I bought a life membership and made payments when Clinton got elected the first time. I thought Clinton getting elected was the end of the world for gun owners. Was I wrong, had never heard of Obama!
I admit that the NRA isn't perfect, but what is? I would hate to think where gun ownership in the USA would be without them. Just look at Australia, Europe and many other places around the world.
Gun owners need the NRA just like trappers need the NTA and state organizations to protect our interest.
The "taking your toys and going home" comment is spot on. If you don't carry your share of the load whether its gun or trapping rights somebody else is going to have to carry more.
So man up and help protect these things for yourself and future generations. It would be great if all NRA members would man up and also join the GOA. We would as gun owners be a lot better off if the NRA stuck to what there supposed to be doing, marksmanship, helping kids etc. We need to keep the NRA out of the courtrooms and let the GOA handle that. I suspect that is the reason why the NRA's membership #'s may be falling off, they really compromise to easily. I'm not being facetious, going by the facts.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

There was a recent election for Supreme Court in WI. One candidate was anti-gun, the other was pro-gun rights. The NRA was very active in that race with mailings, phone calls, fund raisers etc., all of which takes money. Without their input I doubt that rural voters would have succeeded in offsetting the liberal Madison/Milwaukee establishment like they did. I , for one, am grateful for their efforts.

I suspect that is the reason why the NRA's membership #'s may be falling off, they really compromise to easily. I'm not being facetious, going by the facts. That is a ridiculous statement. Look up the list of NRA financially-backed court cases decided in favor of 2A rights. Two of the most recent are the overturning of California's ten-round magazine ban and the Deerfield Illinois Assault Weapons and High Capacity Magazine Ban that was thrown out of court. There are dozens, probably hundreds of other examples. Without the NRA in the court rooms, we as gun owners would be in a much worse place. Those are the real facts!

danny, I didn't start this thread to hear you and another groan and moan off tangent. Quit with the irrational NRA bashing or please start your own thread.

Some of their assault rifle adds recently have been "in your face" to the opposition. Wish they wouldn't show people in full military garb, who are not military. Seems radical.
I would really support a smarter NRA. They have walked away from hunters in favor of assault weapons. They are not member driven but sponsor driven. All print media is in trouble.

As we speak, the NRA is fighting Debby Dingles bill. Just b because you don't hear about what all they are SUCCESSFULL in stopping at the federal level doesn't mean they arnt fighting them. Educate yourself some and you won't look so much lo k e a whiner.

So let's get this straight if you dont support the NRA your a whiner, a freeloader and I believe Law Dog through something about parasites out there but his posts all vanished. Kind of sounds like the lefts tactics to me. Try to belittle those that dont see things the same way you do... There's not being a supporter, and then there's whining about it.
