I will correct my statement to say the following. Some people may gently point out the NRA's many failures while highlighting a few of their achievements. This will come across as constructive criticism and advice, not an attack. Am I right guys?
Just in case, I want to say I wasn't correcting you. I did not consider the violations had already started.
Anybody who says the NRA is a self-interested bureaucracy who will stab other, smaller gun rights groups in the back, try to hog limelight, interfere with pro-2A lawsuits, get special legislative exemptions for themselves, while plying the membership with alarmism, or similar uncomplimentary statements, even if true, would be violating the rules. So, I put up that little comment to prevent it before it started; in no way meant to say you started it.
Now, the rules violators, if any do get started, are open to criticism. Such would be fair. You were commenting on what others might say, not the NRA itself. So, near as I can tell, you wouldn't need to modify your post to be gentler on any critics.
Glad to hear you're becoming more active, DWCook. Welcome to the fight.
