Supporters of gun control boost lobbying

WASHINGTON (AP) - After the Columbine High shootings, supporters of
gun control saw a rare opportunity to win more restrictive laws. Seizing the
moment, they poured five times as much money into lobbying.

Yet their chief opponent - the National Rifle Association - still spent far
more on its lobbying against tighter gun laws, according to reports for the
first half of the year. The issue remains alive in Congress.

The leading gun-control group, Handgun Control, spent $340,000 from
January through June of this year, up from $60,000 during the same period
in 1998.

Still, Handgun Control's spending was less than half that of the NRA. Using
both its own staff and the help of outside lobbying firms, the NRA poured
$850,000 into its effort during the first six months of the year, compared
with $750,000 during the same period a year earlier.[/quote]

The NRA may not be perfect, but we owe them. BIG.

Morgan,

You got it man!
The NRA may not be perfect, but they are the best fire department we have. You don't call a builder when your house is on fire. You call the fire department first, then worry about rebuilding what was lost after the fire is out.

If you are not a member and don't want to join, at least send a donation to help out the lobbying efforts. These people are trying hard to put out the fire that threatens our RKBA.
