N.R.A. worked against progun legislation

90 million! You could establish United States of Gunerica! Or US of NRA...

 

Never have trusted them. The GOA, JPFO, and the SAF have done more for gun ownership, never comprimising . Glad I've never been a member. I couldn't trust them with my info.

 

Geez guys it's real easy to stop getting all the crap mail from the NRA, and it's certainly not worth quitting the group. I got sick of all the crap but what really got me was being sent a DVD and then they wanted payment or the DVD back. I called and complained - didn't return the DVD or pay for it and have gotten almost no mail from them in years. Still get the magazine though because I'm a Life Member.

Just call!

 

I have no interest in carrying a machine gun in a state or federal Park. But if I did want to carry one it is none of the NRA's business.

 

GOA and JPFO get my money. The NRA is too close to the Washington insiders.

 

To the contrary, it is indeed their business but they are on the wrong side of it. Like many things.

 

IMO, they bend too much; but then again, so do we.

Where the NRA stepped across the line was they offered their "advice" on the subject. IMO, they had no business to offer anything.

 

The fact is that no Senator or Congressman on Capitol Hill listens to GOA or JPFO. Show me any legislation that their input changed the outcome.

 

As a NRA life member and member of every other pro-gun group I can find, I can say that none are perfect. Some are better than others, and yes, the NRA pisses me off quite often, but sometimes when you don't know the WHOLE story, you think something is up, when it's not. Yes, we DO need ANOTHER Neal Knox house cleaning! Of course the old guard, do nothing, play along crowd was out of power and screwed all NRA members over, but good, but if enough members were to stand up on their hind legs we could still turn things around and regain our rights. I don't see this happening, but I hope. Mean while, VOTE for good leaders (local/state/national/NRA) and keep the local politicos feet to the fire! Here in Iowa, the "pro" gun newbees are backing off and bending over from the PRO-gun ideas that got them into office. Wonderful.

 

Well said!

I belong to quite a few also; some times I am pleased I belong and at other times quite embarrassed I belong.
However the reality is so far no political party listens to the people; they listen to well funded groups who have lobbyists.

 

the Gun Lobby spent decades fighting as a well organized and loud, but very tiny minority. i suspect that much very cautious thinking about choosing which battles to fight remains even though they've now got the nation more or less on their side. its better then hopping in on one you cant win and screwing the pooch i guess but i might be somewhat biased. heller and mcdonald set the standard for gun laws more or less where i want them so i cant to wound up about failure to loosen them further.(not that i dont want them loosened further, i just dont care)

what.

those aren't the republicans i know. and those sure as hell aren't the democrats i know.

 

The way the AG lobby wins is when we stay uninvolved.

 

When they called me i told them what to do with their membership, shove it! I to went to GOA the national rectulars azzholes is what i told their phone sale idiot they were. Send me a free membership and it will go in the trash to with the rest of them.
