Gotta agree.....it makes zero sense. 80 million people send in 50 bucks to the NRA annually and our problems would be much less of a problem.
I agree with all but the politician part. I am not a one issue voter, and most of those rated A+ are unfortunately part of "one of the two major political parties" ( trying to keep it as unpolitical as possible Mods). I am also paying towards a lifetime membership in the NRA.
Well , ya shamed me into it . I just rejoined ..................NRA does knocks on the door a lot. I got tired of them calling and gave them up for several years. I knew it was time for me to support them again and joined and did not give them my phone number. I do get emails and mail and I give what and when I want too. We need every one to support them now.
What situation would we be in? Where is the NRA every time California passes another draconian gun law? Im a lifetime NRA member, only because I was able to get a lifetime membership for like $125, but aside from that, Im in that group who is willing to spend $1000+ on a rifle scope and never give any thought to donating to the NRA. Yeah, it sounds so easy to get 80 million gun owners to vote for A+ politicians. The harsh reality is there are over 200 million eligibile voters in this country. Barely half of eligible voters take the time to vote, and even this forum has members who are "a gun owner but..." so the sad reality is that not all gun owners are going to vote pro gun. Meanwhile, of those 80 million gun owners who are registered voters, many helped to nominate a Republican candidate who has an anti gun history.Folks, "IF" 80 million gun owners voted for A+ NRA rated politicians we'd be in a totally different situation. "IF" 80 million gun owners peacefully protested at the capital steps relentlessly there'd be different rulings. "IF" 80 million gun owners would join the NRA we would be unstoppable. Why my friends with all these gun owners and pro 2nd folks does the NRA only have 5 million members? Shame on us. I have heard lame excuse after lame excuse. I know a fellow gun owner who will spend thousands on a rifle scope,but makes up excuses for not sending $35 dollars per year to the nra. His excuse they always solicit for more. We'll folks it's a never ending fight against freedom grabbers.

Welcome from another "naturalized" Tennessean.I am a life NRA and I agree with what New Yorker has to say. But the NRA does some good as does NYSRP. But I could not wait for things to get better in NY. So last year I moved to Tennessee. Should of done it a long time ago.
This is what I'm saying. We can pick at each other. Or we can stand together. Because believe me the anti gunners are standing as one to get their way.If the NRA did not support the 1968 GCA
If the NRA did not bend over for the 7N6 import ban
Sorry I dont support the NRA much
That said yet people need to stand together on guns not be in the camp of oh I only have a 30-30 you can ban that AR if you let me have my 30-30 aka Bill Ruger thinking
Ask yourself this, despite the one or two decisions that you did not agree with, are we better off and will we be better off if the NRA never existed or if it was disbanded tomorrow?If the NRA did not support the 1968 GCA
