Question everything including the NRA. I do.O6nop wrote:
There's no doubt the NRA is doing a lot for safety and education regarding firearms, but they don't have the market cornered on it. As far as RKBA, they are second to none, but strategies and opinions change and not everyone agrees with all that NRA stands for and they may be just as staunch supporters of RKBA as anyone. Some people don't agree with more government paid personnel to protect schools. And after all, from videos I've seen going around from 1999, Wayne LaPierre supported gun free school zones and background checks for all gun sales. I guess that was popular for gun owners back then, but of course I havent seen the full context. That opinion has certainly changed today, I guess. I am truly a supporter of RKBA but we should be able to question the NRA as our conscience demands, after all WE are not sheep. Being a NRA member myself, I made that a choice on it's merits, not a channel for another membership.
If an organization makes it one of their requirements and if you disagree then don't join.
Reagan told us to trust but verify.
There are many Pro-RKBA organizations out there. Join one and contribute to the cause.
