The votes aren't there because you've sent your money to the NRA and let them "take care of it". YOU are no longer involved in the process. You've been removed. You're being dictated to.

Know what changes minds of politicians? VOTERS. But you're going to sit here and tell me that millions of VOTERS would hold no sway over the way an elected official voted on a piece of legislation.

You won't even call the NRA to voice your displeasure at what they're doing, will you?

Any organization that encourages you to get off your lazy gun-owning ass and get back in touch with the political process personally is on the right track. The NRA has the ability to do this, but then Wayne LaPierre et al wouldn't have the need for a travel budget and the fancy suits, would they?

I am involved in the process much more than I care to be but the legislator’s votes aren’t there.
Now you can wish upon a star if you want but that doesn’t change anything.

Now let’s take a hard look at what you are doing. Exactly nothing that will change the outcome. You don’t know anything about the closed doors dealings on this issue because you aren’t part of the process. You aren’t going to change the anti’s minds about this or the dem party.

The reason why is the NRA only has four million members. Do you have any idea how many AARP members there are? They dwarf the numbers the NRA has. Are you going to become a member so eighty million gun owners are now part of the NRA and can really scare some of these politicians? Doubt it.

If your gun group was so good, they wouldn’t need the NRA. The other gun groups can’t stop this any more than the NRA can. The NRA is trying to minimize the damage a bill like this can do but your gun group is too busy complaining and whining about the NRA.

Other gun groups: send emails and complain about the NRA when a antigun bill passes. Hope you think that’s worth sending in membership dues.
