There is no chance that I will join the NRA. I use their credentials, but they are far too deluded for me to join.

Thanks for your opinion - are you getting paid by the NRA?

I don't contribute money to any organization that large.
2A Organizations that I avidly support:
Ruger
Diamondback
Remington
CMMG, Inc.
DPMS
Magpul
EOTech
Colt
Beretta USA
Mossberg
Federal
North American Arms
Hornady
CCI
etc.
I will not directly support political lobbying. That in no way means that "my voice is not being heard."

One thing is obvious - Obama has singled out the NRA to blame and attack for opposing his liberal anti-gun agenda. That should tell us something. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

how have they helped your 2nd A. right :huh: when have they showed up in any court to argue against gun control?
Sometimes I think people forget the NRA is so large because there are many, many gun owners that support it and need that big of a voice to actually make any impact in our government and in the national community. I support and am a member of the NRA, and I have to say I have appreciated the extra effort and emails they've been sending out lately- it makes it a ton easier for me to email state reps and thank them for defending the 2nd Amendment or telling reps they're not getting my vote if they choose pro-ban decisions.
Now, sometimes they do some bullheaded stuff or make silly advertisements, but overall I think they do a fine job and deserve our support as gun owners.
As far as Ruger goes, they have 2nd amendment letters you can draft on their website to send out to congressmen. It might not be a whole lot but it is something. Different companies do different things to get gun owners to participate in the fight for gun rights.

I don't appreciate the NRA saying my industry is to blame for Newtown. Games, really. What next, suffrage and electricity are to blame for teen pregnancy? Wayne is good at making puppets dance and pay. Which is what politicians do. Politicians can't call everyone who does it a terrorist, so they attack those outside of their buddy club.drew said:I don't appreciate being told I belong to a terrorist organization by being a NRA member.

They do better than that... They make money and pay taxes. Also, I'm certain they are all invested in the NRA, in lobbying, and in whatever it is they can do to get Washington on their side.
