NRA vs NAGR - some observations

Join, Support, Contribute to the NRA.

The NRA IS the largest and MOST active organization that the firearms community has to stand up and be heard.
 
It is primarily oriented towards the industry, but anyone can join as an Individual Supporter for an annual fee of $50.

So, does the NRA have your current contact information? Is it possible you inadvertently had them place you on the do not contact list? Anyway, I get emails and snail mail from them several times a week discussing issues related to federal and state activities.

+SAF Second Amendment Foundation they do alot of the legal battling

Anyone ever notice how none of those suits ever make it before the national media to be reported? Also, you never hear or read about the cases where firearms save lives, but only about when a firearm was used in a crime. And, they say the national media is not biased and one-sided?
 
National media usually doesn't cover local crime like stopping a burglar. Local news here (TX) has a fair amount of successful self-defense.

The national media will pick up a rampage though. Unfortunately, we haven't had a really clean stoppage of a rampage by a civilian. Results are mixed.

Not that I want rampages for media purposes.

I have notice that Inside Edition - a tabloid show does have self-defense stories - go figure.
 
The NRA still has preeminent voice among the DC crowd. Not saying that's good or bad, but it's a fact. I am much more aligned with GOA and 2AF's positions and methodologies of not doing deals with the devil, but I think there's a role for multiple gun rights advocacies. It would be nice to see them working more in concert and less in competition and opposition, but a certain amount of that is natural and even healthy.

On the whole, I think our advocates do a respectable job of representing our diverse community and have won some significant successes in recent years. Not perfect, mind you, but in this life nothing is.
 
I agree with csmss. The NRA is the biggest bull in the room, for gun rights in Washington, as a lobbyist. They have the biggest horns or the bull of the woods. This is mainly because of the congressional score card and the press. The SAF is feared in the court room, but so is the ILA branch of the NRA, and both have worked together.
