Agree with the above. Friday’s press conference will establish the foundation for this fight, whether strong or weak. It will also decide if I maintain just my Life of Duty Membership or upgrade to Life Member with additional donations to the NRA ILA.
That being said, they ARE indeed the lesser of two evils. Right now, as far as I’m concerned, is NOT the time to sit on the sideline.
Even 30.00 - 40.00 per person can help our cause immensely.
I agree that the NRA of today is nowhere NEAR the NRA of my father’s generation but we still need somebody to fight for us however PC they may be…For God’s sakes, nobody else is going to do it.
I have a sponsor waiting, I can drop three bills at any time and become a lifetime member. I am simply waiting to see what stance they take on Friday. If they fight for me, I will join their ranks for good.
I don’t think the NRA is going to dig their heels in on this one. I suspect they’ll work with the President and Congress and become a participant instead of an outside entity. That’s just my guess.
If they do this, they’re gonna be in a real bad place with their membership. I did not drop $4k on a life memberships for myself, wife and kids to be told that I have to surrender even more rights to this fiat government.
Like it or not, they are the ONLY voice we have. Yeah, there’s other guns rights groups out there, but ask the average Congressional staffer if they’ve ever heard of them. Bottom line is the NRA is the only one that gets a seat at the table.
Yup. They did jack and shit during the last AWB. I just don’t think the icky side of the gun world is on their top list to protect. They’ve never done it before.
Except this time, the NRA BOD is full of people from the “icky” side. Hunting is down, the AR is king, the true intent if the 2A is front and center in the voting base. I’m optimistic from what I’m hearing. I don’t believe that this Friday will be disappointing.
I hope you are right sir. With the way the country has been going, the corruption and virtual lack of real representation, I still believe a lot of Americans are very fearful of what lies ahead and are worried if their right to protect themselves is now in jeopardy.
The stifling ignorance filling the airways is demoralizing. We need to push back NOW!!
They can wait until Friday for my money. I am already a member, so I’ll be donating for another 5 years based on Friday’s statement, I will upgrade to life if we get out of this with no changes to current laws. Show me the power baby…
I’m of the opinion that nothing needs to change that the federal government should be involved in. Hardening schools, arming teachers, school marshals, all should be a local decision. Better awareness of the mental state of our friends and relatives should be a personal goal of all citizens.
