Two thoughts:

The NRA, like so many organizations, has reached a point where the board can't effectively make a lot of changes.  The United Methodist Church in the same predicament with not enough majority to change the theology and not enough to censure the rule breakers.  Some sports and hobby organizations have, or have had, the same problem.  And of course Congress can't do anything to change the course of the Titanic.  They shuffle deck chairs, pick out new music for the orchestra, some shout warnings about a pending disaster, but in the end the ship just keeps going the same way.


NYC has been bent on exercising very questionable court cases.  Civil cases are being used to control people in the city and by a big stretch in the whole country.  The cases against the NRA, WLP and Trump are just them further flexing the power they gained from lesser known and lesser publicized cases.  Cases like Wallace/Adventure Outdoors, where they sent "agents" to make straw purchases then file a civil suit on behalf of the people of NY.  (The agents were not Feds, nor was this operation approved or run by BATF, nor were any criminal charges tendered.)  Wallace took a plea because there's no winning in their kangaroo court.  Like Trump, he found himself guilty before court started.  The court case was just to assess how much the penalty was going to be.  This is a very dangerous path NYC has gone down.   Unchecked they could sue most any manufacturer, retailer or even outspoken advocate anywhere for the supposed "damage" they'd done to NYC residents.

I was "guilty" of 2 felony crimes I didn't commit because I couldn't prove my innocence, and I suffered for it. I plea bargained no contest to a misdemeanor I didn't commit so the felony charges would be dropped. I got 3 days in jail instead of 2 years in prison, plus fines and probation, etc. Anyone who thinks it can't happen to them, guess again. If someone says you did something and has a friend or relative say they saw it happen, you;re screwed. Prosecuters don't care about guilt or innocence, they only care about prosecutions, and will go after anyone they think they have a case against.

Big Frank is right....prosecutions matter to prosecutors...not guilt or innocence. 

As Alf said...these bad prosecutors are geared up to go on a political witch hunt beyond their jurisdictions because they don't like us.  Which is OK for them so long as the "others" have faith in the system...but that is quickly waning.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
