ATF has been blatantly abusing Red's Trading Post for almost a year now and trying to shut them down over a tiny amount of paperwork errors. Finally the NRA-ILA says something. It's not available on NRA's website (heaven forbid nra publicize such blatant atf abuse), but nra's ILA (institute for legislative action) finally acknowledges Red's existence.

Considering the gravity of the situation (the blatant shutting down of gun dealers for no legitimate or even legal reason), I find nra's comment absolutely incredible. It feels like nra is being forced to comment on something they wish to ignore. Hey if I'm wrong then GREAT. I want to be wrong about that. I would like to think that nra cares about what the atf is doing to Red's. I just think nra's late comment is beyond weak.
The atf is so out of control (citizen control that is) that I believe that nra should have an entire section of their ILA website devoted to the rampant, ongoing, and blatant abuse from this awful agency. Is that really a lot to ask?
If you disagree with me, please do not play the tired old worn out card of accusing people of "nra bashing." State some specifics and make a counter argument if you think I'm wrong here. I think this is a legitimate issue. I think nra's response (or lack thereof) is a legitimate issue.
The nra incredibly uses the word "hope" and "reform" at the end of that statement. They seem to be saying that they are not going to do anything but "hope" when it comes to the blatant abuse of Red's. NRA seems to be refusing to publicize what atf is up to here. If nra simply contributed a little money to Red's legal bills, people would be more willing to contribute to nra.
By the way, did nra ever come to aid of KT Ordnance or Hollis Fincher in any way (verbal assistance counts I believe)? If nra did then PLEASE tell me because I'm not aware of any help from nra. I believe silence helps the BATFE in it's evil agenda.
