That could only be valid if the NRA's positions were consistent with the 2nd Amendment. Unfortunately, they're not.

"Reasonable restrictions" and "enforcing the laws we already have" are repugnant to both the letter and spirit of the 2nd Amendment and the larger right to keep and bear arms.


Edit to add: I am an NRA member. But the truth is the truth, and the truth is that the NRA compromises on the 2nd.

For anyone concerned that it is a phishing scam, read this thread, which includes people contacting the NRA to verify it and doing whois and a few other things. It seems to be legit.

whois.com is a good site. Check and see who owns the domain name of other sites, which in that case turned out to be the nra, which I did before anything else.

Yeah, because it's so hard to put false info in your WHOIS data... Why, it's almost as easy as lying on the internet.. Wait, that's precisely what it is.

DO join the NRA if you have not already. A membership here or with GOA or VCDL (although it is important to be in those numbers also) will produce a condescending smile and a snicker from an anti. Show them an NRA membership card, on the other hand, and they damned near go ballistic. And that's the proof of that pudding.

Personally, I think it's more important to support your state level 2A rights organization (AZCDL around here) than ANY of the national level ones. All of the most infringing gun laws are state and local laws.

I am also an NRA member, and plan to become a GOA member as well. I'd really love to see some (I love to see all, but I try to stay realistic) of the federal laws repealed or relaxed, but I'm far more interested in seeing changes at the state level where I live. Arizona is one of the better states when it comes to gun rights, but it's certainly not perfect, and there are some pretty glaring issues I'd like to see addressed.

True 'dat, o brother Slayer. But the NRA is the lead org where the staving off of FEDERAL overreaching and infringement is concerned. There are those here who bash the NRA, but face it, without the NRA we would be majorly effed.
