Yes, I understand, but point me to any legislative action that was influenced by their participation.........

Bottom line is you won't find any! Like them or not the NRA is the only organization with the membership clout to make a difference in Washington and like I said before, you don't make a difference by taking an all or nothing stance. Everything in life and politics is about compromise.

Grassroots? Drop me a line in 15 or 20 years when the JPFOA and the SAS memberships reach a sufficient number in which to make a difference in Washington........

Till then I'll continue to support the NRA because as of right now, they're the only organization in town that gets listened to..........

Like them or not the NRA is the only organization with the membership clout to make a difference make deals and pad their own pockets just like the politicians in Washington.

There, I fixed it! Like I said before, with all the money the NRA is taking in, they have absolutely no interest in truly fighting Washington or the various state governments to totally do away with gun laws. They've done absolutely nothing to help states like NY, NJ, the city of Chicago...etc.

They don't represent me when they continually compromise away my rights! (I'm an Endowment Life Member, btw)

This is why I support the other organizations, to help them grow to the point that they can make a REAL difference.
