The NRA cannot be trusted to fulfil it's presumed purpose.<br /><br />I didn't always feel this way but as many pointed out, they were missing every time there was a fight. Then, when they found that others were going to make one anyway, and would probably win, they immediately tried to take it over, and the calls for funding increased. I know this because I observing it and was on the receiving end of it, as were many others.<br /><br />Gun owners and the American people have been betrayed by everyone connected to politics and the judiciary, and the media (mustn’t forget them!) who seem to gain the greatest satisfaction from wiping the posteriors with the Bill of Rights and Constitution.<br /><br />May their bones bleach in the sun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-66115962665444070302015-03-31T00:54:07.784-05:002015-03-31T00:54:07.784-05:00I am as opposed to so-called 'gun control'...I am as opposed to so-called 'gun control' as anyone. However, I cannot support any organization that supports or recognizes ANY gun laws whatsoever beyond the Second Amendment itself. <br />I do not trust any government, or agency thereof, to keep its word on ANY subject. therefore I protect my God-given rights myself. No one can or will do it for me, except it be in their own interests to do so. Thus, I trust only individuals like myself, and no manipulatable organizations or groups.<br />Always shop at BlackMart- where we don't KNOW you !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-36543034438826235642015-03-30T18:53:32.775-05:002015-03-30T18:53:32.775-05:00When after years of loyal NRA membership, and havi...When after years of loyal NRA membership, and having acted as a hunting safety instructor and rangemaster, I discovered that only life members have a vote for a really limited slate of directors. The NRA had become the type of fund raising political machine I abhor.<br /><br />After declining to renew my dues, I had to change my home phone number and PO Box to stop the onslaught of paid solicitors. I also dropped my instruction and range duties.<br /><br />NRA has got nothing from me for a long time. Regular members are just cash cows with no vote. I send my cash to GOA and local groups. "Lairds of Fairfax" is an apt name for those who would be elitists at the expense of Constitutional Rights, which were given to us by the Founders, and taken away by no one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-91158943239909047802015-03-30T18:04:49.823-05:002015-03-30T18:04:49.823-05:00HEY, NRA!

The Second Amendment is a...Here is the basic fact. <br />The Second Amendment is a preemption of the absolute highest order - plain and unambiguous- enshrined directly in our Constitution- the HIGHEST law of the land. It is a plain statement of individual right left SOLELY to the people themselves - NOT a tenth amendment issue hence. <br /><br />The NRA opposes constitutional carry - it did so OPENLY in my state after promising it would not toss open carriers under the bus - but it did exactly that. It partnered with democrats on a bill that BANS all carriage of rifles. It advocated the election of a known gun banner as well. <br /><br />But that aside, the state preemption CON is the worst! It is an affront to the Second itself. It undermines the federal preemption and attempts to empower the states with authority IT CANNOT HAVE because it's a RIGHT that is EXPRESSLY left to the PEOPLE ourselves. State preemption is a huge con - got magazine bans? Got suppressor bans? Got, well, you get the point. The NRA emboldens state governments to do these things, to exert power it cannot legitimately have. That makes the NRA a GUN CONTROL group! <br /><br />Every championed concealed carry legislation is ACTUALLY a GUN CONTROL BILL!!! Let's just face that ok? <br /><br />I don't disagree that there are good folks within the NRA, but good folks often do bad things sometimes out of ignorance. Some may not want to hear it but it's just true- the NRA has EARNED the Negotiating Rights Away label. It's exactly what it has done. <br /><br />One must ask, if good folks KNOW they are doing wrong, because they have been SHOWN what is wrong AND why it's wrong, and they continue to DO wrong knowingly, how can they remain good people? <br /><br />I used to believe the "work on the inside to make things better" excuse but I've learned my lesson. There is no fixing the NRA from the "inside". Those in control DONT THINK ANYTHING IS BROKEN!!! <br /><br />The NRA doesn't care about a kid expelled over a pop tart or even a kid wearing a NRA shirt. They don't care about you me or our rights. Those folks care about conning people out of their money - so they can hook their buddies in congress up with donations. Got Harry Reid? <br /><br />No thanks. I'll continue to call the NRA just EXACTLY what is ACTIONS demonstrate. It's a disguised, operating behind closed doors GUN CONTROL organization that is bent on destroying federal preemption,supplanting Amendment Two with manufactured State Preeemption. That way it can ensure survival of the due process incorporation (permission slip structure) that sees the NRA "trainers" unjustly enriched. Oppose the obamacare individual mandate factor? Yeah, the NRA literally fights to KEEP government imposed mandate called training it just "happens" to provide. There's NO difference. <br /><br />The NRA is acting as a insulator between us and our rights while claiming to be a conduit to them. Think about thr brutal irony - they are saying "we will protect and defend your right to defend yourself(just send us money) - you don't need to bother with defending your right to defend yourself. Let the "professionals" handle it. (I had a NRA lobbyist actually say that to me!). PS. Send us more money!!! PSS. Send more money and get this "free" duffle bag. <br /><br />Yeah uh huh. The NRA is a con and I ain't aftaid to say it. Not should anyone else be!

'Showed their true colors!! Ever since, they have gotten not one thin dime from me and I let my then membership lapse. Boy did they crank up the propaganda for me to come back to the fold after that, but still, not one dime!! Since I've tossed my hat in the Ring with GOA!!!
