Join NRA (but don’t contribute extra when asked four times a week) because the NRA membership numbers are how Washington gauges the number of politically active gun owners. Then join SAF and GOA because they’re the true, uncompromising tripwires that outs all this stuff.
I had a hard enough time justifying my membership renewal.
I think GOA needs to advertise more. NRA has name recognition, but GOA has a harder stance.
I think if GOA had more members (and kept the same stance) they would have the funds and could be what the NRA is supposed to.
