The screeches of pro-gun control groups are trying to blame the National Rifle Association for the Second Amendment sanctuary movement in New Mexico and other states.

If this is the case, so the hell what? That's what the NRA does. Boo-hoo!

According to Bearing Arms:

All over the country, county sheriffs have decided that their states can pass all the gun control they want, but they don’t matter. As I’ve said before, if a law is unenforced, it might as well not exist. 

The Second Amendment sanctuary movement has spread like wildfire. Multiple states have communities that have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries. 

Unsurprisingly, anti-gun groups opted to blame the National Rifle Association for this.
Now, it seems to me that Brady would want to provide the most damning information outright. In other words, if it had a slam-dunk email, it’d have provided it. 

Instead, what Brady’s seeing is the communication of a public servant trying to combat the spread of anti-Second Amendment legislation and reaching out to the nation’s oldest civil rights organization for help, and that group responding to that plea. 

While I don’t doubt there may be some emails lobbying sheriffs and politicians to oppose gun control legislation, I’m forced to look in askance and say, “So the hell what?” That’s part of what the NRA does, for crying out loud. It reaches out to elected officials in various roles to combat the gun control infection that has been sweeping the nation.
