I'm Tired of Being "Nice" about the NRA Debate!

OK, I'm not really mad or anything and I consider some of the people here on the Gun Rights forum to be my friends, even the ones who bash the NRA. But I'm getting sick and tired of complaints about the NRA as if it never, ever did even ONE damn thing of value for all gun owners. Hell, if NOTHING else it has BRAND NAME RECOGIZATION for the gun rights movement that is worth millions of dollars to our cause. Just as putting the brand name of McDonalds, Coca Cola, Etc.,Etc. on a product is AUTOMATICALLY worth millions of dollars in sales and advertising just in THE NAME. And all the NRA demands of any interested party is 10cents per day ($35.00) per year for a membership. And whatever the NRA has accompllished they have done with a membership of only about 6% of all the gun owners in America as members. Guys, 6% is not even Jack bababooey compared to what it could be. And if you join the NRA, after three years of membership you can chose and vote on who the board members are going to be. Kind of like voting on your local school board members to determine the future of your kids education. I could go on and on but I posted a longer reply on the General Discussion Board under thetopic "Why Such Hatred for the NRA?". But one last word is that the anti-gun groups would dance in the streets if the NRA folded. So if that is what you want to see, then I guess you will be dancing along with Jim Brady, Diane Feinstein, Edward Kennedy, etc.
When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.

I do not think that anyone will say that the NRA has NEVER done anything to preserve some of our gun rights. The bashing of the NRA is because of what they have (or have not) done LATELY in regards to our gun rights. I, for one, only have a problem with the CURRENT administration and the direction they are going. They seem to want to compromise (by agreeing with the enemy) our gun rights away. I would hate to see where our guns would be, if they had not been around (over the past years) to at least, slow down, the assault on our rights.
I think we need every bit of help we can get. The NRA, GOA, RMGO, and ALL the rest. What we need to do about the NRA is to vote out the compromisers, and get the staunch supporters of the Constitution, back in charge. If we could just get them back on the right track.
I belong to a bunch of gun rights organizations, and give them ALL money. I have no problem paying the nominal amount they want for dues.

OK,well isn't it three years a paying member BEFORE I can vote? I gpt disgusted and quit a while ago...we may just be missing something here fox......For instance,If a paying member such as yourself,or a bunch of you all had a notion of ANY kind of HOW many of us EX members are waiting in the wings...Well doesn't that sound like a place to start?Let them know that WE ARE OUT HERE.That we DO care,THAT we will fight WITH them. Spose there is any way of figuring out just HOW many of us that ARE not members would join up and sign up others if things changed?LET THEM know friend...LET THEM KNOW We RAE here...and do wish things were different.In the meantime ,keep us informed,I will continue with GOA for the present.....and see where it all leads....L.H.
