Demand more from the goa such as the lawsuits against Chicago, Oak Park and Evanston.

Demand they do more for gunrange protection.

Demand they join the fight with lawsuits against the anti’s.

Demand they act more like the Second Amendment Foundation and the NRA or else you’re just wasting your money.

No disrespect intended but you might also want to place most of those demands on the frigging NRA, You know as well as I that over the years they have become lackluster at best! They stepped aside during the Heller battle while the GOA filed briefs in his and the 2As defense, the GOA has TIMELY activism emails and letters...

I held an NRA membership through my entire military career, but after I saw what they were doing... making backroom deals with politicians to water down legislation just to get something passed, I left!

The NRA (for now) has about quadruple the membership and funds of the GOA but are they throwing the bulk of that power directly into a lot of the battles happening, no they would rather do organizational fund raising, hold shooting matches, seminars and send out rifleman magazines.

I dropped the NRA years ago do to their politicization of a lot of 2A issues, instead of FIGHTING for the 2A they were making back rooms deals and watering down critical legislation, I joined the GOA and have been extremely happy with their performance and actions to date.

The ONLY reason I am rejoining the NRA is hopefully we can clean the organization out and again have a group that gets up and fights for our rights instead of holding frigging gun matches and seminars!

WE need all hands in this battle, so you can play the petty “who’s the better gun rights group” POLITICS or you can welcome all of the many other 2A groups into the fray and kick some butt!

I Actually think a lot of this GOA vs NRA tension comes directly from the NRA as they have watched their base whittle away over the years do to their inaction and refusal to take on the tough fights...

When some one is stepping on you toes and calling you out for your bad moves, you can either fight back or back away and do name calling which is what the NRA and its members have been doing for awhile now.

As I said we need all hands in the upcoming battles, so I think the opposing groups need to take a “chill pill” and lets get on with it!
