Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bashing the NRA

Whenever the subject comes up, certain posters have got to bash the NRA for not being perfect. They have posted six criticisms:

1. “Wha, wha, the NRA keeps soliciting me for funds, mailing me and calling me.”

2. “The NRA didn’t do (bleep) for my cause (doesn’t fight in New York, didn’t sue in Heller).”

3. “The NRA supported some gun control law in 1934.”

4. “The NRA supports ‘Red Flag” laws.

5. “I’d rather spend my money on hunting and reloading.

6. “I sent them my money for Life Membership and they stiffed me.”

Well, here are the answers to these concerns.

1. It takes money to succeed. If the NRA didn’t raise more money than the cost of the fundraising, it wouldn’t do it, moron.

2. The NRA puts its efforts where it thinks it can win. Perhaps that doesn’t include New York. But it’s won in a lot of other places. Like Kentucky just this week. Heller? They were concerned the effort would not succeed. They were wrong, just like any other organization is wrong from time to time. They reassess and go on.

3. It ain’t 1934, dummy. (You know who I mean here.)

4. The NRA believes that, practically, we’re either going to prevent mentally ill loons from committing mass shootings or there will be enough ire from the majority of the voters, who are not “gun guys,” that we’ll lose all. Makes sense to me. But the Red Flag laws would have to have due process, and not be based on unfounded allegations.

5. You’re a freeloader.

6. Get serious.

The NRA is pretty darned effective. When the overwhelming sentiment of .gov was to ABOLISH assault rifles in the 1990s, NRA got the law massaged to (a) grandfather all existing rifles, (b) only last 10 years, (c) outlaw nothing except cosmetic features of Ar15s and high-cap magazines, and (d) got the effectivity delayed so that, all during the 10 years, high-cap magazines could be bought very cheaply.

When background checks were overwhelmingly passed during the 1990s, NRA got it made instant, so you didn’t have to wait 30 days.

If you don’t like the NRA, did you ever think about contacting the field rep for your area and asking why they did something, or suggest what they should do. Aren‘t their names in the magazines?

You whiners and complainers remind me of all the loons who stayed out of the 2008 and 2012 elections because the “R” candidate wasn’t perfect and then complained about Obama for eight years.

So if you don’t want to support the NRA, the Libs will win and that’ll ultimately give you three choices:

1. Hide your guns. Don’t ever take them out to the range.

2. Forget your guns. Take up tennis or water ballet.

3. Ruby Ridge.

Good post.
Surprised at the bad info some of these guys are trying to spread. One of my favorites took place a few weeks ago, The clowns were quoting Michael Bloomberg publications as a reliable source for info about NRA activities. Gullible, foolish and wrong.

Phugg em. When they get gun control shoved up their azzes; laugh in their phugging faces

There’s already a way in TN for a judge to order someones guns be removed from their house based on potential danger to their self or others. More gun laws is not the answer. Believe whatever you like though .

Due process is for losers.

Return On Investment - envision the NRA as a publicly traded company: I wouldn't buy one share considering their lackluster performance over the decades. They'd be a penny stock outfit and the clown of Wall Street and Wayne LaPierre. would have been sacked a long time ago for his questionable leadership ability and playing fast and loose with the NRA's money.

Yeah, that's a pretty funny post. Given that just like a capitalist corporation, the NRA has its board of directors who make the deep decisions and are elected by the members (stockholders). Back to the playroom with the other children, you.

Good post IndyCA35. Everyone has their rationalization for freeriding.

Speaking of which, time to renew my membership.

I’m a member but not necessarily gonna renew

You're chit and you smell like it

I’ll send Steelhead up there to stomp a mud hole in your azz stone cold Steve Austin style.

You just order from amazon and keep phuggiing them Washington boys. Do your part for the dickface crowd.

bump fer tn

Keep it up and Renegade will tagaalong and they’ll unleash on you tag team - Bushwacker style.

You should let them Washington boys put the boots to ya Fast and free

If you like boys, I’ll let you go ahead

I'm going to keep supporting the NRA. Maybe not perfect but they must be doing something right when the libs attack them at every turn. They do that because NRA is effective and is a threat to them acheiviing there ultimate goal of disarming the masses.

Good Post!

You got it pretty well correct on each point. I will keep donating to the NRA, and all the others also. Membership numbers and money is what makes them all effective!

"Bashing the NRA"

Okay. The NRA can KMA. How's that?
