.i won't join the nra or contribute to them in any way because the money will just go straight to the republican party
Ziggy, of the money the NRA gives to candidates 75% of it goes to republicans and 25% of it goes to Democrats.
The have backed pro gun Democrats against anti gun or even just gun neutral republicans
However, if you don't like the NRA feel free to join GOA (Gun Owners of America) JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership) or the Pink Pistols (GLBT and their friends, family, and allies for gun rights)
