what does the NRA have to do with state hunting regs?
https://explore.nra.org/interests/hunting/
Firearms regulations in general including those that affect hunting are of interest to the NRA.
So follow-up question.
From what I read, as I posted previously, you can find articles in NRA online publications about poaching and the potential value of monetary fines as an enforcement tool.
From what I can tell that is not an official position by the NRA, but nonetheless one they allow in their media channel.
If someone wants to argue that the NRA has no business having any opinion whatsoever on poaching laws, sure, there's a case to be made there.
so the NRA is anti poaching,, correct?
from your first post
but I see nothing wrong with poachers losing their firearms permissions in an administrative action. Maybe even for life. Losing hunting licenses obviously doesn't matter to them, but maybe risking gun access will make them think twice, if the prospect for being caught a second time is a trip to prison. Of course the bleeding hearts at the NRA will claim this is far to severe a sanction, and yes it would never happen. But I spend a lot of time year round on that public land, and there isn't a trail sign on it that hasn't been used for target practice. Say what you will about the tree-huggers, but they seem to wear less on the public lands.
when has the NRA stood up for Poachers rights?
In your mind you have me on the cross hairs, ready for the kill, but zoom out first on the text to a wider quote:
My original claim was the NRA does not favor penalties for poaching that involve loss of gun rights and/or prison. In some states that is the penalty for extreme cases, but nowhere can I find evidence that the NRA supports going that far. Do you?Quote:

If you want to argue that's not the NRA's job to take positions on poaching penalties, then that path is open to you. But if you're arguing that I misrepresented the NRA's position, you need to bring evidence. So far I've done all the heavy lifting and guess what my claim still stands.
in your mind you are paranoid when folks hold you feet to the flame (what you post)
you come here to post liberal thoughts and posts, then get defensive and accusatory when someone calls you out ,,
please provide proof of what you claim,
if the NRA has posted somewhere that they do want someone that commits a crime to be able to get a firearm (poaching being a crime) or that they want a lesser sentence for someone that commits crimes, surely we all would want to know,
usually they are the exact opposite,
I must say Lyman I am in awe of your super power to read minds of other posters. Heck you don't even need to read their posts, just sort of "see" the words on the screen to know that they're "paranoid", "secret liberals", etc.
Here's a tip: try going by what is actually written, not what you would like to think it means. Your crystal ball, dare I say it, is one of those crappy Chinese models that doesn't work worth a damn.
So are we done with this thread or what?
Okay so I found a NRA article that I like on the subject:
https://www.nrahlf.org/articles/2016...s-not-hunting/
Money quote (for me):
So...bingo! The NRA agrees with me....catch the bastards and treat them like the common criminals that they are. Had to dig a bit to find it, as they mostly want to talk about Africa, but there it is.Quote:
Poachers are no different from thieves who break into a store to rob a cash register. They trespass, kill and steal animals and fish illegally, often for profit.
I stand corrected, re: NRA and poachers.
I do, re the read part
try not to be as insulting when confronted, since that clearly stated in the rules,,
makes your arguments even weaker,
for someone who wants to talk things to death and insists he side is right,,,, to suddenly find out it is not everyone's thought, you tend to lash out when things don't go your way,
very predictable, and well, you know
as far as done,,, ask the OP
