That's a good combination. I just wish that the GOA would learn to present their accomplishments and quit criticizing the NRA. We have to work together and realize that no gun group is the enemy. The enemy is the anti-gun politicians.

I agree. Howver, I get a little disillusioned w/ the NRA at times. While they do an EXCELLENT, and I do mean EXCELLENT job at gun safety and education, their sell-out nature in the political arena gets frustrating. They called me up once asking me to donate money to support the lawsuit against the campagin-finance law. I told the very nice, but quite condescending lady on the phone, that if the NRA would actually sue on 2nd Amendment grounds, I'd think about donating extra money. I told her that the intentions of the founding fathers, as demonstrated in the federalist and anti-federalist arguments; and in their private papers, show that the 2nd amendment supports individual ownership and bearing of arms. Even liberals like Larry Tribe from harvard have admitted this. Get a Second Amendment case before the Supreme Court. Needless to say, she had no answer.

If the 2nd Amendement was as unassailable as the 1st Amendment, Wayne LaPierre would have a much lower expense account.

I used to be a member of Keep-and-Bear-Arms.com. It's generally a good organization w/ good people, but they seem a touch tin-foil-hattish at times.
