    The anti NRA stuff is the main reason I've never become a member of RMGO or GOA. I can see some of their points (the NRA isn't perfect and there have been a couple times they compromised with the antis more than I think they should have), but we need unity, not division and while the NRA isn't always 100% right I still see them actually getting more done than RMGO or GOA.

    Again, I don't expect RMGO to champion NRA, but often it seems like the RMGO and GOA are more interested in throwing mud at the NRA than actually defending our Second Amendment rights (much like the Libertarian Party is more interested in throwing mud at the GOP than fighting the DNC).

    At any rate, I still see RMGO and GOA as my "friend" (in the sense that we're on the same side) and I certainly support the work they do fighting the antis, but I'm just unconvinced that joining either is going to help.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    This is NOT the time for the various gun groups to tear each other down. The anti-gun community would like nothing more.

    Thanks a lot Dudley.....NOT!

    I joined RMGO several weeks back as I think every single pro-2A group needs to be supported right now. If they pull this kind of stunt, they'll never see another penny of my money. LISTENING DUDLEY?????

    I'm starting to see this as well, I look at it this way.

    1. RMGO is losing out on membership by slinging the mud at NRA, Evidence? ^^^
    2. I'm an RMGO member more in that it's a more local org, and they have a better presence in the state and at the state level, as frankly the NRA is working their end more at the federal level. (yeah I know about local NRA-ILA chapters)
    3. On the state/local level I donate to RMGO and NRA-ILA to get "double coverage".
    4. On the federal level RMGO doesn't have the stick that the NRA has to swing so that's why I look to their actions on the state/local level.
    5. The non NRA groups are starting to give me the impression that they are jealous of the big fish and are taking pot shots at them because of poorly written articles and jumping to conclusions and it's not helping the cause.
