AND just which NRA “stances” do do you know to be fallacious of late? Do be specific, with references, or be gone!

Just renewed my NRA membership for 5 years. That said the NRA pushes a view that 2A rights trump property rights, and I don't adhere to that (laws to force businesses to allow carry). They also pushed a law in Florida that would have totally dictated what a doctor can ask a patient, which should be between the patient and the doctor.

In my opinion, there is no separation between 2A rights and other rights, they are all important, with property rights being the most critical (if you have no property rights to defend, the 2A is just a hunting license).

I wish the NRA was more broad based on the principles of liberty.

I agree that ALL rights are important, but I take the view that since the 2A’s basic purpose is to resist government tyranny, then without the 2A, ALL the others will soon be in danger and we will have no effective recourse remaining.

Florida’s problem with doctors grilling patients about guns in the home is basically 1) gun ownership has nothing to do with a patient’s health, and 2) many lib organizations equate gun ownership as the equivalent of active promotion of violence in the home which is a fake strawman intended to further restrict gun ownership.
