One more time...

The "R" in NRA stands for "Rifle", not "Republican".

As an NRA member, I want the organization to look out for my best interests; not the GOP's. And if memory serves, the last time we got campaign finance reform, it was pushed by a Republican senator and signed into law by a Republican president. Now those same Republicans want the NRA to sell out its members so that the GOP can raise more campaign money.

I don't think so.

This issue goes beyond a political party. It involves the first Amendment rights of all Americans. Many if not all those who are NRA members will have their first Amendment rights sacrificed rights as individuals so the NRA can maintain its second Amendment rights. Sacrificing one right for another will only lead to the destruction of all rights for all individuals. Self interest is the mechanism by which socialists seek to divide the country. They did it with bribes to Senators to support the unconstitutional Obamacare and they have now done it with the NRA.

By your line of reasoning it would be acceptable for another group to sacrifice Americans second Amendment rights in order for a group to preserve its first Amendment rights.
