Boycott the NRA

[Firebrick43]

---I never argue with a stupid person---they will drag you down to their level----and beat you with experience

My favorite quote!

I am ashamed to say that my membership has lapsed. I need to renew to strengthen the nra.

i agree that bump stocks are grey and gimmicky. I actually can't believe it's taken so long to come to this point.

I will support any red flag law that includes a very STRONG due process. We don't allow people to drive drunk or yell for in a crowded theater.

But since 1969, for speech to break the law, it can’t merely lead others to dangerous situations. It must directly encourage others to commit specific criminal actions of their own.

Fascinating...

Here's another story of how the NRA is [STRIKE]giving away[/STRIKE] fighting for our rights.

That is interesting.

Thanks for posting it.

The way the Dummierats are going, there is no better time to support the NRA. Wasn't that important 25 years ago when I first joined but now is critical. JMO

We should still support the NRA even though they do some bone headed moves. They may not be the only pro 2A group but they are the biggest with a big voice for us against the looney left. I’ve been a member from the time I bought my first gun and now a life member. Yeah I felt let down with the bump stock ban stance they took but still will support them. We all need to stick together and stay strong or we will slowly but surely lose.

Interesting. So you're completely ok with killing someone as a legitimate government interest if they "advance". What point? He drives by with a long gun? On the sidewalk? One stop onto school property? The school can have a sniper overwatch and kill him once whatever line you set has been crossed but they can't petition a court to have his firearms removed until he receives mental health treatment, gets back on his medications, and is no longer a threat?

We can lock them up, which removes access to guns since they can't have them in their cell or hospital room and that's fine. We can't prohibit their access to guns while in out patient treatment despite it having the exact same level of due process and evidence requirements?

I think what im saying is being misunderstood through the internet.
I don't advocate shooting anyone without a just reason.

We should still support them, despite the fact that they continually bend the knee, and do not stand up for the 2A? If everyone would quit funding an organization that parades itself around as the biggest defender of gun rights without actually backing it up, and instead gave their money to legitimate pro-2A groups like GOA and FPC, then those groups could take their rightful place as our true defenders.

The NRA has shown, many times, that they will give in and "compromise" on gun rights. There is no compromise involved in "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

GOA is growing. Almost half as many members as NRA, and while the NRA happily let the government take bumpstocks away, GOA stood its ground and fought. We may have lost the fight, but at least they fought. I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

No mention of the GOA in the article.... I wonder why.

Hickock45 just put out a video today announcing that they are cutting ties with the NRA, at least in an official capacity.

Nice! I quit watching Hickok a long time ago because of his NRA affiliation.

 

[bwframe]

So who speaks for us now, if not the NRA?

Where do our Senators stand with this new organization?

Funny how I've never heard of GOA sending reps to our state and help get PRO gun measures passed here. I do know the NRA does however.
That said i support both. I am an NRA life member and i pitch GOA some money when i can.
No reason to not support both, but like i mentioned i haven't seen GOA do a dang thing for us here in Indiana at the state level.
