https://www.saf.org/The Second Amendment Foundation does a lot. I still give to the NRA, and my State Sportsmen’s Association. I might give extra to the NRA because is makes certain people mad.

I keep hearing God and my creator in these debates about gun rights, but wasn't it our founding fathers that gave us our rights? God may have gave us the natural ability to defend ourselves. The founding fathers and the Constitution didn't "give" you your rights. Your rights already existed. The Constitution RECOGNIZES the rights that are yours because you're a human being. Whether you believe in a Creator or natural process it isn't hard to see that humans have an innate desire to... · Speak (or not speak) freely about ideas, beliefs, and opinions. · Believe/worship or not believe/worship · Share one's beliefs, ideas, opinions through various forms · Defend one's life or way of life · Tell your side of the story to your peers when you stand accused of wrongdoing · Expect privacy · Not have your life, liberty, or property taken from you without a trial to determine sufficient cause to take them · Have a voice in how you will be governed You get the idea...

While it may be true that no organization is perfect, there are organizationa who have not been party to compromise. There are many people, some even on this thread, who expressed sympathy toward's enacting more 'common sense' gun laws and or have supported the gun lwas now in the books. The NRA is perfect for those people, as it has a history of providing results they agree with. However, if compromise isn't your thing-quit singing the NRA praises, quit calling those that don't belong to Club Compromise as freeloaders and join an organization that more closely mirrors your conviction of no compromise. Or don't join anything-but if your convictions tell you no compromise it makes no sense to send money to compromisers. I have to admit that I haven't read much of this thread . Maybe this has already been hashed over but tell me what the NRA has compromised on. What organizations have never compromised and how long have they been established?

I'm not understanding what action you are taking Finn. Are you saying you won't engage in a legal battle with gun-grabbers because you believe that your rights are unalienable and therefore, by definition, cannot be denied?
Nobody expects you to understand MY action! I am asking you to look at and understand your OWN action! If you're fine with compromise, fine. Fine and dandy- if you're not fine with compromise.....wait for it ......don't give your money to compromisers and act surprised when your version of policy is never realized. I'm the curious type. I only ask for edification. You seem to be a very artful dodger.
Eh...wot?

Think the way I do or else. That's definitely what it seems like around here on the gun rights issues.

Its been seven hours since the last post. Hope that is enough time to run up a google search to find the answer to the question you asked. Doing the search yourself will be more productive to you than me doing the same (again) and providing links to the articles. Good luck in your search and i hope you find whatever you are looking for. Let me ask you this then, are you a member of any state or national trapping organization?

Certain issues some look for and say their same spiel over and over and over............ Who's the one pushing their view is the biggest question? ( I don't consider the ones defending their decision to support a group, or not as pushing their veiw apon anyone. It's when they look it up and tells others to do as they believe.)

What does a trappers association have to do with this discussion? You don't want me to delve into my state trapping association, or the 'special' northern trappers association of my state who's sole existence is to prevent non resident trapping. Let's not go there or the whole thread will go bye bye in about a minute and a half. There is, however a new association with the acronym CTM, that I may join very soon. Have you ever compromised on anything?

What FlyinFinn calls compromise I call betrayal.
