No disrespect intended but you might also want to place most of those demands on the frigging NRA, You know as well as I that over the years they have become lackluster at best! They stepped aside during the Heller battle while the GOA filed briefs in his and the 2As defense, the GOA has TIMELY activism emails and letters...

I held an NRA membership through my entire military career, but after I saw what they were doing... making backroom deals with politicians to water down legislation just to get something passed, I left!

The NRA (for now) has about quadruple the membership and funds of the GOA but are they throwing the bulk of that power directly into a lot of the battles happening, no they would rather do organizational fund raising, hold shooting matches, seminars and send out rifleman magazines.

I dropped the NRA years ago do to their politicization of a lot of 2A issues, instead of FIGHTING for the 2A they were making back rooms deals and watering down critical legislation, I joined the GOA and have been extremely happy with their performance and actions to date.

The ONLY reason I am rejoining the NRA is hopefully we can clean the organization out and again have a group that gets up and fights for our rights instead of holding frigging gun matches and seminars!

WE need all hands in this battle, so you can play the petty “who’s the better gun rights group” POLITICS or you can welcome all of the many other 2A groups into the fray and kick some butt!

The NRA didn’t want Levy to continue because we would have lost due to the number of antiRights Justices at the time.

The goa was the only gun group that asked the court to take the narrow view so we would be faced with 20,000 court cases getting rid of 20,000 gun laws. Thanks for nothing, goa.

The NRA and the SAF filed five lawsuits immediately after Heller. San Francisco, Morton Grove, Winnetka and Wilmette no longer have gun bans. Thanks for nothing, goa.

The Katrina victims needed a lawsuit and the SAF and the NRA were there. Thanks for nothing, goa.

The goa has never accomplished a single thing in their existance and the member seem to be ok with that. Thanks for nothing, goa members.

NO goa MEMBER HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THE goa HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED ON THEIR OWN.
