The thing is that we need the NRA; even if in name only. They're the boogie man to the gun-grabbers who will feel even more emboldened if the NRA is gone.
Most of us know that other organizations (GOA and many others) are currently more deserving of our financial support; but they don't come close to the "name value" of the NRA. I pray for a new and improved NRA without Wayne-and-company.
Having said that; I will donate nothing more to the NRA until Wayne is gone.
You are 100% correct. In every respect.
What bothers me, and what might cost me friends, is what I see behind at least some of the comments related to the NRA.
The thing is there is probably no more opinionated, to include for minor reasons- disapproving group...than gun owners. In that I think that the overall concept of whatever it takes to keep our rights, sometimes gets lost. In the simplest terms, that which helps us is good- even if only a little bit. That which hurts us is bad, even if only a little bit (even if it is someone's idea of being more "pure to the cause"
The enemy of my enemy...is my friend...to some extent anyway. I can think of better ways to show my displeasure at the scandals of the NRA, than abandoning the organization.
Some will disagree, hopefully they can see we are on the same side. I fear that disagreement will be used against us all.
