I agree, it's counterproductive to split the troops, welcome them all, gun carrying tree hugger or card carrying pink pistol, we need every boot on the ground on our side.nitrogen wrote:When the NRA does things like this, it shoots itself in the foot. Believe it or not, there are plenty of liberal/democratic 2a supporters. Picking fights over things that have nothng to do with RKBA is counterproductive. I think the NRA should welcome people who like Al Gore's movie into the fold. I think it'd be better for the NRA's credibility.
It seems to me that the NRA assumes that all of it's members are republicans, and most of them tow the republican party line. I think that assumption hurts its credibility terribly.
Having said all that, I'm a member. I've been a member for about 10 years, and I will continue to be. They are still the best game in town.
They can be so much better, though.

It wasn't that long ago that the Hearst newspapers sponsored a shooting contest, well, 60 years or so, but the sea change in "journalism" that occurred in the McCarthy era swung most of the media hard left and they seem to have stuck there. I have had several friends in major media outlets who agreed that our 2ndA rights were being trampled on by rough shod 1stA flag wavers, but none of them has been in a high enough position to affect any change.
Corporate inertia and the "good old boys network" happens in the networks too.
