That's all I need to know about the author's views of the NRA. I don't pay the NRA to compromise with gun grabbers.
I guess they do it for free, then, cause they certainly do it.
But I do expect results from my gun organization. That means the NRA is responsible for Castle Doctrine, the end of the assault weapons ban, protection for gun manufacturers, CCW laws, the 2000 election and the lawsuits in behalf of the Katrina victims shared with the SAF.
No other gun organization comes close to the NRA as the number one lobbiest group.
By all means join another group but also join the NRA.
