It is fair game to discuss and debate the details of the best way to protect our right to keep and bear arms, but remember that the anti gun rights people want you to make quotes like that comparison. It is the strategy of divide and conquer. Those of us who fall victim to that strategy do more to weaken our rights than Nancy Pelosi could ever do.
As for my opinion on the NRA, they are not perfect, but they do more to protect our right to keep and bear arms than any other entity that I know of. That's enough for me. If you love freedom, and you believe that you should have the right to own a weapon, then you should be a member of the NRA or/and similar organizations of your choice. IMHO
BTW, the NRA does a lot of great things in addition to protecting our rights. Check out their Youth Education Summit that they do annually. Even some basic services like the Eddie Eagle Program do a lot of great stuff for our leaders of tomorrow.

The only thing that could be better than a group like the NRA would be serious revolution of thought within our country.
Or a mass plague wipes out bunch or those spineless, panty waist, liberal, socialist intelligence vacuums.

If one is a member of their choir the NRA will appear to be doing a good job. If one is not, the NRA comes across quite differently. I don't feel the methods of the NRA are particularly good at speaking to the non-gun owning population. The leadership has a "my way or the highway" approach which only works when you are in power. With the political shift of the country country over the last two elections perhaps a different tack is in order. :twocents:I agree, also they spend more time and money on solely speaking to gun owners(who already support their cause). The amount of literature I get and membership renewal pamphlets I receive every month is insane, spend the money on something more important.

They spend WAY to much money on Mailers and Phone calls and other crap to try and get MORE of my money!!!
I already dropped the coin for the Life Membership and was proud to do it but dislike receiving soliciting calls and junk mail constantly from them! I have told many of the "representatives" from the NRA that call me this very thing.
Spend that money on ways to help save my gun rights.

Right now the congress is working on federal language strenghtening interstate transport of weapons. Does anyone think that legislation would be attempted without the work of the NRA and a few other pro-gun groups.
Hey nothing is perfect in any organization or group. Everyone has their own idea about how a group should be run. But without a united voice legal gun ownership would be a thing of the past in this country. I didn't like getting all the requests for contributions and voiced my opinion to them and they cut it back. When I can afford it I give $$$ to help the cause. Regardless of that irritating mail factor I still am proud of being a life-member and recommend anyone who wants to continue owning guns to join the NRA.
Here is a link so you can get a free 1 year trial membership if you have never been a member, give it a try, the 2nd Amendment needs your support.

I'm sure glad nobody has chosen "Bad" or "Very Bad" so far, Maggy must not have voted yet.

Anyway we give money when something big comes up and when we can. My kids are all members too. Everyone that's a member says the mail is a pain in the a$$. But there is no doubt we need them and many other organizations too. I try to belong to as many organizations as possible, it is organizations that get things done.
Look at what SCI is doing for hunting, NWTF for turkeys, and the list goes on. Support as many hunting and gun rights groups as you can afford.
