Although I'm usually pretty cynical regarding the motives of the NRA in this case it truly seems they are going to be on our side.
I think they were sick of signing on late to stuff and getting called for it like in Heller v. D.C. and McDonald. A lot of people were starting to see that it was other organizations that were really pushing the ball forward and the NRA jumping on the bandwagon. Not that they aren't jumping on the bandwagon again but at least they are doing it sooner rather than later.
They've become more reactionary of late and it's my guess that they are trying to remedy that. If they are truly with us on this, which it seems they are, there isn't much better (or bigger) help we could get.
Keep being skeptical but don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Let's see where this goes.
