How do you know they’re “active and effective”? I haven’t seen any press releases. If you have, can you please post a link? [More]
We don’t hear from them directly to see what they’ve discussed or sent up the ladder — or been told to send up the ladder — for consideration. What we see comes from the administration they report to and hardly gives us oversight.
So when follow-up queries to assertions like the 2A task Force is “Hard at work” are made, we get the same kind of non-response as I got when I asked for substantiation on how the FTC leads by example if their actions and statements don’t show us that they do.
That’s what we can expect when representation is excluded. If that doesn’t change, assume all that warm liquid isn’t rain. By not insisting on a seat at the table with regular feedback, the 2A groups are failing their members.
Now tell me just trust them and they can’t say anything because that would not be smart 3D chess to show what they’re up to. Don’t worry our pretty little heads about it. And send money.
My rights aren’t theirs to negotiate with, certainly not in secret, and a truism you just can’t get around no matter what excuses you come up with: We can’t have self-government without representation.
