That's my whole point. They are on the front lines.

Nothing personal but... The NRA on the front line fighting for us?! I don't think so, I left the NRA years ago because they supported and helped to pass legislation putting Combat Vets returning from the wars that had PTSS on the "list" banning them from owning weapons and not being able to be removed from the "list", the only reason the NRA has been coming around lately is because WE (Second Amendment Activist) forced them to!

THEY are only in the battle as far as WE push them, that's why over the years the NRA and Congress has only been giving a half-a$$ lip service to Second Amendment battles... because members and patriots were not pushing them hard enough, and that is why the GOA has been starting to over take the NRA in battling for our rights.

Parse the meaning of "front lines" as much as you wish, but the Gun Rights Groups are only as powerful and successful as WE want them to be through membership, funds and activism.

One of the ways to change and strengthen the NRA is for many like minded people to rejoin the NRA, as I have, and try to run the Politically Correct pansies out of the organization... then they will actually return to their mission of fighting for the Second Amendment and in the end US!

(END RANT)

The NRA is a big organization and as such, makes them pussies. They get close to the meaning of the 2nd ammendment, sometimes. Real close. But then they go 'Hunter' on my ass. When they miss, it's an embarrassment. Just like our government: who couldn't hit the 2nd ammendment with a flying mule smoking crack.

On the bright side, the Feds bubble is gonna pop, just like real estate and tech. The states are bankrupt and the people are holding onto whatever cash they've got left.

The giant Monkey on Your Back is about to be un-funded. That's the good news. Bad news is: most aren't prepared to live outside the 'cage'. You know, that temprorary 'feel good' place the government made for you. Look, it's really not too late for these 'reconstructionists' to get back in line, but they won't. They like their definition of the Bill of Rights just fine. Sorry fools.

"I left the NRA years ago because they supported and helped to pass legislation putting Combat Vets returning from the wars that had PTSS on the "list" banning them from owning weapons and not being able to be removed from the "list""

If you are referring to HR2640 that was passed after Virginia Tech, tightening up the mental health laws and gun ownership then you are sadly mistaken. If you have the courage to read something not put out by GOA, then please read this:

My personnel opinion is that the only reason that the GOA exists is to bash the NRA so that they can become the pre-eminent 2nd Amendment civil rights groups out there. The fact of that bill is the opposite. It took records of approximately 80,000 vets off the NICS system and essentially allowed these 80,000 vets to once again be able to own firearms.

At first I did a double take on this bill because it was being co-sponsored by Carolyn McCarthy. However, once you read the facts of the bill, you will see it is a bill that loosens restrictions of gun ownership for vets who previously could not own guns due to PTSD diagnosis. Look at who lined up against the bill. The GOA was aligned in opposition to the bill with the Brady Bunch, Violence Policy Center and the Huffington Post. That should tell you all you need to know about the bill.
