I’m chairman of the House 2nd Amendment Caucus, wearing my @NRA B+ rating with pride. Gun control (fix NICS) was inserted into a pro-gun bill. I called the NRA and said I would try to separate the two bills. They said “fine!” Then when I was about to succeed, they attacked me.

Disgusting.

I don’t trust the NRA and haven’t in quite a while.
“”””I don’t trust the NRA and haven’t in quite a while.””””
Same here.
The Wayne Lapierre fellow is bad news. Is he still running the show?
why doesn’t everyone switch to gun owners of america

Yep. And he’s been doing it for almost 30 years. The guy is a walking advertisement for term limits. Here’s an article discussing how Wayne has been using NRA funds to buy expensive suits for himself. What a guy!

Ditto.
I've never heard of them. Have they been around long?
I'd be interested to know what drew you to them.
Thanks in advance.
I know very little, other than that others have described them as an uncorrupt (or much less so) version of NRA.
It makes me wonder why everyone doesn’t switch with the recent problems in NRA.
I read the articles posted on FR, and see folks posting comments like, "Republican Congressman Smith is terribly unpopular" [when the polls have them within the margin of error]; or "Senator Jones is just a RINO" [when they have already committed to voting YES for Mr. Trump's USSC nominee]. And I think: "Can't you just hold the whining & complaining until AFTER the freaking election?"
I might attribute it all to Dem rabble rousers posting here on FR (and some of it probably is), but I've seen two different GOP State organizations implode, because the Republicans in those areas thought the 'Prime Directive' was to attack other Republicans, or other gun owners groups, or the Mormons, or whatever, right before the election! Real life circular firing squads - and solid Blue States were the result!
You can't make this stuff up - millions of new gun owners this year, a lot of whom might join pro-gun groups & vote for Mr. Trump, and a bunch of them probably checking out FreeRepublic. And too many people here have to gripe about the NRA or Republican Senator Whoever, even though THEY SUPPORT MR. TRUMP, instead of sticking to something constructive (like some of the posts above), such as: "Might be a good reason to check out the GOA!"
Yep.
The NRA is to gun owners what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are to blacks.
Again, thanks.
The NRA is pretty much the only pac spending big money on POTUS here in FL. I’ve been watching college football all night and haven’t seen a single Trump ad. Lots of Biden ads, unfortunately.
Bingo! The NRA backed Mr. Trump early, way back in 2016, and they still offer strong support! You can never tell who's complaining about "the NRA is [fill in the blank]" - but this close to a tight election, the result is the same, and it doesn't help Republicans...
I saw basically no Trump ads yesterday while watching college football here in battleground florida. Trump campaign is either out of money or putting it elsewhere.
No idea how ANYBODY budgets 'ad buys'. People watch broadcast tv, cable, satellite, streaming, you name it, and the demographics (& costs) are probably different for each, not to mention the state-to-state differences, plus defacto tech company censorship...
I suspect Biden is dumping a higher percentage of his budget into ads, than any previous campaign. It lets him stay in the basement, and lets his people control the non-stop "gaffes": if he blows his lines 6 times in a row, they just shoot the scene 7 times, and the viewers are none the wiser...
