The NRA could say it’s true. If there are 36 million antigun members of the antigun AARP and only 3 million progun owners in the NRA then the numbers are correct.
There are only 3 million gun owners in the NRA who bother to support their Rights and 77 million gun owner who can’t get off the couch to throw away a mailer.
There are Freepers who complain they won’t join the NRA because they don’t want to be on a “list”.
There are Freepers who won’t join because they complain about those mailers. Funny thing is when they complain they can’t get off the couch, people like me are getting out the checkbook.
There are Freepers who don’t like the NRA because ONE board member is stupid while ignoring the 75 board members like Ted Nugent. I haven’t figured out how I feel about Ted acting like a stupid publicity hound but that’s another story.
There are Freepers who use any excuse to do nothing instead of using one excuse to do something as important as defending your Rights.
I dropped my NRA membership last summer after being a member since 1966. I was disgusted and angry because of NRA support for the Schumer-McCarthy bill that still appears to me to make it easier for the FBI background check system to deny a disabled vet approval to buy a gun based on a negative mental evaluation by any anti-gun psychiatric physician who he or she may encounter.
I have read and heard the explanations and excuses offered by NRA officials, but I'm still not convinced. After all, why in the name of everything holy would antigun fanatics like Schumer and McCarthy fight for a bill that would benefit gun buyers? However, for practical reasons I will probably re-up later on this year depending on who the NRA endorses in the upcoming elections, but not at this critical time before I know who my choices will be next November and how NRA comes down on it's endorsements.
