The NRA, for better or for worse is still the NRA. IMO it's still a worthy organization. They fight a political battle against politicians. The NRA is a force to reckoned with, but if you don't like them, at least support somebody. I do not want to be a politician or fight in a political arena so I'll just pay them. I did not say that I didn't intend to fight for my freedoms, just that I would rather not do it in that arena. It's a battle that started before the NRA and will continue until it is won by the opposing side because we (gun owner's) cannot win it. The most that we can do is keep what our Founding Father's gave us. Even if we regain some ground we will not have anything more than we started with. We're guaranteed to CONSTANTLY fight for the Second Amendment as long as it exists.
What the NRA cannot do, is to improve the way that the non-gun owner see the gun owning population. They can fight our political battles all day, but they can't fight a battle of popular opinion or culture. If we make the NRA the Maginot Line that's exactly what they will be. It is however OUR freedom to fight for and to expect the NRA to win it all for us is a losing tactic. Not to say that we don't have some actively involved members.
On average I would say that most everyone here is involved otherwise we wouldn't be here. I certainly don't mean to suggest that we're resting on our laurels, but there's always that guy out there that shoots down Google transmissions lines that makes the rest of us look bad. Even on my own range we have guys that come out and shoot up the range signs when nobody else is out there.
I agree. They aren't much different than any other politician, speak up!

I personally believe this is a flaw of with the NRA, they should be coordinating with other like minded groups - not stabbing them in the back. The only way they are going to change is if the membership complains about it.
