I had this discussion with a coworker, and I really liked the response I gave him:

No, you're not anti-gun. You're wrong, but you're not anti-gun :D

The NRA has a LOT of work to do to improve itself, but I decided I won't encourage them to do it by not giving 'em at least a BIT of money, so I did.

They still get my dander up at times, but then again, so does about every advocacy org I belong to.

Except for the EFF. They rock.

Let's play the what-if game here.
(no, I'm not really for any of these things I'm about to propose)

Let's say private sales are still legal w/o NICS or FFL, EXCEPT at gun shows.
At a gun show, you'd go to a "NICS BOOTH" pay $5-$10 and get a "bg check cert" for 2 peopel to sell a gun.

How many people would have a problem with this? It'd let the anti's think they ended the "gun show loophole" yet private party sales are still legal. As would meeting in the parking lot, 20 miles away to continue the transaction.

In return, we asked for no movement on an AWB for 4-8 years.
