NAGR spends more than every gun group combined on lobbying

[Great-Kazoo]

I get the emails, I have been a member for 4-5 years. I read them and donate if I think it is worthwhile and delete. I get lots of mailings from the NRA as well, donate when I can and throw the others away. Seems like a pretty easy task in order to support those who are sticking up for gun owners. To each their own.

If you've been a rmgo member for a few years. Why concern yourself now with other opinions? If you were not happy with them you would have not renewed your membership, again, and again.

I don't believe, in fact I know I didn't say I was unhappy with them in previous posts. I was just trying to get some takes here from members here about why RMGO appears to be disliked by some people on this board. So far I have I have gotten they send a lot of emails. I guess I was just trying to have a conversation about something I have been curious about.

I am a new member to this site but have been viewing for sometime and there appears to be a dislike for RMGO here. I am just curious about the reasons Can some folks share?

Dudley only comes on here when he needs money. For someone who considers them self an "instructor" with his other group and such a gun rights advocate, he doesn't contribute shit here. I'll leave my personal feelings about Dudley's BS aside for another conversation...

[BCMEAG]

Post above, I can understand that frustration.

[TFOGGER]

I think the frustration of most with RMGO/Dudley is tied to the tendency to attack the tactics of the NRA, and work counter to their initiatives, rather than join forces with them. Granted, I don't always agree with the NRA's stance on every issue, and RMGO's "no compromise" approach has a lot of appeal. United we stand, divided, we fall.

[BCMEAG]

Yep, that was a turn off to me as well when I first joined RMGO and made me take a wait and see approach as well. Why are we bickering when we are on the same side? I think in the last couple of years the NRA and RMGO are closer than they've been in the past. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems the NRA is taking a tougher stance with less compromising than in the past. Unfortunately for us gun owners these gun groups are in competition for our memberships and dollars sometimes at the detriment of us gun owners.

That's a question you should ask RMGO.

[BCMEAG]

That's the problem when you have two entities that think two different roads of travel are best. I am starting to believe the no compromise position of RMGO (NAGR) is best being that there is no compromise with the 2A. I was a hard core off road dirt biker for years and we continuously compromised with the enviros; we gave up trails and never got anything in return.

However much of that 3 million was spent, fighting to keep from Kalifornicating Colorado's gun laws, didn't help.

And when we were trying to fight it, rallying at the capitol, you were asked if you would be there.

No, I won't. I'll be on an airplane, heading to D.C..... again.

Speaks volumes, doesn't it?

[BCMEAG]

Yep, he probably should have been here, but it probably wouldn't have helped as you are not going to change liberal minds; they hate guns. I think Mr. Brown is correct in that the best action is at election time to get officials elected that are pro gun. Once your adversaries have won elections there is not much you can do as they have their agenda. Plus, from my brief encounters with Joe Neville he seems pretty competent.
