You just don't like the fact that I have the right to critique the NRA.

And, where did "we" go wrong?Instead of considering where you went wrong...
.
Perhaps the question should be:
Why didn't Mr Gottlieb plan early, fund a war chest?
Maybe SAF too tiny to matter? Smoke and mirrors?
Well Gottlieb did run Protect Our Gun Rights which did solicit funds. But I think it was a mistake that they chose only to run a pro I-591 campaign, rather than an anti I-594 campaign. It was clear at least two months ago, and maybe more, that alot of gun owners were unhappy with the second part of I-591 -- the part about a national standard for background checks.
And, where did "we" go wrong?
How should have "we" fought against 10 million dollars poured into the pro I-594 initiative?
Let's hear Mr. Benjamin?
SAF is very good at litigation, it is obvious they are out of their element when it comes to political campaigns and legislation. they should hire political consultant and campaign managers asap. or just stick to litigation and coordinate with the NRA on legislation, which the NRA is good at.
these same bloomy initatives are coming to OR as well. hope you guys are ready.
Wow, that is sad then! Because We ALL get S Crewed in the end!Gotleib and the rest have to be willing to let go of all the control if they want the NRA in there. When they continually complain about the NRA, why would they come in to help even if they had the unlimited funds, which they do not.
And they will bring $10 Million Dollars + with them.these same bloomy initatives are coming to OR as well. hope you guys are ready.
The 2A effort, aside from the lawn signs and bumper stickers, largely was aimed at people already opposed to I-594 by sending mailers to gun owners/ WAC members and ads placed in the American Rifleman, "preaching to the choir" so to speak.
WE didn't need to be told to get out and vote against 594, the people on the fringe of awareness, those who watch some TV news and then "know" we need BG checks to stop "gun violence" were the ones they needed to reach, and the NRA effort completely missed them.
Those fringe-aware voters don't subscribe to the Rifleman nor are they on the WAC Gun News mailing list, nor do they read Glock Talk or NW Firearms forums. That's why raw dollars that were spent on reaching the voters outside of the gun community was effective, and the "inside baseball" preach-to-the-choir effort was ineffective.
For that reason I must disagree that NRA couldn't have made a difference or that NRA's source of funding matters, in regard to being 'sincere' money, vs.'astroturf' money. Money is money, and assets placed where they count is what gets it done. The Bloomies spoke to the masses and the 2A effort spoke to the congregation.
These are lessons I hope will not be lost in Oregon and elsewhere as the "disarm everyone" circus moves to your states and the battle continues there.
