You're F***ing welcome.
The NRA was there when we fought the Oak Park gun ban and they were there for the others. They gave matching funds for our fight and the best advice they could in a village that was a "nuclear free" zone. I moved soon after.
Now all you have to do is see that the Armed Females put their money where their mouth is and match the same funds the NRA is going to put out for the upcoming Winnetka fights. That's because instead of childish attacks against any gun group we have a bigger enemy to fight. Too bad the Armed Females don't seem to get that.
How eloquent! Is that supposed to convince me that I'm wrong? If so, it didn't have the intended effect.

In case you didn't understand my first post, the message I was sending was to point out that YOU should stop attacking other pro-gun groups. Yes, it is a fact that the NRA is the oldest gun rights organization, and the largest by far. As such, it is only logical that it has far more in resources than any other group - probably more than the rest combined. I pointed out to you that I, myself, am a member and have been since 1989, so I am obviously happy enough with it to keep giving them my hard-earned money. What I am unhappy with is YOUR bashing of other pro-gun groups. Supporting and defending the NRA because you believe it to be the best organization that we have to help preserve (and re-take) our 2nd Amendment rights is fine - and is probably objectively correct. But attacking other groups that are also fighting for our RKBA is unacceptable. Just as we shouldn't denigrate the UK and Italy for failing to contribute as much to the Iraq War as the US did - because they ARE allies and ARE fighting for the same goal - so should you refrain from attacking AFA, GOA, CCRKBA, JPFO and any other group that is allied with the NRA in the fight to preserve our RKBA.
Too bad the Armed Females don't seem to get that.
As I indicated, I've never been a member of AFA. I'll add that I don't intend to join, either. Thus, I am NOT carrying any of their water. I addressed you about this AS A FELLOW NRA MEMBER because you have a habit of defending every single thing that the NRA does (and it is no more perfect than any individual is perfect), while simultaneously bashing every other pro-gun group. If you are honest with yourself, you'll admit that it is true. While I don't ask for and don't expect you to either admit it to me or to apologize to anyone, I do ask you to stop bashing other gun groups. As you yourself pointed out "...we have a bigger enemy to fight." It would be nice if you followed your own advice - because it happens to be correct. Focus on and fight the real enemies - the Schumers, Feinsteins, Bradys, Kennedys, Reeds, etc. - and leave alone the people pulling in the same general direction as the NRA.
