Rep. Bahr: The NRA is lying

In a portion of his newsletter to constituents, Rep. Kurt Bahr, R-O'Fallon , rips into the National Rifle Association, which has opposed the so-called Second Amendment Preservation Act, because of an amendment added by a Democratic legislator.

Last week the State Senate passed the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" SB613 out of committee.

  The NRA immediately started lying about an amendment added to the bill calling on their members to oppose this good bill.  While the sponsor of the amendment has several anti-gun bills filed the amendment is benign.  

The NRA however is lying to its members initially confusing the bills with this amendment. 

 It is sad to see a group that I and many members of the General Assembly belong to try to make themselves relevant through deception pitting pro-Second Amendment citizens against like minded politicians.
