Every gun group member should shut the heck up concerning which gun group is "better" so we can all work together.
You may have never had to spend great quantity's of time and finances to defeat one of the NRA's "compromises". I have. I hate funding both sides of a fight.
The NRA has some excellent qualitys no doubt. The greatest of which is that they irritate the "Brady Bunch".

That alone is worth the price of a membership, IMHO.

The NRA only had to compromise because of forty years of democratic party control. The NRA started it's fight against the AWB back in the last two elections. They knew we had to have our pro-gun legislators elected in order to stop the ban.

It will be up to the gun owners to see if we can get a clear majority in the Senate like we do in the House. I'm urging all gun owners to vote a straight Republican ballot so we can finally go on the offensive after November.

It was only after the death of my brother, a life member of the NRA, that I learned the truth about Gore. Our father passed away a day or two before Election 2000, and though I think my brother voted for Mr. Bush, I voted Gore. Our family was Democrat, our parents held local township office positions.

I was lurking here in 2000, though I didn't learn the truth about Gore until I read back-issues of American Rifleman magazine. Was the truth about Gore posted here? I don't know--if I had learned here what I learned from the NRA publication, I certainly would not have voted for Gore.
