No but those who attack it for defending others rights, (not yours as an LEO) are anti gun. Plain and simple the NRA defends my right to own a gun. If it wasn't for them people like you would be collecting them like in Australia, England, NYC, and California.

That's not what I said. My beef with your position is not that you are not an NRA member (I am) but rather that you feel that the NRA is no better than the anti-gun forces because in your mind's eye, the NRA distorts the truth. I for one would prefer to see a united front against the anti-RKBA forces but with your position as well as those who now eschew the NRA because they are too pragmatic or not radical enough, we are left fractionalized and it's no suprise our enemies have gained ground in recent years...so yes one has to make a choice here. If you have qualms about the NRA then I hope you are helping the fight elsewhere.

I read also on your post that now you will not vote Pubbie either and support only FR (whatever that means). Well, that's your perogative but you are by default handing your vote to the Dems which is an across the board defeat for conservative ideals period. You should read JR's remarks to all of us about setting aside pettiness to insure conservative victories. He leans fairly Libertarian himself but he's no fool.

Idealism is great....Libertarians thrive on this precept but I prefer the real world of increments and the big picture. If you reject taking a side because you dislike a small part of it then you should bear the fruit of your naivete stoically.
