Well, all of us seem to have our serious gripes with the organization and it's operations (unless I've read the last 10,000 posts about the NRA all wrong).
The funny thing is, and I find this each and every time someone posts a gripe, that there are always 4 or 5 Hank Hill types standing up and holding the NRA banner proclamating "Well, they are the only effective lobby" or "They are the only dogs in the fight", or even "The other groups are ineffective".
Does anyone see the irony in this???
If everyone seems to see the folly of the NRA and we all wish there were a better alternative, why don't we all switch? Isn't that the only way the NRA will get the message, or likewise a group like GOA will ever truly get the power it needs to fight for us?
Idealistic, I know, but if we stopped sticking up for them and clinging to a leaky dingy, I think more of us would migrate to a group who better echoes our values and opinions of RKBA. Just a thought.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.
