NRA poll

[WILCO]

[dragon813gt]

Thread drifts amuse me when someone is trying to direct the attention away from their comments :laugh:

Put up or shut up, it's that simple. I've said it many many times across a lot of Internet forums. If every firearm owner wad a NRA member we wouldn't have the problems we do. The number would be to large to ignore. And the media wouldn't be able to spin it as a "vocal minority".

The ILA has to get their hands dirty politically. This is the game they're playing and it can't be avoided. I understand if you take issue w/ the ILA. The NRA on the other hand supports all types training and ranges. They supply the insurance to ranges. A lot would disappear were it not for this insurance. The NRA does a lot of good.

I'm boycotting all the inane Polls until I see the results I want!!

I only have so many heartbeats. How I spend them is my business.
Please list your saintly accomplishments and furnish references for all the difference you've made in your endeavors. When you're finished, put me on your ignore list.

LOL Easily accomplished.

One final question, do you vote after getting the results you wanted?
Oh Ya, did you pay for that Big Mac after you posted it?

Yes, I realize that's 2 questions. By!

That says you don't support the NRA now.
And ... because it's a safe bet that "all" of those laws cannot be repealed during your lifetime ... it says that you never plan to.

See post #15.

It just confirms that you don't support the NRA .... and you are done supporting it. Why should I read it again?
Will you be turning your guns in soon, and joining up with Bloomberg?
He might have a good job for an expert poll taker ...

I am also a lifetime member of the NRA, I have also given from time to time but do get tired of every single time a poll, questionnaire, or many of their emails always end with money requests. I also get tired of getting told I don't support the NRA because I don't send in money when they ask. I can see getting told that if I was not an current NRA member, or never a member but when is enough enough? I understand we need to keep the fight up, and we should get as many gun owners to join the NRA and other 2A organizations but at the same time we should not be berating those that have given their support to those organizations.

Nope. I'm protected by this shield:

Yep. Nice and cool here. No burns.

[Plate plinker]

I agree with this 100%

ditto

[retread]

I'll support the N.R.A. when they roll back all these oppressive gun laws.

Really Wilco, really!!

Is the NRA perfect....no.....do they need a pile of money and members to combat the other side......yes. 100 million gun owners and we lose elections???????......absurd. Become a voting member and research and pay attention. The membership elects the board. There are many of us here have heard the old....they give in.....they compromise....they aren't conservative enough.....we heard all this while trying to get more and more members as we fought for board members like Neal Knox. But no....instead all we heard is complaints. So with 100 million owners either a huge number of them either don't care or are voting for the other side and letting the few carry the load.

Right and we all know what happened to GB, Aus., and NZ. Without support we will end up in the same boat.

Wilco, you need a subscription to PlayBoy. Might help you out some.

They don't care. They are to self obsessed and distracted by shiny objects to do what's best for everyone. Like a lot of things in life a few will carry the burden for the masses. It's pathetic that we have the issues we do because people expect an organization to think exactly like they do.

I don't get the letters asking for money all the time. I might get a handful a year. They aren't hard to ignore. If you can't contribute I understand. You are supporting them if you're a member. Anyone that says otherwise is a fool.

I'm like the other 99.8% here. I like my 2nd amendment rights and I need to pay, to help the fight to keep my rights. We would be an extinct group about now without the NRA.

I like your attitude, but I seriously doubt that 99.8% of our membership is made up of NRA members.

If statistics hold true, it's probably more like 5% who are active, a similar number (like W) who have quit, and a squirming mass of gun-owning humanity which has never joined.

The quitters are very vocal about their dislikes, and because they are 'experienced' their rants help keep the squirming mass away from the membership webpages.

This thread brings out a good point. I need to send a few bucks to ILA to help fight the coming storm. All that has been on TV lately is the murder of 2 TV journalists in VA. I don't hold out much hope for a reasoned approach to finding a solution to the problem of unstable persons being able to legally purchase a handgun. An unreasonable approach would probably classify all of us as unstable.

I got my Life membership when they were discounted a few years ago. I owe quite a bit on the balance of what I would have paid had I signed up for Life many years ago.

If ranges denied access to people not holding NRA membership cards and FFL holders refused to transfer to the same, we might see increased numbers. Just a thought.
