@Deleted User say hello to my little friend!

shot down in the blaze of glory lol

Whats the point @Tony Montana

@BlackDouglas Sorry what do you mean?

point of what?

Of joining the NRA?

Giving money to a group with a history of waffling on gun rights...

isnt just an armed populace better than having different groups of armed people?

i got 2 bros with guns, 1 is member of nra, other is not

the one that is the member of nra has the least guns

like a singular armed populace

My opinion is....there are a number of organizations that support gun rights. I'm a member of GOA (Gun Owners of America) and a couple others here in CA (because our rights are being trampled). But NRA is on front lines for a number of issues. When it comes to the "evil" black rifles the NRA hasn't always been the greatest. but they do far more good...in my opinion...

Good NIght

GOA are a lot more hard line on gun rights

Who else should I donate to? it sucks to say the 2nd amendment needs money...and members...

nite nite, don't let the bed bugs bite, dustin

If you want to protect gun rights, focus on people who influence culture/politics on behalf of the 2nd amendment

Night

people like Alex Jones do far more for gun rights than organizations like the NRA which are glad to take the money/publicity but have a shoddy record at best of actually standing up for them.

I agree with all of that...changing the culture...is most important. Take new people shooting...

True Dustin..

Encourage and educate

Politics is downstream from culture

I get that

basically he's saying for those pro to self protection vs those that are pro to self enslavement to protection services

Liberals.

youre paying for a promise from the NRA that they have a bad record at fulfilling. Those dang money thiefs

Didn't the NRA waffle on bump stocks as well?

I still feel my decision is a good one...I'm a single guy with disposable income...so I became a life member. I just wish we would stop giving inches...

Yes NRA screwed people on bumb stocks

bump*

So after seeing that...Why would anyone wish to join a group like the NRA?

so what youre saying is that you hope the organization that you pay to be a part of will changes their politics and get a little serious, however you have really no way of influencing change?

sounds scandalous to me

What I'm saying is there are only so many gun organizations to donate to....the NRA is the biggest one and does take stand on certain issues. Not all the ones I wish. That's why I spread my money around. More importantly I preach about the 2nd amendment to friends and family (have lost some). but losing some to gain more is worth it. I have a group of buddies who i single handedly got into AR15s and we go on shooting trip every year.

I get it NRA is not perfect...

Just keep your money..

way better idea
