What is it you wanted to point out at that link? So, I added that for a little balance. There are far more scathing links I could provide. Note the person writing it is pretty moderate yet still backs up my assertions.. now hear what the NRA and Trump have unleashed on us, from a former ATF technical guy. Today Trump made some seriously tyrannical and delusional statements about not following due process of law, and even attacked a pro gun Congressman for "taking NRA money".. we are in BIG trouble But upon reading your responses it's clear you have an agenda and you will not hear anything I'm saying, so I won't be further responding to your posts on this thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMRzLaRU_oI share your concern with what Trump has been saying lately. I agree we are in big trouble. After the primary (in which I did not vote for Trump) what was our alternative? Would you rather have Clinton? I dont see what the alternative was here. For what its worth I actually dont have an agenda. At least one person on this site can probably attest to that. But if you dont want to respond to me anymore for debating with you thats okay. Although I wish you would.

I asked this on Facebook and mentioned here it before. What the actual fuck is the NRA going to do about Trump?
They better be in his face.

If they opposed Trump, that would go a long way to start to earn my trust back at least. But just a first step.

Dang right I still support the NRA. We are losing because we have bunch #funkmetoo limp dick gun owners. They bitch and bitch. The left just goes at the throat while we wack off.
So stop your whining and support them all. Tell Walmart and Dick's to go rub one off but without their balls it might not work.
Stand together people, pull your heads out of your Ass and fight. An AR15 is just a 10/22 painted black.

Lol. Thank you for reinforcing why many of us, including those within the industry have dropped support for the NRA. The NRA loves people like you that foolishly follow blindly and will waste your money and get nothing for it. Glad I posted this, I’ve seen all I needed to see to prove my point.

Gotta be one of the stupidest and short sighted posts I've read in a long time... I'm glad I'll never have to share a foxhole with you. Don't think you'd be looking out for anyone but yourself, since your view is the only one that matters.

Looks like the same hidden limp dicks saying they have guns but want common sense gun control. Whats up BlaineandBullets, you cant be for real but just hiding out surfing the men channel. Need a date. I suggest the #fuckMeToo forum. Thats where all the women bitch about getting harassed. Of course thats after they get the money. I call that a pissed hore. Sorry to get personal but you are what mess it up for all of use.
The Dem and libs don't eat their young, thats why they win most the time. The rest of us just want to be left alone and are to lazy to vote. Nothing is ever good enough. I just need my shotgun, what the heck do I need a AR for.
So I don't blindly follow the NRA, just something to get back at the dang hidden liberals. Hey, is Ellen on at 2 or 3 today?

You are not helping the situation, just poisoning the well, please stop it. The NRA was not created to please you, they were not even created to fight for gun rights, they were created to foster sportsmanship and marksmanship. They were forced to defend the Second Amendment and are doing the best they can, how about you try taking on the media onslaught??

Thanks to a PMs I have been able to have some heated and constructive conversations with a few members. Have talked to some close friends and have decided to renew my membership. BUT, all my funds will be directly only to NRA-ILA (I think that’s one it is) thanks to those who took the time to have open dialogue and either shared knowledge or directed me to places to find information. I still disagree with a lot of the bullshit the NRA pulls, but at least now I know where my money is really going and who to contact if I disagree.

Like any organization you're not going to get the total satisfaction from any one of them. That being said I've been a life member since 1994 and will continue to support them. What are the alternatives besides other orgs that diss them and cannot agree on anything constructive.
