You are also skeptical of the NRA,,,, I'm glad I'm NOT the only one. Some of it's past performances, one being a compromise that I'm confident your aware of, have led me feel the same way. I dropped them about 15 years ago and haven't returned. When you pay an entity you expect 101% from it. Especially a Constitutional issue. New Jersey lawmakers are, with-out a doubt, another thorn in our a$$e$. Hang m high!!!!

IN LIBERTY!!!!

“I dropped them about 15 years ago and haven’t returned”

Which groups do you support?

I think they've fallen into the same mindset that the Republican party has: that to address the problems is to relinquish power/comfort — you mention 101% being what you expect to get back, I'd be content with even 50% (happy with 70%). One of the reasons I'm rather jaded against them is because I've brought to their attention slam-dunk legal cases* (state-level) and been brushed off with the excuse we don't get involved in state matters.

* South Dakota has the following in their Constitution: A 6, § 24 — Right to bear arms. The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be denied., yet they also have statutes denying such in "courts" where 'court' is defined [essentially] as any State Building. / The Constitution of New Mexico (A 1, § 6)prohibits any law "abridg[ing] the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense", yet there are statutes prohibiting firearms on school grounds (including universities) and it is common for courthouses to post "no weapons, violators will be prosecuted" signs.
