The NRA: at it again
The National Rifle Association wants no part of a Rapid-City-based pro-gun group that charged Gov. Mike Rounds with supporting the confiscation of private firearms and drew an angry rebuke from state legislators for its aggressive lobbying tactics.
David Conway of Black Hawk, legislative affairs director for the NRA-affiliated South Dakota Shooting Sports Association, said Monday that the NRA had no connection to the group South Dakota Gun Owners and doesn’t approve of its lobbying style.
“Their methods at the Capitol are not our methods,” Conway said. “We choose to have a working relationship with state officials, whereas they choose to attack.”
No, actually your method is to wait around until some gun bill scares gun owners, act like it scares you, and then support it at the last minute when you realized you’ve lost. How about getting pro-active and attempting to introduce bills that repeal gun laws? Here’s a start: $200 NFA tax, Assault Weapons Ban, and the Hugh’s Amendment. That ought to keep you busy for a while.
