Question on the NRA - President seems to be a bit extreme

i figured with the trolling question, you were.

For many belonging to the NRA is not an option. If you belong to a club or range then you have to belong to the NRA.

Sorry if it came across as a trolling question. I understand how that goes. I have been a long term member of the offroad community and a moderator for 10 years on one of the forums. We battle many land use issues related to the tree huggers wanting no one to be able to do anything fun

I am a noobie in this area. I have had a 9mm for 5 years and haven't taken it to the range much. I have always wanted an AR-15, but just couldn't justify it. When the tragedy happened and the politicians wanted to take away my right to buy an AR-15, I went out and bought one. I have been learning as much about this Sport/Hobby as I can. When I get into something, I'm all in and this issue with the "campaign" not with the policies bothered me.

I m a Gun owner and proud to be one. I am about to sign my wife and daughter up to a family Safety class with the 9mm and AR-15 so they are comfortable handling it and so I can learn more about them. I also am thinking of getting a CCW permit, but need to do more research. I don't plan on carrying, but want to be able if I choose to.

I do plan on joining. I know their membership has been growing at a fast pace recently.

"You don’t have to agree with everything the NRA does,but you do need to be a member to be sure Washington knows we’re very serious about preserving our freedoms"

I found this on another site and it made me decide to join today. I signed up and am now a member.

It doesnt change my opinion that the NRA could be implementing a more effective campaign to gain support and that usually starts at the top

Edit: BTW I went through the link on this site so they would get credit

I'm an NRA Life Member, but you certainly won't get any argument from me on this point!

becoming a member is one thing. Contributing to the NRA-ILA is another. The ILA branch is the one who files and or co/supports law suits etc. The NRA is the lobbying branch. Both need our support.

Thanks for the input. I contribute a lot to the Blue Ribbon Coalition among others to keep our offroad trails open and allow access to places that are not easy to get to. Enjoying some of these places and respecting the land are very important to me. I'll look into this

Pass this around!

I would much rather have a teacher protect my children with a gun than their body...

Back to the original question.
Bullshit on the POTUS's kids needing additional security.
Their lives are no more special than any other childs lives.
They just have the privilege of having hired security at their disposal 24/7.
Our kids have to rely on us and the meager offerings of the public school systems.
