Yup, them and the Southern Poverty Law Center (even their name makes assumptions about a certain portion of the Union)
 
SPLC and their domestic terrorist watch...
yeah, um, what about the 'reformed terrorists' (from the 60's) that have been prestigious members or associated with it....

Some of you can slam the NRA to your satisfaction, but best you remember that less it (with ALL it's imperfections) we would look a hulluva lot more like England now than England does!


Hull no, it has it's warts, but truth be told if you don't like it then JOIN AND CHANGE IT!


To simply and continually bad mouth it and all those that are members in good faith is sad damned commentary on each and every one of YOU!


And yeah, I meant to add that you naysayers OUGHT to take a good look at what happened when the NRA was poised to cut and run to Whittington and Neil Knox and his crew literally took over and changed the direction of the organization..........THEY had the courage of their convictions..........how 'bout you?

Agreed on the value of our beloved NRA, but only two of us badmouthed the NRA prior to your post on this thread so it's certainly not a reflection on each and every one of us. Further, it appears they did so to make a point about shoddy tactics or selective facts/perspectives (dare I say even sarcasm…oh no, not THAT). I would be confident in assuming that the vast majority of us are, in fact, NRA members and have been so for some time. IMHO, we who pay our NRA dues, are pro-2A active, etc. have every right to criticize if we feel like it (recall the 1A before the 2A...). It's those of us that do NOTHING who shall not garner respect.

The first step to actually improving something is to actually identify what it's problems are. Its hard to change something, from the inside or out, when others throw a fit for acknowledging faults.

This thread hardly counts as "continual" bad mouthing and certainly nothing has been said against NRA members in general. I'd give the above comment a "pants on fire" politifact meter rating.
 
The Brady Campaign is truly anti-American. I'm guessing those who complain about the NRA on this thread voted for the President, and therefore have no credibility on a firearms forum.

That's a bad guess, unless you're adding a spread to it... I did NOT vote for the President (either time) and I have complained on this forum on a few different threads about WLP's ability to effectively sell/protect/market the cause at hearings, on TV, etc. IMHO, broad brush strokes are bush league and ineffective, which is what the sarcastic NRA-critical posts were trying to convey, albeit ineffectively given the reactions.

Anyone who owns a gun and believes in RKBA has credibility, as does anyone who actually VOTES. Re: my post above, 1A is as valuable as 2A and those who do NOTHING are the ones who lack credibility and garner no respect.

BTW Gordon, just replayed Half Life 1 & 2 for the first time in years - you can download them from Steam for pretty cheap!

If those who voted for Obama have no credibility on a firearms forum, which is a ridiculous statement, then those who voted for Romney don't either. I guess that just leaves those of us who voted for Gary Johnson.

Well they did vote for anti gun presidential candidates.

So what? One must agree with absolutely everything a candidate says before they can vote for him? Back in the real world...

+1 - we can't be one-issue voters. We live in a representative republic, not a pure democracy - we don't get to vote on each and every issue so you have to go with the least of evils (because they all make us :barf:, some just less than others).

Yeah just because you vote for anti-gunners that doesn't make you anti gun.:rolleyes:

Yep, and agree with the sarcasm. But what if you vote the pro-gun pol into office and he/she ruins the economy or enacts some other draconian garbage that takes away other rights?
 
Guys, I voted for Obama, and say what you want but Mitt Romney would've been a million times worse on gun control.
 
More than likely he would have been. The republicans wouldn't have opposed him as strongly so anything he wanted would probably have been passed.

me too (same as yours)

jerkface: again, NOT...which means NO, I didn't. Please stop making assumptions you cannot validate and/or painting with broad brush strokes. If you MUST know, I wrote in my daughter's name because she is 10x smarter than every moron on the ballot; I do not vote for any "career" politicians any more because politics should NEVER be a career. Our beloved Republic was not designed that way (short term citizen service or government convening/acting only when necessary) which is one of the primary reasons it is now useless on so many levels. Bring on congressional term limits!
