SB 2081 - NRA Takes Credit For
GRNC Amendments

Mark
Twain noted that “No man's life, liberty, or property
is safe while the legislature is in session.” So it
can be said that life, liberty, and property are now
safe… at least from the North Carolina General
Assembly that is.
In a recent alert, NRA touted SB 2081 as a pro-gun
bill and took credit for its passage. This is not
exactly correct. SB 2081 was not a pro-gun bill, but
it was rendered no more harmful than the federal “NICS
Improvement Act” by special amendments drafted by GRNC
and introduced by Senator PHIL BERGER. These three
improvements added by the diligence of Sen. Berger
softened the bill to the point that GRNC backed away
from its original opposition (at a time that NRA was
already neutral) to a neutral posture.
There is one position from which the NRA may take
credit for SB 2081 from, however; the federal “NICS
Improvement Act” placed mandates for states to pass
legislation similar to SB 2081. Since NRA backed this
bad federal legislation that “We the People” have been
saddled with; in a manner of speaking, they can take
credit for its passage. The acceptable end product
with the softening amendments were all due to the
diligence of GRNC and the pressure applied by you fine
people. Let NRA-ILA know that you are aware of this.
