Disturbing, but not surprising. What a great time for the NRA to be even more ineffective than usual.
Excerpt:
The debate in Washington and across the country continues to heat up. I will be testifying in Washington before the Senate and House Joint Economic Committee on September 18th and Pennsylvania Senate Judiciary Committee on September 24th. But that is just a small fraction of what is happening.
Unfortunately, the NRA is not participating in the current public debate — they are not appearing on television or radio — because they know that their representatives asked questions about the NRA’s claimed financial improprieties before they have to deal with the current gun control debate. The NRA isn’t even putting out op-eds. I take no stand on what is happening with the organization, but I only mean to comment on the gap that has created in the overall gun control debate. The vast majority of Republican politicians are hiding from the discussion because they don’t know what arguments to make. Worse, outlets such as National Review, Fox News and to some extent the Washington Times, that would typically be providing our side of the debate have been pushing lots of gun control falsehoods. That makes our role of providing objective, high-quality research all the more important.
