this list is worth a glance. For those wondering why enforcement of gun laws is gutted, financially, and that basic public safety legislation goes nowhere, these are the folks on the take from the same organization that chose to boycott manufacturers until they ceased research on Smart Gun tech.

You can't deal with irrational deluded people, nor make sense of their decisions based on those delusions, period.

[callmeslick]

I see nothing either irrational, nor deluded, about naked bribery.

[Tunnelcat]

It's not the bribery, that's normal even for capitalism. It's their whole platform to stop any form of gun regulation, at any cost, that's irrational and crazy.

[callmeslick]

when it has worked for two decades, how irrational can it be, from their point of view?

[Tunnelcat]

That's because, from their point of view, and I'm talking about the NRA and it's congressional members, it's rational in their minds to hold the views they do about preventing any and all gun control AND to take money on the sly to keep any laws brought forth well buried and dead, even though it's irrational to most sane law-abiding people who've been victims of gun violence. As for the site you linked to outing these hypocrite pro-life, pro-gun (an oxymoron by itself) congressmen, good for them.

yup, you are correct. I am of the mind that such lists should be compiled and published for most every lobbying effort. Or,as some wags have suggested, just make the members of Congress wear racing jackets with sponsor patches like race car drivers.

[Krom]

Not enough room even on their entire campaign bus for all the sponsor patches.

[callmeslick]

probably a fair point, Krom!
