It's time, stop stalling, join now

Lots of educated, experienced, and plain smart people here. Other than the NRA, which group has the best track record for taking on the anti-gun groups? 2nd Amendment Foundation? Gun Owners of America?

As much as I want to, I just don't have the time to do the research. Many here have already done it.

Whats your opinion?

I'm going to donate to THR just because they allowed this thread to run:
https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ouse-dems-pass-gun-control-bill.885256/unread.

I hope it keeps going. I will join a 2A organization, but want one that has some clout. I've given my stimulus money to people that need it more. But the last one went to a regional 2a forum like this that lets us discuss strategies against the current anti gun push.

I'll join and put 300.00 to a good organization that has a good record.

Who's with me?

OK, you just cost me a donation to the NRA, and the 2nd Amendment Foundation. But how do you donate to The High Road?

Now 9 days after I joined JPFO with a 2-year membership. Getting plenty of emails and newsletters. Not one single piece of paper mail yet. No membership card, no pin, no bumpersticker, no brochures, pamphlets, no "welcome to the club" letterhead... Nothing.

Better they spend your money on protecting your rights than on unnecessary paper and postage.

Membership costs pennies a day. Seriously, a 40.00$ membership is literally 11 cents a day, but folks spending 3.80$ for a Vente', every morning, at Starbucks, and willing to put out 45$ for an extra box of ammo, claim they "can't afford it". I guess it's like tipping at a restaurant; either you will, or you won't.
Needless to say, mumbling weak excuses, like "I can't afford it" only serve to salve the psyche of a flawed justification paradigm.

Because, none of us want to hear it...

Let's not do another NRA war - however, don't forget your state organizations as they do a great deal of the local work. One of the threats that actually have come to fruition have been on the state level. State level action is more likely than national legislation, IMHO.

By now, most of us know the NRA situation and berating those who are on either side of the controversy accomplishes little.

With friends like the NRA, who needs enemies?

Eh. When has it *not* been the right time to do something, or the fight of our lives, etc. etc.? These refrains and sentiments aren't exactly profound.
I'm not against membership organizations but writing a check is an empty gesture if it stops there and not everyone has the means to do so. But for absolutely zero cost, you can just be the proverbial good steward of the RKBA/shooting hobby, and be just as effective or more in promoting it.

Gun rights at its core is a PR battle. We win that not by being a bunch of gun owners in a collective organization. We win it by being that regular guy/gal over there who also happens to own some guns.
