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. There may be a lot of truth in that last sentence. It seems that lately they only take on what they feel they can easily win. About ten years ago, I bought a bound collection of the American Rifleman so I have literally almost every copy from 1936 to the present date. I have a few 1936/6 and am still missing all of 1939. It's interesting to see just how the NRA has changed from supporting the shooting sports to a political entity. There are times when I get the feeling the NRA does not want to win. They compromise a lot and every time they do, the antis gain another inch and we lose another inch. I'm an endowment life member and frankly, during the last few years I don't feel I've gotten my money's worth. I've been a member starting with annual membership back in 1955 and raised my level over the years to my current level. Gun control for the NRA has become a big cash cow. as long as the antis do their thing, we the membership will send in money. The question is, "Are we getting our money's worth?" Paul B. Great post. Seems close to what I hear about the medial profession. No money in curing.

Now they are using phones with my area code so it looks legit and local.....I cut em off and tell em I'm driving now, can't talk. I paid up my lifetime membership, donate to their banquets....isn't that enough? Asking them to put me on their no call list is fruitless...you can almost hear em laughing when I request it. You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

The truth of the matter is if it wouldn't be for the NRA , they're wouldn't be any gun rights to not compromise on. I bet it was the NRA that convinced you of that We have gun rights because politicians swore to uphold the constitution?

We have gun privileges, we can purchase a gun in most places your state of residency or neighboring state in someplace, go through a background check and walk out with it. There is a big difference. Edit to add: we wouldn't need a permit for pistols or concealed carry. Suppressors would be a normal everyday accessory. SBR, SBS would just be another firearm.

How many times has this been brought up about the Campfire and worthless posts by trolls and we have been told we don’t need a moderator, we need to ignore the trolls. The same can be said about the requests for money, ignore them, but if you think the NRA doesn’t need money to fight against the anti-gun crowd, you are mistaken. They call me too, and I did upgrade to Endowment Life member, but I don’t send money every phone call either...

If that were true, the NRA would not have sued New York in the case thet the Supreme court just agreed to hear. Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
