An Explanation of the NRA's support of Project Exile

by Lyndell Rottmann

An explanation, in short, I've read for the NRA support on Project Exile is it shames the administration in failure. Project Exile aims to aid the War on Drugs, a favorite NRA scapegoat, and show greater failure to enforce the present gun laws. Clinton and company exalt the statistic that some 30,000 or 50,000 prohibited persons didn't purchase a gun because of the NICS as evidence of the success of the Brady law. NRA retorts that only a handful of those were prosecuted. With Project Exile, NRA will give the administration thousands more to not prosecute. For discussion, NICS delays 100,000 retail purchase attempts. Wouldn't Gore be excited? However, only two handfuls or so are prosecuted. Administration will quote the prohibited sales figure as success, while NRA quotes the few prosecutions figure as failure. It's a smear campaign.

However, this doesn’t mention that fact that even Reno pointed out. Most cases really aren't worth prosecuting. The various judiciaries don't agree on what a felony or misdemeanor is. I read one story where a preacher was prohibited the purchase of a firearm. The prohibiting act in his past was mooning the dean of students. Most of these delayed sales are not prohibited persons, but petty offenses of youth.

Secondly, the NRA tries appeasement on some issues, however, that is how Poland was subjected to the Holocaust. Appease HCI with licensure and trigger locks and they'll shut up just as much as appeasing Hitler by surrendering Poland.

Thirdly, NRA is so narrowly single issue they haven't read the rulings pertaining to the First Amendment concluding that a right protected by the Bill of Rights may not and shall not be licensed.

Prohibition was a massive social experiment in punishing the many for the transgressions of a few. I use the 18th Amendment and the crime wave of Prohibition for my support of gun ownership. The 21st Amendment, however, didn't fully repeal the 18th. We still have state and county Prohibition(s), and crime surrounds those prohibitions. Present gun laws look like the alcohol laws delegated to the states and counties by the 21st Amendment. Some counties like Moore County, home of Jack Daniels, are dry. I see a fast track to an 18th Amendment for the 2nd Amendment. Gun law is history forgotten; now twice repeated in the USA alone.

Remember the Prohibition!

Counter Commentary to One Point Above

The NRA's "smear campaign" is getting used to enforce bad gun laws. PLEASE go read what their "Project Exile" is now doing in Colorado, from TODAY'S NEWS. Less than a year ago, Wayne LaPierre took the stage with HCI in Colorado giving full support including members' monies to this BAD program. Since that time, the federalization of gun crimes have doubled. Not only does the federal government have NO BUSINESS being involved in crimes that take place in state jurisdictions, you will read in this current news story that people were arrested and charged in cases where there wasn't even any evidence OR witnesses!! And this IMPORTANT piece of information is sitting on a website that gives three times the space to anti-self-defense people than it gives to Real Americans.

Does the federalization of crimes mean there may be more criminals put behind bars, and for longer sentences? Yes, probably so in most cases. But is this worth the cost of innocent gun owners and Citizen Patriots - militia - being imprisoned wrongfully? No. NO WAY. Find another way to deal with crime and criminals without involving the federal government in state affairs, and stop calling for mandatory prison sentences in ways that could even POSSIBLY be used against the good guys. Stop Project Exile.
