That is my issue.

I believe there is a place in the 2nd Amendment rights movement for an organization that comes across as fire-breathing, radical, take-no-prisoners, and accept-no-compromises. In contrast, it makes the NRA look like the responsible adult in the room, and the NRA can always take the approach with a politician, "you can be reasonable and deal with me, or you can have the GOA after your . . . ".

However, the cynic in me also notes that the GOA has raised AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY over the years by demonizing the NRA instead of demonizing the anti-gun forces of Satan. That irritates me. We need to stay focused on the common enemy, not raising money by tearing down other pro-2A organizations.

I agree 100%
