We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I don't know, Kelly. The NRA is a damn-good organization to have on your side!! Shoot, they're the biggest lobby/civil rights organization in the country!
But I do agree with you that the NRA is far too willing to compromise. Their support for the National Firearms act AND the Hughes Amendment just to make the gun grabbers happy is sickening!!! :cuss:
But I guess that's what we're stuck with for now, unless we can get some more hard line leadership into that organization. Larry Pratt for NRA president, anyone!!! :lol:
No... Forget that... LARRY PRATT FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!! :lol:

Where in the letter are you seeing this "absence of total support for Gun Rights?"
Can you cite a part of the letter that would lead to the conclusion that we are "supporting the wrong gun group" in some way?

Unfortunately, we have a political system where compromise is necessary to achieve any kind of political goal. In a perfect world, the 2nd Amendment would automatically protect our rights. But we don't live in a free country. We just live in a "more free than most others" country.
I think the NRA is better than the alternative.......no big organization representing any of our rights.

Kelly j,,
The questions and answersby the JPFO after the leter seem to fault the NRA for not forcing congress to bowat there will, politicians need to be swayed or judges need to vote in favor of your cause.
Just think what could get through congress with 80 million voting gun owners insted of just 4 million. Vote's tend to sway politicians!
"United we stand, devided we fall" Renew your membership, if you have friends that are gun owners and are not members, get them to join! Don't sit on the sidlines and complain.You have the ability to put muscle in the NRA, it is YOUR orginization!

Brownback said it best at the debate last week:
"I believe in the Ronald Reagan principle: that somebody that's with you 80 percent of the time is not your enemy, that's your friend and that's your ally."
Do I like everything my wife does? Nope.
Do I understand thereasoning behind some of the things she does? Nope.
Am I ready to switch? Nope. 18 years now and going strong.

No, you did. In your second post above. You said what was wrong with the NRA letter was: "Basically the absence of total support for Gun Rights, for a Start,"
