We must all do our part as individuals.

This may not apply to any posters here, but it irks me that so many people bad-mouth the NRA as a do-nothing organization and they also refuse to belong to it, but then some of them criticize the NRA for not doing enough. If they had more PAYING MEMBERS, they could DO MORE.

This is not an issue of needing more paying members this is an issue of dereliction of duty on the part of the NRA. And I must point out that Gun Owners of America also needs to get involved in paying for this court action. In case no one has been paying attention, when we defeat an attack we do not win anything we just maintain the status quo. When we do not defeat an attack WE LOOSE! And the Constitution is weakened. There is nothing for us to win. We can only keep what is there. AND WE ARE LOOSING!!!
Read what Attorney Kopel says about the supreme court rulings that pertain to the 2nd, especially the part where one of the Justices all but asked that a 2nd Amendment case be brought to them
Where does one read this info that youare refering to?

Remember how many seats were lost after AWB passage? Vae victis!
Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

I think you will see that the stage is ready for a Supreme Court case. Over time the court will only become more liberal and left wing. When I look at what has been happening in our country I see that over the decades it does not matter which party is in office. National Debt goes up, taxes go up, the ultra rich get richer, the poor get a partial bone, and the middle class pays for it all, and as we drift closser to socialism we loose more and more of our rights. When I look at those socialistic democratic allies of ours I see the ultra rich still controlling their government, getting richer while the middle class drifts away and the people live under a very, very, but none the less a totalitarian government. And the NRA doesn't take the second to court. If it does not get done now it never will. mcaso
The Federal viktim disarmament scheme has finally failed. Looks like the matter is being left in the hands of the states.
If there is a bright side to this, it could begin to single out people throughout the states and get then ejected from office. I wouldn't look for this to happen in the states that have already passed AWB's of their own (Kalifornia, Neu Yorkk, New Jerky, Taxachussetts, Marxland, Illinoi, or Hawaii), as they've had their chance to do a power base shift, and I am still to the opinion that an Exodus must occur in order to isolate and strengthen our numbers in the smarter states of the nation, and leave the liberal cowards to die the death of a coward in a land where no one will save them, and they will not save themselves.

If the NRA makes an attempt to pass GCA II or FOPA II and come after the machine guns which are already legally owned, I'm glad to say they won't be doing it with my money.
But I only need to know one thing for me to maintain my NRA membership, honor their requests for money, and make the phone calls, send the letters, sign the petitions, spend my time doing volunteer work, when they ask me. All I need to know is the ALL the media people and the anti-gun politicians and anti-gun groups credit the NRA for stopping or slowing the loss of ALL of our gun rights.
It is ok for you to not want to help the NRA. He!!, Sara Brady feels the same way. But PLEASE don't become so much like her that you go so far as to wish and cause harm to the NRA. In any situation as complex as the NRA, gun rights, etc. without "knowing" I can tell you that I know that there are a lot of things we don't know that might change your mind.
JMHO, do as you please.

Everyone, Have it your way for all I care. But I don't need to listed dozens of dates, bills, actions, mistakes, shortcomings in a complicated effort to continue this argument. The NRA (and every single organization and person on this planet) is not perfect. Never has been, never will be..
