WE= the citizens of the United States of America
THEY= the leadership and marketing machine of the NRA.
Thank you for the clarification. One of the ways we citizens get things done is by supporting advocacy and lobbying concerns--like them. Like it or not, that's one way stuff gets done.
I'm not a single issue voter, but they are certainly a single issue organization. For other issues, I must turn elsewhere. It is certainly true that the politicians who can be persuaded to our side on gun issues have baggage in other areas. I can think of no solution, since it applies also to any other issue I can think of.
As noted earlier, I do not agree with everything the NRA does, and one of the things they could do much better is member contact and recruitment--just look at how many long term supporters prefer not to get all of that crap in the mail.
