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.
Totally agree and accordingly support GOA/JPFO/SAF et al, but when push comes to shove they are incapable of being effective independently.
There is no end to NRA bashing on FR, which is perfectly fine, but to pretend we'd all be toting around belt fed M240s and RPGs if the NRA would just stop selling our RKBA down the river is beyond ridiculous.
