With friends like that...
Actually if I remember correctly no they did not.
Yep, they are good at taking credit for things other people do, and otherwise jumping on the bandwagon after the hard work is done. My understanding is that it was the SAF that took on both the Heller and McDonald cases, and that the NRA threw their 2 cents in after the fact.
Hey, if Al Gore invented the internet on his own....
Not to nitpick, but since we're all about proper quotes and semantics here, the actual quote was "I took the initiative in creating the internet", which is far less pretentious.
You'll note the lack of quotes, it was sarcasm. Good ole Al & the ARPA NET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
So I'll rephrase - the NRA often claims they got the ball rolling (or took the initiative ) on things they did little or NOTHING on. The NRA - while better than nothing, is full of people at the top, that are not true supporters of the 2nd Amendment, IMHO. Thus they pick & choose who they will help & who they screw over. Michigander brings up a fine example of how they "helped" us here in AZ.
