Yes i can claim that, even as powerful as the NRA is they dont focus 100% on CA were as CRPA does.
Right, and as much as the rest of us are willing to help you guys out, we don't pay dues to the
National Rifle Association to have it "focus 100% on CA." That's why we support our own state and local organizations.
Also you dont think if every state had 2 million members in there own state pro 2nd that it would be just ass good as a federal 2nd group. Instead of one call they get 50.
State organizations may be concerned about what happens in other states (ever heard the expression "domino effect"?), but their members expect them to largely pay attention to what's going on in their own state.
Who would you expect to be receiving those "50 calls," anyway? When it comes to national legislation, each state organization can call that state's Representatives and Senators. It'd be pretty foolish for the president of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine to call Dianne Feinstein about anything, wouldn't it? Not just because she's not going to listen anyway, but
she was elected by voters in California.
The NRA can lobby pretty much anyone, and does so. Furthermore, having a national organization pushing for us helps show that "united we stand." We're not "just a bunch of moose hunters from Maine" or "just a bunch of good ol' cowboys from Texas." The NRA can call DiFi or anyone else and tell them that the voters of that state and all of the others are tired of gun control laws that do nothing to control crime. I think we both know how much good talking to her will do, but maybe other legislators will vote appropriately once they have the facts.
I'm not about to ask that I be exempted from paying a percentage of my NRA dues that might go to fighting ridiculous state laws in your state or any other because "that doesn't affect me." I personally think the PRK has too many Demmies at both state and federal levels, and maybe you're just getting the government you deserve. But stupid laws that get passed in your state might inspire gun-grabbers in other states, including mine, and that's one more reason we need a national organization keeping watch.
