Where do you want it to go?

The reality is multi-faceted. We need organizations such as the NRA, GOA and RMGO to keep tabs on things to assist those of us who cannot hover over the sites and lists that show new and pending legislative action.

We cannot simply idle and wait for them to tell us what action to take or simply rely on any one source. This is a multi-front battle for our rights.

So while folks want to demean the NRA - go for it, I'm not their biggest fan either - they serve a useful purpose. The free membership is a good way to at least be part of one of those fronts. The rest, well most of us would like to think we're active, but honestly boys and girls, when was the last time you pulled face time with your elected officials? If you've done so, bravo.. the majority cannot be bothered with the effort. Something is better than nothing, even though we all know more must be done.

So get off your high horses about the NRA, they are a tool, much like the other local and national organizations. Use them and use them hard. But you'd better damn well step the hell up and make your voice heard, otherwise you are but a digit in the database and not being truly counted!

I have a different take on the "free" part. I think it is like any lobbying group-- what they need most is MONEY to sway the politicains and reach more people to gain influence. If you believe strongly in the cause they promote, you should be willing to pony up cash because the liberal anti-gunners have no problem supporting their agendas as evidenced by the last election.
