Will the NRA betray us?

[ddenny5]

Stop it!

Find some other (more constructive way) to work on your post count and (potential, although lacking) rep opportunity.

I just want to know who are allies are. Right now I do not trust any group on the national stage to have gun owners best interest at heart. It is a fair and honest question.

Not really sure what line you're standing in but I'll support those groups that are actually working for gun owners and not supporting politicians that are anti-2A because there is money to be had.

Please list those groups, Mr. Longtime INGO member. Maybe I've been mislead...

How is the NRA responsible for these people say?



As I was around for the VCCA of 1994, just what actions did the NRA take on the now defunct assault weapons ban that you deem compromise?

If they supported a candidate that votes against guns they are responsible.

Also, perhaps "compromise" was a poor choice of words. "Failure" in 94 would be a better choice.

Here are a couple. I believe you're intelligent enough to operate Google.

Our list of allies is growing thin. I just want to know who is on our side.

You do remember the last time you tried to change a long held opinion of your father don't you?....

His opinions never really mattered much to me as I can stand on my own.

Why are you people surprised the NRA would compromise? Obama got elected. If they don't compromise they will be circumvented. Like I mentioned in my polls, our best bet is an advantageous compromise now. If Romney were elected we wouldn't expect to have to compromise, but that is not our reality.

That's hilarious the back stabbers who aren't even members are worried about the NRA "betraying" THEM!

You saved $35. Awesome. So, who is your political representation for your gun rights?

Nice Avatar, Jack (not to distract from the "discussion" at hand)

I don't see how finding other groups to support would be = to being a back stabber. If the NRA caves to pressure, it affects every gun owner...not just their members.

The NRA is having a press conference on Friday. Are they going to betray gun owners in America? What do you think?

Betray us how? They are the BIGGEST pro gun group. I mean what choice do we have? We have to at least bet on the fact that they wont betray us. If the NRA says something terrible on Friday then what will we do? Burn our NRA membership cards? Then what? Join a pro gun group that has way less power? Then all the members join more radical pro gun groups? The NRA membership splintering would have the biggest consequences for us.

Just flood their inbox on fb with ''If you compromise I cancel my membership''

 

[downzero]

Let's have an example of that compromise then.

FOPA?

 

[flatlander]

In a word...yes

 

[indyjohn]

G'night boys, have fun storming the castle...

I'll check in tomorrow..
