The bill ... has won the support of groups on all sides of the gun issue: Americans for Gun Safety; National Rifle Association...
Yet another justification for my decision to discontinue my NRA membership years ago.
The NRA has ceased to represent responsible gun owners and now only represents certain special interests who have gained control over the NRA through the use of large donations.
Gun Owners of America truly is "the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington."
I proudly joined the NRA at 16 (over my parent's objections), and remained a member for 17 years, donating thousands of dollars during that time. (Once, during a particularly difficult political battle, I sent them my entire take-home pay for the month, minus tithe of course.)
But one day in my early 30's, during a time of fasting and prayer, I felt strongly led by the Lord to resign my NRA Life membership. Emotionally, it was one of the hardest things I ever did -- even though I knew it was God's will, it still felt like treachery -- and I never understood why He required me to do it.
Until now.
The quislings!
