WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association has gone dark, but other
gun-rights groups say they're keeping close tabs on Republicans to make
sure that any new legislation doesn't see the light of day after the
shooting massacre in Las Vegas.
"Given the spinelessness of so many of the
Republican caucus, the best thing would be to get the leadership not to
let it come up," Larry Pratt, co-founder and executive director emeritus
of the Gun Owners of America, said in an interview with NBC. "If it
comes to a vote, they are going to be held accountable."
The fight is less about particular gun-control
measures — like a new bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., banning
devices that allow semi-automatic guns to mimic fully automatic weapons —
and more about what gun-rights advocates see as a slippery slope to
more restrictive regulations on firearms.
