Thanks, I was trying to properly word my response - you saved me the effort.

I would stay away from the ‘counselor’. Nothing good can come from the combination of Psychology and Government. Even better, rent a lawyer for the event, and insist on written ‘Yes/No’ type questions.

I share your principles, and admire your words.

I was just making a comparative preference.

And this one?

A "Hunting" organization is not a Second Amendment organization. GOA, SAS, SAF, JPFO, and most of the others all are Rights oriented.

The NRA has compromised on a lot over the years. As our "number 1" lobbying organization, its good for them to have competition lest they turn into a group of Zumbo's who are just fine with egregious restrictions as long as their 3-shot bolt action $8000 big game rifle isn't outlawed...

The NRA is not a hunting organization. The Second Amendment is their top priority.

The SAF shared in the lawsuit for the Katrina victims.
JPFO is an education organization and not a lobbying group.
I like the Second Amendment Sisters and how they handled the Million morons. It was moms against sisters our sisters won.
The GOA sends out email alerts. That’s the extent of their success.
The NRA is feared by the anti-gunners, the million morons and the brady bunch. They are the reason gore lost Tennessee. The NRA does more in a month than all the others combined. Their legal staff is involved with about sixty court cases a year IF you’re a member and need help like the guy who transported his gun through New York.

I understand. My problem is that I seriously doubt that the ‘sitting government’ would have allowed the ‘founders’ the means to do the right thing.

I see our current government slowly taking those rights that my ancestors died to provide away, and those who truly care giving in.

Appeasment eventually gets innocents killed.

Just emailed the NRA to let them know that I remember this kind of stuff when time comes ‘round to renewing my membership.

This might be an effective deterrent:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

(This is not my Photoshop. Ergo, disregard the grammatical gender error).

The message is still a good one.
