Or the SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) or the CCRKBA (Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms) while you are at it. The more pro-gun organizations at the podium, the better!

...unfortunately, too many people in this country have the long term memory of a goldfish and it likely won't lastI think you owe the goldfish an apology.

THE INFLUENCE GAME: NRA clout shapes policy agendaHow presumptious of the NRA and its members to think that they have the right to influence policy when wiser liberal heads in the media, academia, and the republican and democratic parties should shape policy without any influence from the public - uppity public!

I am the NRA.

Why not do both?
I’m a Life Member of the NRA and a gun owner...

Thanks for those words of wisdom.
I didn’t see lines to help McCain/Palin at the Republican headquarters but I do see lines at the gunshows.
I don’t see people spending the money to join the NRA but they have money to spend on guns and ammunition at three times the price.
People who bitch about a few NRA letters in their mailbox won’t be the ones defending their freedoms when it gets bad.
And it’s going to be really, really bad.

Join the NRA, GOA, or any of the various pro gun lobby group (there is even a drag queen pro gun group!)

So am I and I agree with you. My message was to those who are running out and buying AR-10's or whatever else, but are not signing up to be NRA members. My message is that its more important to sign up to the NRA, GOA and any state level gun rights groups than it is to buy an AR-10. You will do more to protect America's 2nd amendment right by being an NRA member than you will by buying a gun. For sure, buy as many guns as you are able, but become a member of the NRA first.

I am an NRAember, too. By the way, the Full Auto Ban Amendment to the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act never REALLY passed! And the BATF knows it. It was just on a voice vote, and the Nays WAY outweighed the Yeas on the Amendments adoption ballot! I heard it! Tip ONeal just PROCLAIMED that it passed, to the GASPS of many in attendence, and the minority Repubs could not challenge him because of the parlimentary rules in effect at the time! HONEST! History!
