Of the six, four were launched in 2019 leaving SAF Founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb to question the timing of the investigations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Democrats in control of the House, promising to push a full slate of gun control measures, that seems just a little curious,\u201d said Gottlieb, alluding to, among other bills,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/breaking-house-passes-bill-to-criminalize-private-transfers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-groups-nra-congressional-investigations\" title=\"Gun Groups Question Democrats Motive Behind NRA Congressional Investigations\"> H.R. 8<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/house-leadership-gun-control-charleston-loophole\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-groups-nra-congressional-investigations\" title=\"Gun Groups Question Democrats Motive Behind NRA Congressional Investigations\">H.R. 1112<\/a>, legislation that would criminalize private transfers and extend background check wait times from three days to 10 days.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/ny-cop-arrested-assault-rifles-prohibited-persons\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-groups-nra-congressional-investigations\" title=\"Gun Groups Question Democrats Motive Behind NRA Congressional Investigations\">NY Cop Arrested for Making, Selling Assault Rifles to Prohibited Persons<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAre these investigations legitimate,\u201d Gottlieb wondered, \u201cor are they a deliberately choreographed attempt to distract the NRA\u2019s focus when it needs to be concentrating on the battle now developing on Capitol Hill?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One can argue that the NRA needs all its available time, money and manpower to fight off the Bloomberg-funded assault on the Second Amendment. And any resources dedicated to clearing its name before Congress are resources not being utilized to defend one\u2019s right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been delighted to work with NRA on a number of efforts,\u201d added Gottlieb, \u201cincluding our successful lawsuits against the 2005 post-Katrina gun grab in New Orleans, the San Francisco gun ban, our joint challenge of Seattle\u2019s attempted parks gun ban and our ongoing federal lawsuit against a gun control initiative in Washington State. So, when we see this kind of congressional onslaught at the same time Beltway anti-gunners are trying to ram through an aggressive gun control agenda, let\u2019s just say our radar is up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gottlieb suggested that if the NRA did engage in some sort of malfeasance then it will have some explaining to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOtherwise,\u201d he said, \u201call of this may amount to a lot of smoke and mirrors designed to not simply distract NRA but to discredit it in the eyes of its members, supporters and allies when we all should be working together to defend our fundamental rights at a time when they are under unceasing attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 midterms marked the first time anti-gun forces outspent the NRA during an election cycle, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/everytown10-million-gun-sense-candidates-midterms\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-groups-nra-congressional-investigations\" title=\"Gun Groups Question Democrats Motive Behind NRA Congressional Investigations\">GunsAmerica reported.<\/a> There is good reason to believe that this will continue as the gun-prohibition lobby has shown no signs of slowing down.
