Gave an example it was not welcomed it looked like so I'm out!

Your posts were very welcomed Law Dog.

I hate it when anti's intimidate good folks into being afraid to proudly stand up for the NRA.

Fast condensed version of this thread is: Democrats want your guns, traps and to ban the sale of fur. Republicans support the 2nd amendment, hunters, trappers the freedom to choose to buy or wear fur. AND............... the fence riders are confused freeloaders. (That's a period)

The NRA is kinda pro-gun but they are not and have not been pro 2nd. They never started out that way and when you look at there record since even before NFA, they have either sided with the Gov or went as far to write legislation with Federal gun laws. That is a fact, and this is subject matter that can apparently be seen in different lights. Why the hostility hippie lol.

Exactly hippie. There is a huge difference in not wanting to support one of the strongest gun rights groups in the planet and coming on every single thread that comes up about the NRA and bashing them.

If you don't want to support them so be it. But why do a few folks here feel the need to tear them down at every single opportunity? Why disparage members who do support the NRA? Why not just keep your mouth shut and quit trying to convince others not to join?

And why do the moderators continually let those 2 or 3 folks shoot their mouth in a way that makes some average guys run away from tMan

Let's have a open discussion about the NRA among trappers without putting anyone down. How about that?

Exactly. But that's not possible with danny and his co-horts.

Few will pay the bills but many will want to have say in that program that will never pay up but will enjoy the benefits of that program while not having a better plan or action.

Parasite is a critter that lives off others and takes without giving back, just the way it is and the way I see it!

Post was a question, reasons were given to answer the question (wether you agree or not), panties get in a wad and name calling begins. What is the NRA's stance on red flag laws?
The NRA is not a good offense, barely a defense loosing yardage all the time. Is the NRA in trouble, yep, but it is there own fault. The only reasonable gun control is a 3" group at 100 yds.

Not orgs just org. The NRA specifically. They wrote the NFA and their lawyers defended it in court. The NFA is the gun control act all others based on. That is 100% a fact. Truth. Not wrong.

I dont support gun control now, I never have, and I never will

You say differing opinions don't have a plan of action, yet the GOA was put out there and instead you decide to disparage and name call?

Never said a bad thing about the GOA never have no reason to do that!

I know people who shed blood for this country when they were called that wouldn't join the NRA and I can name two NRA members in my community who wouldn't fight when called. So dont be so holy.

DO you belong to the GOA then if so great then maybe if you join the NRA and see what you can do to improve any part of it then that's even better. If not for the GOA might never came about had we lost it all in the past years!

You don't see me bashing the GOA with the way they are doing things just pointing out the facts.

Exactly what the anti-gunners want. Argue amongst our own and bash the NRA. The antis reading this are smililing ear to ear.

Let me be more specific. This will not sit well with some. The last magazine had a full page add of men dressed in military assault gear holding an AR type rifle. It was not our military, nor anyone's military. If the message the ad was sending was about the qualities of the rifle, it would be better. That was not the message I got. The rifle manufacturer sponsor chose to marry his product with a paramilitary theme.

It is a free country and we have freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and our beloved 2nd Amendment. I strongly support and will defend all three. I just think the NRA should not pour gasoline on its own fires. No disrespect to the NRA or any member here. Just trying to think logically about how we can de-escalate the perceived Rambo image our opposition has of our NRA. We shouldn't march into this battle with blinders on. This ad was playing directly to the strengths of the opposition and I think the NRA should have asked the ad agency for a different photo.

I have a marketing and advertising background, so maybe I see it differently.

It’s sad it has to be that way Grandpa Trapper. But thankfully it is only a handful that can’t keep their mouths shut.
