Goodbye NRA...Hello GOA!

The NRA claim to fame is strength in numbers numbers are hard for the politicians to ignore. Send your extra bucks to other groups and help them grow but keep your NRA membership. Your votes in the NRA election are just as important as any other vote you cast. Consider the choices and make the best of them. Otherwise, run for office yourself.

I guess I started a firestorm...

Like I said earlier I think the NRA has partially lost sight of it's intended goals. I too believe there is strength in numbers (and I know Klinton hates the NRA) I will continue to support the NRA-ILA fund. After hearing Larry Pratt speak over the past few years and viewing the GOA website, I'm convinced Mr. Pratt's/GOA's goals are more in line with my ideals.
 
Dropping out of the NRA is exactly what the anti-gun idiots want you to do. Then they can say, "The NRA is losing more members everyday" or "The NRA members do not agree with the NRA's position on gun rights". Don't give them that ammo. These idiots will use it against us. The NRA is not that expensive that you can't afford it.

Stay with the NRA and join your local organizations.

ARshooter,
There is no doubt that numbers influence the politicians. However, if GOA or SAF had the numbers they would be as influential as the NRA is now. Many of us believe that the NRA is steadily losing the battle for us because of their compromising position. The mindset of the present administration of the NRA is not going to change as long as we keep electing them and staying with them. The only thing that will get their attention is for many of us to leave them and join another RKBA organization that is more in line with what we believe is needed. The argument to get more active in the local organizations or try to get elected as a director isn't realistic. Most of us have many other things that occupy our time than RKBA, as important as it is. I write letters and do those type of things, but I have no intentions of devoting more of my time to it than I do. I, therefore, continue to believe that until the membership refuses to accept the current compromising position of the NRA there will be no significant changes. The only way to get their attention is to leave and try to make another RKBA orgnization powerful enough to do what the NRA is not doing. Regards, Jerry
 
I agree with AR shooter.
Dropping out of the NRA is exactly what the anti-gun hate groups want us to do.

I always view every anti-nra posting as possiably having anti-gun roots.

Whenever someone says he's dropped out of the NRA I always wonder if he was ever in.
 
Patrick,
Are you satisfied with the NRA? If not what do you think it will take to change it? If you just stay in as the best of the bad you aren't going to change it. I know you weren't flaming me, but realize I have been a member of the NRA since about 1957 except for a few years after the NRA endorsed the Sagebrush Rebellion. If I do drop out I assure you I have been in and have fought the battle for a generation. However, I am not so wedded to them that I am going to continue to support them when they are not doing the job, which they aren't. Regards, Jerry
