Gun grabbing coming here. Join the NRA.

Unless you actually oppose firearms confiscation and licensing, in which case alliance with a group that's repeatedly supported gun control efforts from the Gun Control Act of 1968 to the Brady Bill might not be your cup of tea.

1968: General Franklin Orth, Executive Vice President of NRA, testifies before Congress in favor of the Gun Control Act (GCA'68) that "[The NRA does] not think that any sane American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this bill the instrument which killed the president of the United States," /2/ (a ban on the mail-order sale of firearms). His statement of NRA support generates heated opposition from the (presumably insane) portion of the NRA membership, creating split between "sportsmen" and "hardliners."

In which case, reconsider supporting those who bargain with your enemies, and study the alternatives.

Get your facts straight. The NRA wasn't a lobbying group during the 1968 gun act. They were not registered with the IRS to be a lobbying group and to do so would have violated the law.
Today the NRA has approval to be a NGO[Non-Governmental Organization] to observe the UN first hand and to warn Americans about Global Gun Control.

Orth died in 1970 and your "Facts" are over thirty years old.
