As was said earlier, a broad front that presents several different arguments & viewpoints is to our benefit. But only if you don't have to continually be on the lookout for friendly fire. The GOA's chief marketing tactic seems to be centered on bashing the NRA. So I'll keep the following in mind: The knife wielded in your defense could just as easily end up planted firmly in your own back - if you're not careful.

:iagree:
That's their business model. What has GOA accomplished? If they are so effective, why is it that the anti-gunners demonize and target the NRA as blocking gun control legislation, while never mentioning GOA?
