The following is the text of a message I sent this afternoon to the NRA on their Facebook page:

I just wanted to reach out, as a member of the NRA, to voice my opinion on the new laws that Vice President Biden will be proposing on Monday. I don’t think I’m jumping the gun by doing this before he announces it, because I want the NRA to oppose any proposal he makes.

I do not believe that any compromise, no matter how innocuous, will be in the best interest of the NRA, its members, or the country as a whole. We have already compromised our rights many times in the decades since the National Firearms Act in 1934 was passed, and anything further may well be the final chip in our rights that brings them tumbling down.

I urge Mr. LaPierre and everyone at the NRA to vigorously oppose any new infringement on our rights, no matter their form. We depend on you to be the umbrella organization that represents our rights and interests in the national arena, and I hope that you will earn that trust in the coming fight.

Members of congress aren’t the only ones that need to hear from us.  Tell the NRA that you want no compromise.

Update – I received the following reply from the NRA after they put out their statement on today’s meeting at the White House:

“We have no plans to give away our gun rights.”
