Is this a separate rally?

Would appear so

That’s good news... I have been bothered by the lack of engagement on our side. Seems like people are starting to mobilize against this bs propaganda.

I think most gun owners don't think bans (that they care about) can actually happen, and are satisfied to sit at home and not engage on the political side of things. There are others who don't want to be part of something that overtly declares they are gun owners, which would obviously keep them at home, too.

I do think the tide of public opinion is turning on us, fueled largely by lies and the majority of humans' desire to be told what to think by the news or celebrities. It is inexcusable in this political climate for gun owners not to be members of the NRA. It's like saying "I don't like King George's rules and taxes, but I don't agree 100% with Washington and Jefferson either so I will just sit this out."

Last I read, there were 120 million gun owners in the US. If even half of them were NRA members we would have almost unstoppable political clout. Yet, we struggle along, bouncing between 3-6 million members and hope that politicians remember they tend to get voted out of everywhere except the urban centers when they vote anti gun.

I have more to say on the topic but the typing is slowing down again and between the speed and having to go back and pick up dropped letters it's too frustrating! Anyone else having keyboard trouble on here?

Umm... I have a great excuse why I am not, nor will I ever be a member of the NRA. I don't want to pay them to lobby for gun control, help with gun control legislation, or call for the BATF to implement more anti-gun regulations. Unfortunately, I did donate to them before I realized they are only about the money and not our 2A rights.

I was also under the impression that the NRA fought for gun rights until my father (worked in the Florida legislature) told me about the NRA lobbying for gun control during the Bush administration. Since then I've done my own research and found that they have had a hand in most of the anti-2A legislation in the past 40-50 years.

Ok, so you have better information than the rest of us. What do you and your father purpose that we do to stop further infringement on our constitutional rights? If you know of a better organization , by all means share it with us. I send the national rifle association a sizable check every year and would like for it to go where it will do the most good.

GOA is pretty good. I personally support both.

Well, most of the info is out there for anyone to research. The NRA has been behind more anti 2A legislation (that passed) than George Soros.

I wasn't quite the "gun guy" I am now when my father told me that, so I didn't care to ask anymore about it. My father just hated lobbyist because it was all about money. I'm not against lobbyist, but against the power that politicians have to grant favors because of lobbyist. We were just debating that point, and he was pointing out that the NRA was lobbying for gun control to scare the people into giving more money during a time when we were complacent (G. W. administration). This is what caused me to look into them once I became so involved in guns years later.

GOA is a good national one, probably the best one to replace the NRA.

Without some solid proof, that sounds like some tin-foil hat stuff right there. C/H looks like he did some good research there and that would take the other group right out of the running. Lobbyists are necessary, even if some of them are smarmy at times, and I'm glad we have some really good ones working with the NRA.
