Doug I understand your feelings and agree that the NRA has gone off the main goal on occasion but in their defense aside from the Origination CRTKABA (Citizens Right to Keep and Bear Arms) we really don't have a major spokesman or group to take the fight to the Government, because there are simply to many gun owners that will sit back and let others take the fight to the Government rather than get their hands bloody in the fight, it is sort of like the Vietnam era when the feeling was don't worry about it Charlie will take care of it mentality.
As citizens here in the United States, we are not willing to get involved it the political battles because 1. We don't think we are smart enough to compete with the Politicians, 2. The old "you can't fight city hall” mind set. 3. They simply don't care. 4. They forget that this Government is Of the People, By the People, & For the People.
If you really want to do some real good take the people to task for their inactivity to the state of Governmental affairs, their apathy to the Situation at hand, and help to remind them that this Government is a Republic not a Democracy, and that the Government only gets it's power from the Governed not the opposite, People here have either forgotten this or don't care, they are more concerned that the Government are taking care of every little thing that they need or want that they have lost sight of just who the Masters are in this Governmental body which is the PEOPLE. And to reinstitute the Teaching of the meaning of Patriotism, Love of Country and to again teach History in it's entirety, Good, Bad of indifferent, and again teach the Constitution to our children so they know where they stand as Citizens, so the Government can not pull the wool over their eyes and convince them that they know what is best for them, "BS"
Thank you for your Service, watch your SIX, and come home when the job is done.
