Since the convention is so close to my domicile, I though it would be worth my efforts to drop in on the convention this year. I call the national office and was mailed show credentials. Have reviewed the mailing I have a hard time seeing why your basic one year, low-life member would be interested in attending. I see lots of reasons for the heavy hitters to go, but not for the likes of me.
Those of you more experience than me, what reasons can you give that would spur my enthusiasm to attend.
2A supporters are in a fight for our lives because of the bald-faced attacks on the amendment, yet I view the NRA's centerpiece show for FY2000 and I see nothing which would train us in the combat of interest group politics.
Am I off base here?
