They have finally come to realize they cannot endorse Democrats because they can't be trusted. And now, thanks to the NRA support, we have Donal J. Trump for president.Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-49776140640133514712018-02-03T10:57:59.799-05:002018-02-03T10:57:59.799-05:00the NRA needs your support. If you don't like...the NRA needs your support. If you don't like something they're doing - change it from the inside, don't just quit. You sound like you're pretty far right - which if fantastic. You say they are too left. By you leaving that only makes them more left. Be a voice for the right from the inside.

I watched your first installment and it was very good. While the NRA has done some very good work, they suffer from an internal set of rules that make them suffer from tunnel vision when it comes to politics. Since the NRA is a self-professed "single issue organization" they align themselves with just about anyone who has ever thrown them a bone about guns. Sen. Reid is a perfect example. After helping get a new shooting range built in Nevada, the NRA gave him an overwhelming dose of free publicity for it. The NRA also suffers from another rule that forces them to favor endorsements to incumbents over challengers. Republican Sharron Angle is a perfect example. She is a Life Member of the NRA and was denied getting their endorsement when she ran against Harry Reid. The ground swell of support she received from NRA members only resulted in the NRA giving no endorsement to either candidate. I favor the no-nonsense approach to politics that the Gun Owners of America use in backing candidates. The NRA seems oblivious to the fact that when they endorse a large number of Democrats they add to their numerical advantage in Congress. That is how Nancy Pelosi got to be Speaker of the House and Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader.Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-66211672034335564062013-02-16T10:21:49.537-05:002013-02-16T10:21:49.537-05:00Bravo on your work here!

That gun registration will ultimately end in confiscation of privately owned guns. And to remind you, just as past NRA president Charlton Heston once said, "The Second Amendment is the one amendment that protects all the other amendments." Without privately owned guns you won't enjoy Freedom of Speech or any other freedom.Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-58270918812931061452011-07-28T15:23:19.985-04:002011-07-28T15:23:19.985-04:00You are narrow-minded to exclude Democrats from NR...You are narrow-minded to exclude Democrats from NRA affairs, and to base virtually all your politics around gun ideology, and to flail the reputations of citizens who want mainly to ensure strict gun licensing procedures, not to ban private ownership. You clearly have no idea of the horrible effect that mass production of lethal firearms and their careless, widespread dissemination has had upon the safety and quality of life in American cities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
