However, you assert the NRA has no clout in DC. There are many who would try to make it appear that way, and cooperating with that image by posting it here only helps those who labor against our RKBA.
If the anti-gun people in the media can convince people that the NRA, GOA, JPFO, SAF, and others have "no clout" then a significant number of people will not continue to fight. The drop in funding and support that comes with that (media fostered image) will breed the sort of defeatism which will guarantee some level of failure. The PSYOPS will have been successful if that occurs.
Please, help the media be wrong again.
Note, too, I said "If that shoe fits...", if it doesn't, then it doesn't apply to you.
I am an owner of numerous firearms (calibre management is a killer), a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and firmly in the “No Compromise” camp.
I support whole-heartedly what the NRA says it stands for; however, I left them a number of years ago because they give money to Democrats. That move seems prescient at this point.
I’m aware that the entire Left is arrayed against we gun owners, and that they are working diligently to undermine/smear any organization that stands for our rights. But I don’t think anyone can look at how the A-rated Republicans (and Democrats) rushed to support cloture on the Manchin-Toomey mess and not wonder what happened.
In a nutshell, it looks to me like the NRA pi$$ed away a lot of money.
