I seriously doubt that. There are only 4.3 million members of the NRA. 300,000 in the GOA and maybe a half million in all of the other gun groups combined. For me to think even for a milli-second that some Good Old Boy from any part of the country is suddenly going to get off the couch and take an interest in the Second Amendment is laughable. If the 80 million gun owners would have taken an interest before this, we wouldn't be in this mess.
I'm not sure that membership rolls necessarily indicate resistance levels. Lots of gun folks are too stupid or lazy to put their money where their mouth is but might get motivated if JBTs start down their street.
BTW, your post motivated me to renew my NRA(5 years) and re-up my GOA donation. I told the very sweet girl at GOA that your post on FR had prompted me....something I had been procrastinating about for a couple of months.
Thanks
Oh, Malarkey. If the NRA hadn't been playing politics with our rights, we wouldn't be in this mess. Guess who will be actually bowing up and shooting at any troops or police sent to disarm us. Hint: it won't be the NRA. The NRA is just a vehicle for channeling campaign money to gungrabbing politicians. The NRA is the largest guncontrol lobby in the US, and the media holds them up as the boogeyman who stands in the way of "common sense gun laws". As usual the media is full of malarkey.
Get a clue, Shooter. The NRA has been around since the radicals were running the country. If they represented the thinking of 80 million gunowners, they wouldn't have a membership of only 4.5 million. It's pretty telling that 97% of gunowners routinely tell the politicking NRA to kiss our collective asses. The fact is that the NRA has actively lobbied for, written and/or endorsed every major piece of federal gun legislation ever passed. They can KMA. The numbers show that most gunowners feel the same way I do about Moses and Waynie.
