Why would the NRA fight against a Texas law to spend $1 million on a campaign designed to promote safe gun storage? And how is it possible that the National Rifle Association lost a battle…against Republicans? Bill Whittle analyzes the risks inherent in the proposed new law.
UPDATE: Thanks to Member Bruce Johnson for this response to the underlying story from the NRA.

Wow guys. 18 minutes of speculating about a falsely reported event. I read Mr. Johnson’s post before finishing this piece and was able to cut it off after only a few minutes. Once the facts were revealed I just wasn’t interested in the commentary.
Easy for me sense I’m viewing this 9 days after it posted however the NRA reply is dated 5/31. Have you ever considered just taking something down? I know you don’t have a staff of people to hunt down the details of every bug-fart issue but it would have been nice to pick up the NRA response before doing this one. Tough job I know. Playing against the clock to be current and all the other crank-turning grunt work that has to happen just to post one of these. I get it. Still..
A turnip could make a better decision than lefties LOL SpotOn comments about “our kids” 👍🏻
The problem I see with such a government campaign is that the emphasis will be on making your gun and ammunition as “safe,” meaning as inaccessible, as possible. However, when something goes bump in the night, you really don’t want to have to fight your way past the alligators and remember the combinations to all three locks in order to get your gun. Of course, I’m exaggerating, but one could easily imagine a lack of balance in a government presentation of the issue.
Bill and Scott. I thought it strange myself. I found this on the NRA ILA webpage. They did not oppose the safe storage campaign. The media may be confused (deliberately or not).

Thanks, Bruce. I posted it above, and to the YouTube video.
Kind of sad, when the media uses George Orwell’s 1984 as their instruction manual.
“The Ministry of Truth”. The concept of doublethink is the ability to hold two completely contradictory thoughts simultaneously while believing both of them to be true. In Orwell’s book, doublethink was critical to the success of the Party as it supported the state-imposed practice of language control, or newspeak.
Video restricted here. Of course. God forbid if students are exposed to organizations like the NRA.
The favorite tool of the left – the candy coated, poison pill.
Even when the Left justifies their arguments with news items, no one remembers that news is news because the event is so rare as to be noteworthy in the first place.
