" Some said Gun Owners of America is more effective at lobbying Congress than the National Rifle Association. Andreski said he left the National Rifle Association six years ago because he thought it was moving too far to the left politically.

I have so far asked 9 people which gun laws has the GOA stopped and I still havn't received an answer. It's getting not so funny that the second a GOA member is asked about their organization, the NRA is mentioned. It's as though the consept of the NRA having 4 1/2 million members and the GOA having the same amount is alien to them. If the GOA would just shut up and expand their numbers without mentioning the NRA, we could double our influence.

The GOA hasn't endorsed compromise gun control laws, either.

Apparently your only measure of success is laws stoped or reversed. That is a very narrow definition. According to you, the SAS is a failure because they haven't stopped any gun control laws. The TRT is also a failure for the same reason.

Dude, you'd better realize that there are other games in town and that the NRA is not the end all and be all for gun owners and 2A advocates.

It seems that if an 2a rights advocate isn't with or praising the NRA, it doens't matter to you.

It is high time that you realized that there are going to be effective individuals and groups apart from the NRA. Why does it bother you that other forces may be emerging?

It is beginning to look as if getting the credit is more important to you than winning the battle and if activists don't have the 'proper' memebership cards then they ain't worth crap to you.

Maybe you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
