If you don't believe this, go start a new organization called 'Red-Blooded Americans For Assault Weapons and High Capacity Drum Magazines, Incorporated' and see how successful you are at it. Can you name two congress-critters who would seek your endorsement?

Political reality doesn't faze the NRA bashers on FR, that somehow think we'd be any different than the British today without the NRA.

FMCDH posturing aside, we'd all be shooting rubber band guns today if the NRA didn't exist.

If we didn’t have individuals and groups like the JPFO and GOA pushing for the ‘extremes’, the NRA would have surrendered more of our rights. The middle is defined by the ‘extremes’ although I don’t believe it to be extreme to demand that your rights not be infringed.

The more you demand and the more you fight the more you get to keep. Unfortunately, our rights are being negotiated away so we, as in any other negotiation, have to demand it all or we get nothing and lose more.
