NRA Too Moderate for DE Gun Owners

Boy,

WOW!

Didn’t see this one coming.

Remember back when –

Back when the NRA was intentionally and recklessly riling up gun owners after the Newtown shooting.

Remember the inflammatory language – meant to incite every gun owners to go over the edge in extremist thinking about guns?

Well – the NRA might have started a movement then, that is now engrained in extremist fringe gun-owning America, that the NRA can’t even control.

The NRA started a movement that may turn out - - - - too extreme for the NRA.

The NRA has so enraged the extremists in the gun communit,y that it is now possible that we may never pass any gun regulation in this country – even modest regulation – even modest regulation THAT THE NRA, APPROVES OF.

Remember this

when reading the snips – definitely go read the whole story on HuffPo.

Delaware Gun Bill Defeated In State Senate

By RANDALL CHASE 06/27/13 09:41 PM ET EDT AP

DOVER, Del. -- A bill that would have expanded the ability of Delaware authorities to prohibit people with mental health issues from having guns was defeated Thursday in the state Senate even after being revised to placate the National Rifle Association and other critics.

The Delaware legislation had cleared the House with only one dissenting vote.

"I'm pretty shocked, especially since we compromised on our side" said Barbieri, D-Newark. "I thought we had appeased everybody, including the NRA."

After successfully pushing for an amendment to raise the standard of proof for taking away someone's guns, the NRA took a neutral stance on the bill, neither endorsing nor opposing it. The NRA had said it would oppose the bill unless the standard of proof for declaring a person dangerous was changed from "a preponderance of evidence" as initially written, to "clear and convincing evidence."

"We no longer consider the bill a significant threat to law-abiding gun owners," NRA lobbyist Shannon Alford told the Senate.

"Today, our phones were flooding," said Senate sponsor Margaret Rose Henry, a Wilmington Democrat. "... It was a grassroots effort at the last minute that really threw things off."

The gun nuts are now officially - out of control.
