I'm not sure why it is that you wish to take this confrontational tone with me, dear, but let's get it out right now that nobody OWES you an answer about a damn thing. I personally have not heard "the GOA" (who, exactly, is that?) complain about the NRA. I'm a member of both, and - as I said earlier - an NRA Instructor. GOA does an in-depth survey of political candidates, at least here in New Hampshire, and is at every one of the public hearings before various legislative committees that I have testified to, standing up for gun owner rights. You know what else? I'm a member of JPFO, PP, GO-NH, and a state coordinator - among other things - with the Second Amendment Sisters.

*I* spend a good deal of my money, and about 80 hours a week of my time, working for gun rights. Do you seriously think that I would back a group that didn't DO something?

It sure looks to me like all you're doing is to complain about the GOA, and apparently feel justified in bitching about what people do with their own money. WHAT, exactly, is it that YOU do to further gun rights besides sit in here and badmouth the GOA and pontificate about everybody else? You started it, so I guess now it's your turn.

It was confrontational and it was meant to be. Perhaps not to you personally but what I want is answers to why the GOA members are systematically complaining about what the NRA does or does not do without explaining what they themselves do. I have asked ten people. That means that I have read more than ten GOA members complaining about the NRA.

This happens about once or twice a month on this board where I have posted my question to the GOA members. This has never happened with SAS, SAF, or Citizen's Committee members. It's only with the GOA. I want to know why the GOA is openly causing division between the two groups.

Keepandbeararms.com is one website that bashes the NRA and they have a link to the GOA. I'm wondering if this started at that web site.

I'm going to repeat myself when I say that this behavior should stop for the good of the groups.
The next time someone starts the same old BS about the NRA, I'll ping you.
