Again you entirely missed the point.

I am not a GOA member, you simply bring in a straw man to change the conversation. You brought up the GOA, not me.

The NRA has been behind every major piece of gun control legislation since they began. Don’t take my word for it.

“The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun control legislation since its very inception in 1871.” —NRA Executive Vice President Franklin L. Orth, NRA’s American Rifleman Magazine, March 1968, P. 22

The NRA currently exists to provide it’s leadership with million dollar salaries and benefits.

Meanwhile the local gun grunts on the ground in state capitals around the country do the hard work.

I think you have a poor understanding of the political process. This is a representative republic, not a dictatorship ruled according to what you want and only what you want. It's a give and take political process. That means we will have to accept certain realities regarding gun laws, like it or not. What I do know is that over the course of the past decade, we have won all the battles that matter and made stupid meaningless little concessions to do it and we have done it by working with the system, not against it. I think the NRA has been instrumental in much of that success so I am hesitant to just abandon them considering how far we have come with them.
