The NRA is a gun rights marketing organization. It relies on much smaller, state level groups to do do the heavy lifting.

That statement is a red herring. It doesn't matter how they organize themselves, NVDave is saying it's ineffective or they'd have results to show like Gura does.

“NVDave is saying it’s ineffective or they’d have results to show like Gura does.”

And he would be right to say so. The value of an organization is ultimately determined by the results it achieves. Unfortunately for about the last decade the NRA has been low on results and high on patting itself on the back for the successful efforts of others.

I’m not anti-NRA per se. I’m a former long-time member and left on polite terms. I simply found that there were other organizations that were doing a much better job with a lot fewer resources. I couldn’t justify spending money on an organization that wasn’t earning it’s keep.

Historically the NRA has been a good organization and there have been some times, especially in the late 60’s early 70’s, when the NRA would be rightfully credited with having saved the bacon for gun owners. But things change. And the NRA desperately needs some changes in it’s management.
