds to "burn it to the ground" then every Republican supporting some level of gun control is more than enough to "burn it to the ground".  You guys made up that logic not me.  So now defend it.

@SWIRE we're not talking about forum posts.  King made the offending comments in a media interview for an article in which he presumably knew he would be identified as the head of NYSRPA.  He was, therefore, speaking for the organization.  He used his position as leader of an NRA affiliate to promote anti-gun legislation.

Always fun to see SWIRE try and defend the NRA. Worth the cost of membership here alone.

I quit giving in the 90s when they basically bent over on the AWB. I then learned more about the NFA GCA and other gun laws we have and asked local NRA Affiliated Gun group why the NRA didn't address this and why they weren't fighting to get these repealed and all I heard was silence. Funny I had been to many NRA Training sessions and didn't even know machine guns were legal or suppressors never came up in any of the classes. I had no idea what a Form 4 was etc. But boy I must be a patriot as long as I can shoot one round every 10 seconds at 5 yards with the amazing training they offer. It's almost as good as the rules at the Fudd Ranges affiliated with them that demand NO RAPID FIRE and NO SUPPRESSORS or NFA Weapons. NRA supports the 2nd just don't bring things that scare liberals or FUDDS to our ranges. I guess those NRA FUDD ROs were like the original SJWs getting triggered by a scary black rifle being fired more then 1 round a second.

It was pretty funny to see them latch on to the Tacticool AR movement in the late 2000s. National Rifleman was the Fudd Magazine Of Choice then suddenly they were reviewing AR15s and Glocks once they got popular. 10 Years before they acted like they didn't exist. Then their marketing firm got cool people like Dana for the gun owners that think with their dicks and Noir to act like they were into SD/Tactical type shooting to vacuum up all those peoples money so they could support RFL and Bump Stock Ban.

Your single shot bolt actions and BB Guns are safe with the NRA at the helm.

Try reading the thread.  I've already said Tom King is an idiot who was running his mouth.  That is the only thing that has happened and my statement answers all your questions.  The NRA should not support any new gun control, period.  They should also work to gain back some of the rights we lost.

A question about your question of "picking a side".  Every single Republican in the House, Senate, and White House supports some level of gun control.  If you draw the line where did, then that means you must vote against every single Republican in office otherwise you are supporting the incremental gun bans.  Are you going to sit the next election out since there is no perfect candidate?

The part in bold is nonsense.  The leader of an organization whose status as such is publicly known, especially in the case of a high profile political advocacy organization, simply cannot make "personal" statements to the media regarding issues at the heart of the organization's mission.  Whenever he speaks to the media on such matters he is speaking for the organization he leads, whether he likes it or not, especially when his position is noted in the report.  The Army has PR people, but that doesn't give the Chief of Staff a pass to state his personal opinions on Army policy or US foreign policy to the media.

If he had those opinions and said them privately, sure rock and roll.  Fudd your heart out.

It’s not a personal opinion though. He is intentionally sought out for comment by the main stream news media in NY for every article they do on gun control. He’s acting as both a spokesman for NYSRPA and the NRA when he takes these calls for the press.
