If it means understanding things in a deeper/clearer way to be more effective, then no, it isn't. It takes time and a willingness to let go of preconceived notions, I.e. Admitting that a prior way of understanding was wrong. Some call it growth.

Did LaPierre give you a reach around?

If someone wants to support the various organizations that is their choice. If they don't, that is their choice.

Why make a Federal case of it?

Last time I checked American Citizens still have Freedom of Choice, when did that change?

I don't see anyone in this conversation complaining about those that choose to belong to the various organizations, that is their business and more power to them.

You oughta make this your signature Randall....you've typed it so many times it'd be sure to save you loads of time going forward. I'm pretty sure everyone here understands freedom of choice and the right to an opinion by now.

I can't recall after watching him screw your ass. Just like in here, you've got a high squeal.

Well, if we're lucky, Trump will win and build a wall on the northern border of Texas. How many left wing anti's have you given a convincing argument to regarding firearms? Or do you just stay in your little bubble and whine? Oh wait, that doesn't matter. Let the NRA do it.

And tell me again your interaction with ILA? The only thing funnier is "NRA certified firearms instructor" At best, they don't reload and shoot themselves in the other foot. You'd enjoy shooting at NRA headquarters too. It's big, loud, and full of shit. Much like yourself.

But not being from Texass, I don't know anything. Carry on and remember to pinch the tip before you roll it down.

Really enjoyed it, didn't you?

No they don't, and your reply shows that!

As stated , if you are a gun owner and value that right you should be an NRA member and help clean that organization up just as we need to send a lot of our congressmen and senators packing. 16 bore an CHC have their way, it's inevitable we lose our rights because one does not care(maybe both) and the other is too cheap and lazy.

Jeezus fucking krist....

Please explain how a poorly published over priced gun rag is the fine line of freedom. I've heard the same fucking bullshit for 30+ years and the only fucking thing I can't waltz into a store and buy is a switchblade knife.

But if they insure you're shooting range, bet your ass you'll be carrying a card and get 1/2 dozen emails/letters a week begging for cash.

But it's not for profit. Not at all.

Because our A-hole senators and wannabes covet the NRA endorsement. It does carry some clout.

Getting back to the origin of this discussion. I/E getting too many mailings,etc. Lord knows I have to be on everyone's mailing list. A few years ago I heard of an organization called cataloguechoices.org (or com,I forget).Anyway they are a green outfit commited to stop the tree cutting.All well + good as most of us those mailings in the trash.Pull them up,scroll down to any catalogues you are receiving + they will do the rest,no charge. Hopefully they still exist.

You are one pathetic piece of white trash. I have owned guns and hunted since I was 15, I will be 66 in less than a month, and I can still go out and buy whatever gun and/or ammunition I want.

I have watched this crap for probably as long as you have and read/heard the exact same line of crap. It is people like you that present a bigger risk to the Second Amendment than any other group. You live in a damn fantasy world.

Poor old you, having to ignore or, worse yet, open a few emails or envelopes. What difference does it make if the future generations, who need representation NOW, not later, don't have the hunting or gun owning priviledges you have enjoyed? Fuck 'em, you don't want to support my and their rights and hunting, you're just too busy to get over not being treated EXACTLY like you wish.

I note that several on this thread don't have kids. Figures.

I can certainly agree with Gato on that! Damn straight!

I will be joining NAAGA. Thank you 16Boor.

I think it should be any concerned hunters position to NEVER hunt with, be guided by, or in any way support someone who isn't at least an NRA member and therefore doesn't support the NRA;s helping to protect all of our gun owning rights. Obviously this would not apply to non-USA based operations.

That's some hyperbole. So much for freedom of speech/thought/association.

So as a hunter I have a single source to rely on for hunting/gun rights. Eh, nice monopoly.

One thing I hear from foreign/non US hunters in camps is how much they wish they had an organization like the NRA.

While they are not perfect, and may need a housecleaning, they are the 1000# gorilla in the room.

It's nothing more than a hot button topic used to fund political campaigns. Always has been, always will be. The "argument" is an industry itself just like abortion. NRA needs the fight as do the antis. Lotsa checks get cut on both sides and everyone claims victory.


I do love the "if they keep pushin', we're gonna show up to DC with our guns"


Guess again, you ain't doing jack shit...

So do you donate money to PETA? Why not?

What's the difference between PETA and the NRA?



.....the spelling.

Same as the difference between Republicans and Democrats. You're so perceptive.

funny how shit works.

The anti-gun groups such as Democrats and Liberal organizations consistently bash one group over and over and that is the NRA. Why? because the NRA is the biggest obstacle in their way of making the 2nd Amendment obsolete.
A lot of people find it easier not to support the NRA and let others do the battling for them while making excuses as to why they don't. Kinda like when only three percent of the American population stood up to and fought the British Empire while the others sat back and watched. I am sure they had some things to say about the Patriots too, like I am not going to support them as they are disorganized, or I don’t like what Washington spends the donations on, etc.
If you don’t want to join or support the NRA fine, don’t bash those who do or the organization as regardless of what you think or your daddy told you the NRA is about protecting and upholding the 2nd Amendment.

What happened to Freedom Of Choice among Americans?

You're only free to think like the rest of the sheeple. If you're a gun owner and don't wake up every morning pissed of at the world, you should sell your shit. You don't deserve to own anything because you didn't buy a magazine subscription.

When I started this post I didn't realize it would raise such emotion. That really is what I like about this forum, emotion. By the way I would never give up my NRA membership in spite of all the mailings.

Neither would I,phone calls included.DAMN,
I remember this country before 1968. I guess that is what really chaps my ass.How dare these traitors continue to steal away our rights to support their own adjenda? I am totally sick that I should have to continue to pay for the support that was already guaranteed by our own bill of rights.No reason to get your blood up however,just remember that when 'they'ask for firearms +/or records we will just NOT obey.Hmm,I can only suppose that king barry can read this w/o his spectacles.
