Doug,
All you sound like is an organzinational hater!
Please realize NRA dosn't have a a magical wand to wave to repeal all the acts that have personally caused you distress over the course of your existance. The anti side has been for over 100 years longer than just about any of the "other" organizations. They probably also realize to fight what incrementalism you must use it yourself. Now because NRA has so deeply offended you personally please explain why "NOBODY" else comes close to helping with the following.
MAN all of the credit and non of the praise. Most of you guys live in states that have CCW, or the right to carry a concealed handgun or apply for concealed carry permits in states like UTAH, and Florida.
Mercalf--One name MARION HAMMER ex NRA president. I guess riding on the shirt tails of others is okay by you, I was raised, HONOR above Personal GAIN.
Please let me know how much money GOA put into your state to help you guys get CCW.In Wisconsin its real closes. Then crossreference with GOA/SAF and then give me a figure, other wise stop trashing/enjoying something that somebody you hate so much is working so hard FOR YOU to actually practice. And FORKING OVER THE CASH to do it.
Heres the fact. Right now if it wasn't for the NRA.... YOU Wouldn't be allowed to carry PERIOD anywhere. Or have any cool rifle that was evil in BLACK or that looked good in a VIDEO game. Please please instead of just down RIGHT B****ing about 86 and stuff that has just flat out happened let me know what GOA, SAF or whoever has ACTUALLY accomplished. Due you enjoy shooting guns that use standard 30 round mags. You have that right back now because of NRA. Carrying a gun concealed you have that right BACK BECAUSE of NRA.
DOG WYOMING you have that RIGHT back NOW because of NRA.
If you show me some $ or something that GOA, SAF has given to get this stuff past or show me something, I'll agree with you.
This is looking a Gift horse clear in the mouth, because of one or a few things they did that one did not agree with However, I'm adult enough to read between the lines and sort out the BS vs what is actually real., and what people actually due. Youth programs, Womens Programs, Keeping Ranges Open, Protecting Hunters Rights, Fighting and forking over the cash to pay for CCW, protecting the manufactures from getting sued out of business so you can enjoy a free market of guns and purchasing the "BEST" of the best and not have to worry about whether or not there going to go out of business in a few years due to some silly law suit, Katrina.... Look stop complaining this is like what happened in Scotland during William Wallace life. The clans are there they all agree in a free scotland, but nobody is willing to come off their pride horse. I say UNITE the CLANS. You can bicker amongst yourselves or look at the real picture. Whats the future. If you really want to get out and do something, get out there, train somebody go to a organized shoot, compete, recruit another competitor. Become and Instructor and teach CCW or even Freaking BSA, 4-H Royal Rangers, Ventures, Explorer, Hunters Safety or whatever Do something besides turning people agains the only organization that financially and physically supports all.
NRA also pays its fallen LE officers families $25,000 If they are KIA. DOes GOA do this.
O If I lose, damage, my gun worldwide NRA has a $1,000 dollar insurance on all members
