If you have a problem with the NRA fine. But why come on every single thread where they are mentioned and spread your poison? Why try to dissuade people from supporting what is still the most powerful and effective gun lobby in the nation? Wouldn't your time be much better spent offering positive alternatives that you think could do better than the NRA?

You come off as petty and miserable.

You could put that effort into pointing out some of the good stuff GOA and SAF are doing and there are dozens of other examples.

But you just keep beating that long dead horse don't you.

Pathetic.





I see this as conversation and debate, I have never bashed or called names or been a smartarse, unlike yourself. If you get butthurt that easy over a discussion, that's on you, not me.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Hippie, you still haven't answered my question. Fairly, I ask why support any form of gun control, due process or not?

I am posses at the NRA and the nuts who protested our largest outdoor show and we ended up losing more in the long run than if they would've used their head at the moment and realized what the people were doing for that period of time wad correct. But, but, even tho I'm mad about that maneuver, I still know they do more good than bad.

You two have fun screwing up every pro- gun thread that comes up, but don't run and hide when the NRA doesn't save your bacon some day and we with long memories come calling!

Really???

I honestly believe if you think about that, you'll find the answer yourself. At least I sincerely hope you do.

I'm AMAZED (although I shouldn't be) at those who will stone an ally because they aren't extreme enough.


If Chuck Schumer saw this thread, he'd be smiling that Grinchy smile of his...ear to ear.

the phrase "cutting your nose off, to spite your face" comes to mind.

The Pennsylvania Trappers Association motto is “united we stand, divided we fall. All for one, one for all”. If the NRA falls, so do our gun rights. There will be no other organization that will save us.

Nice dodge lol. And the NRA ain't in the savin our bacon biz, they fried and ate it up long ago. Even the Cincinnati revolt in 77 didn't stick. I have tried to point out the facts, I urge all to dig deeper and hopefully you will realize that there are better ways of support for those who actually stand tall for the 2nd. The time for compromise needs to stop, wouldn't you agree.

Sure, the NRA can sometimes do things not everyone agrees with. If you participate in the political arena at all you would realize that without the NRA most politicians would not know or care that the 2nd Amendment even exists.

Somebody explain how going to court after your property is seized is a good thing. Has to be a few on here that have gone through a messy divorce or had to deal with a jerk of a neighbor. At least hiring a lawyer probably won't cost any more than buying a new pickup.

Politicians fear not being re-elected. Lots of politicians want more firearm laws because their constituents do. It is how they get re-elected. In states where more gun law is not popular the politician goes to the NRA to get them to convince gun owning voters its a good law.

I am still waiting for a list of federal gun law the NRA is against. For awhile the "hearing protection act" was popular. Just don't forget it was the NRA lawyers that wrote the law requiring permission and a tax in the first place.
What happened to national carry since we are on the subject? How did we go from "shall not be infringed" to get permission and it is only good in a limited area?

I just read the last bit of this thread and it got me to thinking about contrarians; where has Hal been for the past couple of months? Not that I really miss his attempt at commentary; just curious.

I've wondered the same thing. Time to put out an APB on him.

Same reason I quit. I got tired of hearing about a deal if I renewed my membership for another two years, I'd get a renewal discount. This a couple months after I had just renewed it. Or, the gifts if I would receive for sending money to support some bill that had come up.


If someone tears down the American flag and puts another flag in its place, that person should get a free, mandatory one way trip to that country.

And that is the reason I I doubled up on my GOA membership and pay extra and quit the NRA. From GOA i get later and heads up posts and contacts I can write to etc. With the NRA it was mostly " we need more money " Why ... because the CEO needs a new Bentley?? Club compromise is not for me.
