I received several and the last one indicated that it was time to renew my membership. That's what I thought was dishonest.

You are welcome to your opinion...as am I.

I am in the habit of paying my bills when they arrive. This one was 8 months early.

Is this along the lines of. “I am a lifelong Republican, But______________.” or, “I have always voted straight Republican , but this time_____________.”?

From the linked article: "... thanks to 27 anachronistic words of a constitution ..."

We really have come a long way, though with still quite a distance to go.

Prior to the Heller decision in 2008 this author would have assured us that the Second Amendment only protects the right of Militias to be armed. Perhaps in another twenty years or so there might be a recognized right to bear arms in Kalifornia.

Driving should be a right, like gun ownership, not a privilege that is parceled out by government, and strictly regulated. That which is regulated can be taken away easily.

“...Edward Bulwer-Lytton”

He was the same “dark and stormy night” guy Snoopy would plagiarize so often. Anybody that can inspire an anthropomorphized beagle is alright in my book.

I love the GOA, but they’re the yapping chihuahua to the NRA’s 800-lb gorilla. Sure, the NRA has an agressive funding arm. If you can’t handle a few mailings and phone calls, then paraphrasing Apocalypse Now, IMO you’re wrapped a little too tight for firearms.

The NRA is the next organized target of the Confederate Battle Flag hating lefties.

got his first one at 37 so he could hunt.

Of course: hunting, that is all the 2ndA is about to lying liberal trolls like this writer. He just took the opportunity to slip that in.

I'm not an NRA member, but I despise David Fellerath.

I left the NRA after they all the calls and mailings trying to get me to send them more money. I’m sure they spent a ton more than my initial contribution.

I was more concerned about the way they used the funds from my membership, as recently as last year.

You know, I wonder how history would have played out if AlGore actually won a term. Would that have stopped OTrauma from destroying America?

No. The attacks of 09/11 would have occurred during a Gore presidency, and Gore and his fellow Democrats in congress would have surrendered.

The only thing wrong with the NRA is that they're too wussified.

I'll take GOA or JPFO any say of the week...

As did I, after NRA started supporting gun control legislation in my home state. But do not neglect your state association or associations, and consider, as I have, those in your neighboring state.

Our local gun club has also dropped the NRA as our range insurance carrier.
