    If anything I see an NRA that's not very strong right now. Wayne Lapierre was terrible. He spoke like someone who as been beaten down. They needed to put someone up there who could speak eloquently and pationately. Protestors being able to interrupt the conference makes them look inept. Their message seems to lack any fangs. I dunno. This did nothing to convince me the NRA wouldn't throw us 'gun nuts' under the bus so long as their fudd members could keep their bolt action hunting rifles and break open shotguns.
    For your information that's called being Humble. regarding a line in the sand??? maybe, maybe not. Will the NRA stand fast against any proposed laws? Doubt it. However his talk hopefully put something in to peoples minds to think & talk about. The NRA is footing the bill for training & education. Obama and the anti's said it was time for meaningful action. Well the NRA just issued talking points and Ideas lets see how willing they are to actually Talk about what can be done vs what should be.

    I'm not talking about his message. I agree with the message. I'm talking about his technique, his mannerisms, he ability to hold an audience. I wasn't expecting them to be spewing fire and rhetoric. But his speaking technique was not very eloquent. The NRA needed a skilled orator to get people outside of the 2A community to listen. I think they failed in this regard.

    Then honestly what is the point of any of this? If the NRA won't openly stand for us, an organization who is supposed to be our voice in government, then who will?
