"NRA Has Got To Go!"

Yesterday, the professional Parkland protestors (now taking their traveling media-circus all over the country, bankrolled of course by Bloomberg) continued their vicious assault on the NRA & its members. Guns they want outlawed now includes ALL semi-autos, but their newest demand is that IRS revoke NRA's tax-exempt status.

Do these photos of mobs of ranting gun-owner-haters, as ignorant as they are hateful, make you (like me) feel helpless--especially considering the hero-treatment the media lavishes on them? There's only one effective way to strike back--support NRA. Moral support doesn't count--only $ can counteract the millions Bloomberg is spending against us!

Sorry Clinton, but close to two years ago I resigned my membership when they printed in the American Rifleman " Back ground checks are a waste of time " as most gun crimes are commited by stolen guns ... OR GUNS PROVIDED BT FRIENDS

Well... I personally do not believe back ground checks are a waste of time... in fact they are more important now than ever before in all our gun loving lives .

I want the NRA to show the world how responsible we are .

And when I resigned half way through my two years payment .... I got a nasty email in response .

Until the tune changes .... they get no more money from me

Personally, I actually agree with you on background checks, but to be hung up on that one point of disagreement with the ONLY "friend" gunowners have, is, considering the massive forces organized by money & the media against us, to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Been a member for almost 50 years.
Gave up the Rifleman magazine years ago as it was never ending
articles on the AR 15 or the 1911. Never any BP stuff.

Find it sad that the NRA has to defend a Constitutional right when they could be doing more to promote the shooting sports. Near as I can tell shooting competition is reserved for the shooting elite. Nothing for the person with an average bolt gun. Heck in Norway they have bleachers for the crowds at at the Stang shoots.

Well Jim , I agree ... it is sad. Maybe they should have spent more time promoting shooting sports instead of trying to be a political entity

And where, then, would the 2nd Amendment be? Before the gun-haters became well-funded & well-organized & most importantly, enlisted the unqualified support of the national media, NRA could, & did, ignore politics. Nobody wants to fight a house fire--it's what you HAVE to do when the fire breaks out.

My thought was that if the hand was played differently the house may never have caught on fire.

So you believe that if NRA had kept its head in the sand, all the gun-haters, & the left-wing pols who pander to them, would have gone away?

The dems hate the NRA because it represents millions of Americans who value their right to be armed. Background checks for all is just a dem strategy to criminalize the trading of firearms among law-abiding citizens. The dems and their politicians almost never prosecute a felon for having a stolen gun. Why? Because that felon is their client. Page one of the dem playbook: "Form a web of laws to cover all activity, then selectively prosecute one's enemies, while pardoning one's pals." Regards, Clark

Exactly. No shooting sports participation = no wagon for the Fudds to hook themselves to. Supporters of the 2nd Amendment are active in more ways than $25 every year.

To be honest the NRA is nothing but a huge money making corporation now. I stopped being a member when the back parking lot was filled with the cheapest cars being BMW's. Since when was a vice president who was never elected worth close to $1,000,000 a year and for what? To appear a couple of times a year on news shows? There are better and harder working Pro gun groups out there. They are the ones who got people in Washington, Chicago and other cities who wanted a firearm in their homes for protection the right to have those firearm. It wasn't the NRA. They were pissed off about it as both of these cities were part of the sacred cows that the NRA always yelled and screamed about but did nothing about as it was one of their big money generators.

I have been an NRA member since 1953. In my opinion the reason the liberals hate the NRA is that it is the NRA is the most effective organization protecting our 2nd Amendments rights.

Neal Knox, where are you now? There's much truth to what you say, & NO ONE in NRA is worth anywhere near that much dough. Reforms of the kind Neal pushed through decades ago are urgently needed, & it can be done now as it was then, but leaders would be needed to arouse the membership. Where are they?

But in the meantime, the fight for our rights goes on fiercer than ever before, and members withdrawing support from NRA even for very legit gripes is a dream come true for the gun & gun-owner haters.

No, if we got more people involved in shooting before the anti gun movement got traction they would not have left the launch pad. My theory anyway. Could be wrong. Right now shooting sports are some sort of evil black art to most of the population.
