So, just to clarify.....
We have the best gun rights in the world because of luck and the kindness of the Politicians hearts?
I find that hard to believe. No. We have the best gun rights in the world because the NRA stood up to the British on Lexington green.

The NRA has supported every major federal gun legislation now in existence. Pro-2nd? Laughable. The problem with you guys is that you are idiots. Enough said. You are the reason I belong to the NRA. It is fools like you that we are in the position we are in. and belonging to the NRA is the only chanch we have of fighting you AZZ hat. It is fools like you who imagine that a group that makes its money from pushing fear cares about you, or your "rights". It is fools like you who imagine that you can hire some group to do something that it is your responsibility to do. YOU are in charge of your rights. I'll repeat that: YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR RIGHTS. Not a "government", YOU. Not a lobbying group, YOU. It is fools like you who never understood this, and so you don't actually have any rights; you have privileges granted you by your betters as you beg on your knees and hand over your resources. The NRA has profited for a long time while peddling away your rights piecemeal. Keep believing. They love you for it. I would bet you voted for Tester. Hasbeen

Revenue generated per member: The NRA averages to about $87 per member.
Gun Owners of America averages to about $1.43 per member.
GOA are great patriots, Taking in 2.5 mill a year isn't going to cut it fighting gun control groups on their own. The GOA has filed suit to stop the bump stock laws. The NRA basically welcomed those laws. The GOA is 100% against red flag laws. The NRA is willing to support a modified version of it. The GOA might only take in $1.43/member (based on 2015 records) but they fight for the 2nd and ALL that it means. Ron Paul called them the ONLY no-compromise gun lobby in Washington. I would happily send the NRA $1000.00 today if they would get rid of their management. They need a shake up. Jim

I have been a member for over 60 years, that said, I feel there needs to be a shake up or reorganization in it. I paid my membership two months ago. Since that time I have received three letters, two phone calls and two emails saying I need to renew my membership. Waste of time and money. I will continue to support them but as said by some, I feel a change in leadership should be looked at to better support us. I also belong to the CA. Rifle and Pistol Assn. which I feel does a better job for us here as far as firearms and hunting than the NRA. There are a lot of better local grassroots organizations, like the CCDL in CT. GOA is a good organization as well. I rather give them my hard earned money then the NRA at this time. I am a life member of the NRA, I am a NRA certified instructor, and I will continue to support them. However I am dam sure going to criticize were so deserved. I was very vocal with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation years ago when they wouldn't take a stand on wolves. I pay them money to support what is best for ELK, hunting, and commonsense. I didn't stop supporting, but I dam sure let them know how displeased I was. If you can't and won't criticize something you support, you are just a sheep and follower. Ok and average are not acceptable to me.

It is rants like this that give strength to the anti gun people. The 2 most important ingredients in holding on to the freedoms we have in this country are truth and unity. The Democrats have unity but no truth. Conservatives have truth but no unity. It is obvious that if you only have one ingredient, unity is more powerful.
It is time conservatives realize this and become unified, because both truth and unity will destroy liberalism...
Best post so far this year. Hasbeen Well spoken. Like them or NOT, the NRA is the gun owners ONLY ally..

Genuinely curious. NSSF, GOA, NRA......I am sure there are others. The NRA has it's place. Best bang for the buck would go to the SAF. They are usually the first to file lawsuits in support of the 2nd. After the NRA sees which way the winds are blowing they may join the suit later and claim victory.

It is hilarious to me that simply and honestly holding the NRA accountable for their own actions vs their rhetoric brings out the name-callers here. Seems pretty obvious that if all you have is name-calling, you have no facts with which to make a point.

The NRA wants us to believe they are the 1000 pound gorilla and that they are the reason we still have any guns at all........but, ask yourself, if they really are that powerful, why don't we have nationwide concealed carry reciprocity and the hearing protection act??
The republicans have controlled the house, senate and the oval office for 2 years and couldn't pass the hearing protection act and the nationwide concealed carry??
Instead of fighting for gun rights and gun owners, LaPierre and Cox supported the bump stock ban and red flags laws.......they didn't just surrender without a fight, they supplied the enemy with ammunition to use against us!!!
I have been a member for decades, I am an NRA certified instructor and have recruited for the NRA in the past.......but I'm done with them until LaPierre and Cox are gone......under current leadership, the NRA isn't the 1000 pound gorilla, it's a paper tiger. This.

I dumped the NRA after they came out for both Red Flag laws and a bump stock ban. With friends like that, we don’t need any enemies. I joined GOA. The NRA also pushed for and got background checks which the left have been trying to expand, predictably, into universal registration. The list goes on.
