I dropped my NRA membership several years ago - to many compromises - and multiple WEEKLY solicitations via mail and phone for donations...
I rather support an organization that is no-compromise, of which there are a few.
Same reasons I dropped mine long ago.
***and multiple WEEKLY solicitations via mail and phone for donations...***
That is no reason to quit. it requires $$$MONEY$$$ to lobby congress. I get lots of solicitations from them, AND SAF and CCKRBA.
So, lets see what laws the anti-gunners have tried to force on us without the NRA stopping them.
1961. We don’t want to take your guns away, we only want to register handguns. Long guns will not be affected.
1964. We don’t want to take your guns away. We only want to register all of them!
1968. We don’t want to take your sporting guns away. We ONLY want to register them and ban ONLY the import of foreign Saturday night specials and five shot WWII military bolt action rifles!
1968 “Today we make America safe by taking the guns out of the hands of criminals!”...LBJ when he signed the 1968 gun control act into law.
1971. We don’t want to take your sporting guns away, we ONLY want to ban Saturday night specials.
1976. We don’t want to take your long guns away. We ONLY want to ban all handguns!
(From the original Handgun Control Inc group)....”We only want to control handguns. Long guns will not be affected.”
1981. The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns! And they can keep their rifles!
1989. We don’t want to ban your hunting rifles and shotguns. We ONLY want to ban handguns AND Assault rifles and shotguns.
We ONLY want to ban assault rifles and shotguns AND all fifty cal. rifles and handguns!
I could go into more detail but that is plenty. Thankfully the NRA has been a lightning rod for such claims.
For those who are not NRA members do you really think you personally have the clout to sway congress and hold off an organized attempt by the Brady bunch and others? Can you come up with enough money to buy air time to counter the false claims of George Sorios and his billions?
If not YOU NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE NRA!
