Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Probably, but then it's largely a liberal organization, so I don't find that surprising. What's of more interest to me is how it behaves going forward - if it maintains its organization integrity/purpose, then it will support individual right to arm as laid out by the SCOTUS. Of course, this still goes back to the original point that the NRA is much better equipped (no pun intended) to support this sort of case on behalf of gun owners or would-be gun owners.
