Shame tactics and hypocrisy-great recruitment tools.

Yeah, I'm sure motivated to renew.

i got your back guy's.you need me to join your trappers assoc. to protect those rights for ya's also? i'll do it if ya need me to.

I don't support the NRA. I used to. In spite of what my dad and uncle and granddad said about them. Then I saw for myself during the Clinton administration they cannot be trusted. Every now and then my assessment of them is reiterated. Kinda like the trapping groups that fail to support trapping.

I do support the right to arm yourself. If a person is too dangerous to be armed why release them from prison????????????????????????? Keeping dangerous felons incarcerated makes more sense than forcing a businessman to check your papers and do a background check before selling you a firearm. Why are mentally ill people who are too dangerous to arm themselves being released from hospitals?????????????????????? These are the questions to ask our representatives.

No law will stop mass murder. I bet it would be easy to go into a crowd with a tree limb and kill a dozen people. Most people will panic. One good blow will cause death. I bet a murderer would have 2-3 minutes of uninterrupted mayhem before someone fought back in most cases.

Remember in church those people that would just pass the offering plate? They also had high ideals and talked a good game.

You sound proud of this. That kind of attitude helps no one.

No need to buy your way to heaven, or to buy your salvation from Wayne LaPiere. God loves you, so much that he gave us the right to be armed. He doesn't give a flying fartsack if you send your check to a preacher, or it ends up in a politicians pocket.

mornin Finn

hyvää huomenta, pcr2

Is that Finnish for "Go take a flying leap through a rolling doughnut!" ?

i think he put a hex on me but not sure.

Hey High Flying Finn,

You Mis-Spelled Mr Lapierre's Last Name !!

You'd Better Show Some Respect And Apologize Because He's Your Daddy !!!

w

uh-oh,anyone asks i wasn't here.

When you were growing up, didn't your dad tell you to carry your own weight in the family? My dad did, and my chores grew as I got older and more capable. The same principle applies here and now to the groups that protect our civil liberties and rights. When we grew up into adults, we put away childish things. It is childish to enjoy owning firearms and complain about the one group that ensures you can keep holding onto them. So there is no hypocrisy here, Finn, but by those who want it both ways - own guns, complain about the NRA. And it ain't no shame to expect adults to carry their own weight. But it is shameful that they won't. And with a weak, moocher mentality like that, it seems no recruitment approach will work. Just sit back and complain, while everyone else does the work. You are lucky my dad wasn't your dad, or maybe not. You'd be a better person for it. Mr T, too.

Haha WaLlEYe, he ain't my daddy. I ain't no frenchy, I'm of purebred stock.

I can understand where Finn is coming from. In a perfect world people would understand the right to defend yourself is an unalienable right. Shouldn't have to give to any organization to defend that right. Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world.

What work?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


Going along with the last three major federal gun control bills? Act of 1934, act of 1968, semi auto ban and insta check in the 90's. How in the world is it in my benefit to support that????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am against gun control of any kind and against any organization that endorses gun control. Including but not limited to the NRA.

Some folks cannot see the forest for the trees....

You know, diggerman may have made a good point equating the collection plate at church to NRA recruitment. I am a Missouri Synod Lutheran, we believe certain things that make us different than Catholics or even other synods of Lutherans. We do not go around lambasting Catholics for not donating to our church, nor look down on them. If I were to donate to the NRA, who has a history of compromise, it would go against my core beliefs. It would advance an agenda I wholeheartedly disagree with. I mention this fact, not to be 'superior', or lazy. I do it because there may be others who do not agree with compromise and do not know there are other organizations to join who's beliefs align more with their own.
