Why Does The NRA Still Support NICS?

The NRA recently re-stated its longstanding support for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), a program that was originally mandated by the Brady Bill in 1993.

In a statement directed at the North Carolina Sherriff Association last week, the NRA said:

“[North Carolina’s] antiquated and inefficient system has been in place for nearly a century and was enacted long before the age of computers and computerized records. Unfortunately, the [North Carolina Sherriff’s Association] has determined it would like to continue to use discretion to deny permits to purchase handguns,rather than simply use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) utilized by the majority of other states.”

And the NRA endorsed Harry Reid for years and their excuse was weak. I suggest all leave the NRA and join the GOA, Gun Owners of America.

NRA is as DOA as the republican party. Both sold their souls to the ghoul of Social Marxism 35+ years ago…

Most of the combined membership of NRA and (R) are the walking dead… slowly being bled of their rights and their retirement money, too stubborn to admit it, and too lazy to stand up and fight.

I dumped the Repub’s in 2002, and the NRA about 5 years ago. And I waited way too long to fire each of them…
