NRA’s lethargic response to the LEO gun grabbings in New Orleans after Katrina finished me with the organization. I also did not like all the junk mail and constant begging for money, even though I did like the insurance on my firearms.

Lethargic? They were the ones who were providing the principal legal muscle to file the lawsuits there in the wake of the gun-grabbing. What gave you the idea that they were lethargic? Maybe the New Orleans courts were lethargic...

When the LEOs in New Orleans and surrounding parrishes began disarming citizens, including that little old lady we all saw get roughed up on TV by that California SWAT Team, GOA was all over it immediately. But NRA was slow out of the gate.

See here: NRA Statement on New Orleans Gun Confiscations

The statement was dated September 12, 2005, well over a week after most of the incidents had occurred. Now, I will give the NRA credit for ultimately stopping the seizures (NRA files suit to stop firearms seizures in New Orleans) and (Major Victory For Firearms Owners And Freedom In Louisiana), but I well remember that first week, when me and all the other 2nd Amendment supporters on this board gnawed our tongues and gnashed our teeth in anger during that first week, with nary a peep out of the NRA on the seizures, not until the 12th.

Just read the posts on that first thread and you will get a sense of the frustration we felt at NRA for not getting its act together faster.
