Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire NRA Director for Virginia willing to Compromise

“Anti-gun billionaires who invested millions in the 2019 Virginia elections expect a return on that investment,” said NRA official D. J. Spiker. “The NRA is fully prepared to work to defeat Governor Northam’s gun grab – but also work to find compromise.”

"Compromise" - seems to be a recurring NRA theme. We can not afford for the NRA to go soft on the 2nd Amendment. Not any more.

Compromise is what got us to where we are at now. Ask California and New York about it.

"You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth."

The NRA is not our friends, and have not been for a long time. Invest in the GOA.

YOu guys scream "FAKE NEWS" for years and take every word as gospel to stab your friends in the back.

Why in the world do you hangers on do nothings keep talking about the NRA? None of you ever did a thing on your own. Where was GOA and all your REAL friends today? Why not jump right in there and show us how its done just one time.

This. They need to be completely defunded before they compromise away what's left of our Second Amendment rights.

Speak for yourself, I write legislation and get it carried in Tennessee, run a PAC and get good legislators elected, work the stump for them, I am very involved.

The person who was our NRA Lobbyist for the last 4-5 years was a registered Virginia Democrat who donated money to Northam.

Ummmm GOA helped organize the event and Erich Pratt the VP of GOA was one of the speakers. Aaaaaand we did jump in there and show you how it's done. The NRA was MIA. The NRA did send 4 pieces of junk mail, 2 emails and a phone message asking for money today though, so there is that.

Can you PM me his name if you get time? I'd love to make him my new hobby for a few days.

I haven't heard one single person from Virginia ask anything of the NRA in this situation.

Fugk the NRA.

We, the conservative right have been compromising for 100 years. It’s time for the left to start compromising! When you are compromising, you’re losing ground! memtb

Compromise is give and take.
How it should work.


We have been giving.
They only things we have gotten we have had to take.
There is no compromise.


Honestly.
From a gun rights perspective, Hurricane Katrina, and 911
are what has been the driver for most of our gains.

More and more people are realizing that the defense they can provide may be all they get. Not gun people. Many were mildly anti-gun.
They have just come to realize the need for guns.

There's no point to NRA when Gun Owners of America will do more with less. Send your money where it will count. GOA and your state organization.

I emailed him and chewed his ass, just got this reply. Hopefully he's being honest that they misquoted the NRA

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for reaching out, and thank you for being a member and working with us as we fight these terrible pieces of legislation.

Unfortunately Reuters misrepresented and misquoted a pre-packaged statement from our PR department that did not reflect the NRA's position. As a result of their mistake, Reuters has pulled the all references to the NRA and my quote in their reporting from the article today, which you can find here:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-rally/militia-leaders-warn-virginia-gun-rally-could-get-violent-idUSKBN1ZJ15B​

I assure you, we are committed to opposing all pieces of legislation filed by the Governor and other Democrats as we work hard for law-abiding Virginians, like yourself. I would encourage you to watch our press conference from last Monday on CBS6 to get a direct view of our position and our efforts in Virginia.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

She was let go this year, we have a new "Director" I have been reaching our for over two months as legislative Session started a week ago here, to no avail. when Daren LaSorte was our lobbyist in the early years he was a beast, and made them hurt when they went the wrong way, now we get the lobbyist interested only in access to the Power brokers, not what is the right thing.

I still want to work with the new guy, if he will ever call me back...

Virginia is currently the "front Lines" in the battle for the second amendment and the NRA is MIA..... but at least Wayne has fancy new suits....

Where is WFbear? he seems a little quiet lately

WhatsAbear went MIA after I asked him for his plan....Licking his gash we all figured is his excuse. 😎

Oddly enough, I've been emailing back and forth with the reporter for Reuters, Brad Brooks, about his reporting of the rally for a few days. I just emailed and asked if Spiker is telling the truth about being misquoted or if he really said that they were looking for a compromise .
