Taking the "highroad" excessively can lead one to be a stooge or unrealistic fool.
You know, not only is this an untrue and foolish statement, your entire post sounds like you're trying really, really hard to sound wise. You don't.

Everybody asks for money. Give, don`t give but at least be a member.Ok, number 5 anti-NRA bashing thread this week here we go! Thanks OP.
If you want to enjoy your gun rights on the backs of those that support the largest progun lobby then at least show some respect. Sorry they bother you by asking for your financial support.
... Hey how are those 2 new Supreme Court Judges working out? Wake up.
I also find it hard to believe she would ask for $500 under the circumstances. Never say never though. You could have gotten an idiot on the phone.
i just love it when gunowners break bad on the NRA. They complain about the threats to their "gun rights" but refuse to contribute the price of a premium six pak of beer to help secure those rights: Go figure.
If it were not for the NRA, you wouldn't have a gun to talk about on this forum. You need to read more. If you don't like the solicitations, throw them out.
I'll never join the NRA. I noticed at a certain point that they participate in writng anti gun legislation. This has several problems, the first one being obvious- they should be fighting this legislation, rallying their members. I realize they claim to "soften the blow" but I reject this explanation.
The second, and bigger problem, is that they act much like unions "bargaining on our behalf" except that I , as a gun owner, never joined, and don't want to join, and I don't want them bargaining away my rights for me. The politicians then get to claim that "The NRA endorses this legislation" which is a HUGE enabler for them to do this sort of thing.

This reminds me of another problem. Many people think that sending a check to the NRA ="fighting for our rights," as if this is the only way to do so. I encourage people to get out and personally take action. And due to the reasons mentioned above, I believe that you are actually contributing to a group that diverts your energy that could be used in better ways.
I think they are a "Judas Goat." (google it)
This is a good point. Other than the generic term "gun lobby," the NRA is the only gun rights organization they mention by name. That shows how much they hate and fear them.jon_in_wv said:I would say the way the left gripes and complains about how much influence the NRA has in Washington shows it is at least doing its job.
