What's "10 million information"?
The accusation against the NRA is nothing more than a smear tactic and I find it HIGHLY suspicious that someone who just joined FR would troll something like this.
Yep. After the Republican party, I'd guess the NRA is the largest political target for leftist extremists.
and posts nothing but Western Shtg Journal blog articles....
Linked article written around a Buzzfeed NRA hit piece. No thanks!
Rover3 also, in his short time here, has a history of posting an article and then rarely joining the conversation in the following thread.
I hate to bandwagon. But.....
I STAND WITH THE NRA, JFPFO AND GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA.
rover3 - Posting this trash is irresponsible. Watch what you post and what you say. You are borderline troll.
Tupelo - You sicken me. You greedily swallow the bait of this article and ejaculate your ignorant comments all over the place.
Neither of you further the cause of conservatism.
Maybe you should read the little red warning when you post.

Um, isn't that your Representative's job?
NRA doesn’t pretend to police power.
At least pretend to be a conservative before you post.
No, the Representative’s job is to represent Congress to you. That’s why they spend most of their time at Town Halls explaining to the citizens why their latest crap sandwich is a good thing.
It’s been turned around that way for some time.
I’m not reading the article.
The premise is ridiculous and Western Shooting and Concealed Carry, GOA and a few others have similar information.
How the The heck are they suppose to reach out and inform, much less gain new members without this information.
Same thing with their insurance.
They have to know who you are to offer you their services.
You have to willingly consent to a relationship with them for whatever reason you have.
The government is not entitled to that information for any reason other than a 4th Amendment warrant and not some NSA type of trawling expedition, not even for so called meta-data which is private information as well.
If the US government ever invests in NRA, like they they with the communications companies, then I’ll worry about it.
Yes, based on what they do, I'm going to say that they're more interested in donations than in beating back contraconstitutional gun 'laws' — this is further supported by several of their recent involvement in court cases where they "help" by asking for the narrow ruling rather than a likely-accepted broad ruling.
Remember that bureaucracies exist to continue the bureaucracy, first and foremost: they will not do their stated mission if doing it would result in the bureaucracy's demise. (See welfare.) Associations and such can fall into similar traps, and I think that's where the NRA is: if they were to vigorously oppose contraconstitutional gun laws then they would lose the scare factor
of things like the jump in membership with Obama's election and so.
Otherwise, we have to thank the NRA, whether we find a few faults here are there or not.
More than a few, I think. It's my opinion that they aren't all that interested in sticking up fro gun-rights; especially as I've seen state-law slam-dunk cases be blown off because we don't get involved in state-level stuff
.
Geezus! Is it August already?
Oh come on!
After pushing Romney, the Republicans are leftists.
IATZ! That was fast.
Thanks, my work here is done! (-:
“The NRA represents you to the Congress. It pays to join and stay joined.”
I agree, I was just responding to what I sensed was an attack on the NRA.

Punk the prez? - Moby’s anti-Bush tricks
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1074278/posts
New York Daily News ^ | 2/09/04 | Rush & Molloy
One of Sen. John Kerry’s celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet. “No one’s talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day,” Moby tells us. “It’s a lot easier than you think and it doesn’t cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes.”
Moby suggests that it’s possible to seed doubt among Bush’s far-right supporters on the Web.
“You target his natural constituencies,” says the Grammy-nominated techno-wizard. “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.
“Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What’s all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’”
Moby didn’t claim that he believed the abortion story.
Last month, Bush did propose reforms to immigration policy. But he insisted, “I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship [because it] perpetuates illegal immigration.”
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson likened Moby’s proposal to “dirty campaign tactics we’re already seeing from John Kerry.”
“His campaign was willing to use these kinds of voter suppression tactics against members of his own party in Iowa and New Hampshire,” Iverson says. “John Kerry is a hypocrite. He pledged to run a clean campaign. Then he uses the lowest form of gutter politics to impugn his opponents, Democratic and Republican. It’s unfortunate but this is probably just the beginning of the kind of tactics we’re going to be seeing from John Kerry in the months to come.”
Michael Moore has also suggested to his followers that Leftists should all join the NRA to vote in their own leadership of the organization and subvert it from within.
