I always wondered how many people on this forum don’t belong to the NRA. I know there is no way to tell but from some of the comments on other threads, I know some aren’t members. I remember reading in the past that a gun club took a survey of its members and, although I can’t remember the exact results, it was surprising how many non NRA members belonged to the club. Just think if every hunter and gun owner would join how much clout the NR A would have.

Just think what they did in the 1930s and again in the 1960s, the authors of the model firearms control acts used by most states, and the 1934 federal act weren't they?

I don't particularly campaign against NRA, but looking at their history, I think financially supporting them is like unto keeping foxes in my chicken coop.
Do you think that if every hunter and firearm owner belonged to NRA that it could further contribute to firearms control?

Probably a higher percent then we want to know who is not a member.

To many people caught up on the negative to realize the positives the nra has given us.

If all would join the nra they would be the strongest organization in the world and would not have to give in on anything.

But unfortunately some won't join till others pay to get what they hold out for. Leaving us weaker and losing more ground from what they whine about.

X2. The Lt. Col. said the other day that the NRA now has 6 million members and in his tenure he would like to add another 8. Well that is all good but I don't think if they had 20 million members they would stop coming up with gun control measures and the compromises, it's who they are. What would be awesome would be if the 6 million members continually called, e-mailed and wrote letters to the NRA demanding they take a no compromise position from here on out, or stop whining about why their membership roles are so low.

The ones complaining most have nothing real to offer and do nothing about anything but think they will make a change by some miracle or they just like to play reindeer games. The NRA has made the difference for years this gun control BS has been going on for many years and the NRA has been there.

Always "that Guy" that lives for the 1%, unicorn, bigfoot chance of getting a fact right. Make a positive post and they will come to pee on the parade.

Seriously, you don't think that a lot of gun owners don't notice things like the bump stock stand Wayne took early on, and that it doesn't have an impact on membership numbers? Why would a PRO-GUN ORG openly support any gun control?

Start here.....

A...It's not a gun
B... the NRA didn't support banning them, that's just the anti's twist on them saying further regulations on them won't be fought.

Bringing a bit of reality of the compromises made in the past is hardly peeing on a parade. Join, don't join-matters little either way-but don't join without knowing the historical past of an organization and what that might mean to future potential compromises of gun rights.

Hippie, A. Never said it was a gun, however any part of a gun that is regulated or banned is gun control to me.

B. I never said he was banning them, I said his stand. Why would he make a stand supporting anything to regulate, support, forms of gun control?

Appears his plan has worked so far Catch. Gave them something to yack about and take their minds off AR's. And so far, you don't even hear about regulating bump-stocks anymore.
