Shotgun Minister expressed many of my feelings on this subject:
Grand Illusion (who is evidently suffering under one) provided the sterling example of what Shotgun described:
If the Association gets 'fixed', it will be guys like 38splfan that get 'er done. Kudos to you, Amigo.
As for me, I quit them several years ago. Too many compromises (read INFRINGEMENTS) of my 'inalienable right', along with endorsements of several candidates who I knew better than to vote for. NRA will never get another dime of my money.
Drivel like this, from gvf, is precisely why we need to hold the line.
*Hey- it's Christmas, so I edited out that particular destination. They can however go to certain parts of Memphis, Detroit or KCMO after 7:00 PM, instead.
You guys who are members- you are still my brothers in this fight. Just don't try and lay a guilt trip on me for my decision to invest my 'Pro-2A' time and money elsewhere. Divisiveness will only weaken us and insure our eventual defeat.
Arrogance is the reason I don't join. The same arrogance that is the base of these threads. The whole attitude that anyone who doesn't give money to a DC organiaztion is freeloader. If such is true than I submit that anyone who here who does not belong to a computer club is a free loader.
But that's different I suppose. Anyone who questions the almighty authority of the NRA is a bad person. (/sarcasm)

Congratulations. You and your organization are both on my ignore list now.I'm a member. If you're not, you might as well be supporting the Brady campaign. The NRA is the only organization that is actually accomplishing anything pro-gun.

What the hell is an 'illegal handgun'? Oh, I forgot. It's whatever you folks say it is. Next week, next month, maybe next year- you will say "ALL of them." Here's a reality check for you- I've been a cop for about 30 years. I will not confiscate guns from my fellow citizens, or arrest them for defending themselves. You will find me standing with them- not against them. I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, which is written in plain English. I intend to do just that. Anybody who don't like that can go to *.We also would feel much safer if the transportation and sale of illegal handguns was stopped
