Does the GOA actually go after anti gun politicians, or do they spend all of their money attacking the NRA?
Although a staunch supporter of gun owners/gun rights, GOA has made the strategic error of defining itself as an anti-NRA platform for their advocacy.
GOA errs in thinking it is a zero-sum game.
No JPFO spends a lot of energy trying to point out the two faced tactic of the NRA.
GOA is focused upon gun rights. Often gets results in court.
You see the NRA is an ends justify the means organisation. Too bad they are not principled and forthright.
Please remember, the biggest threat to DC v. Heller was the NRA, not the criminals who run DC.
The last straw, and why I shun the NRA: In Virginia elections for State the NRA did not rank Dr. Tabor, who is a vociferous gun rights advocate. (He was at the Norfolk City Council meeting and the NRA was not). So the NRA endorsed Blevins, a mediocre supporter of gun rights. It was the Republican V. the Libertarian, no Democrat running. I have written two e-mails and one letter, but they have not answered me yet. I know that they never will because they are too cowardly to admit their mistake.
The NRAcertainlyis pumping out scary adds against Nobama, but McPain certainly deserves some knocks as well. Too bad the NRA didn't endorse Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin, both of whom are far more solid on gun rights.
