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

[RMGOdirector]

"He said the NRA has been "generally supportive" of stronger background checks.""

Brady IS the NICS check. Keene is saying he supports tighter restrictions on who can own/buy guns, via Brady.

And LaPierre announced the NRA is supporting a mental health database.

I remember 1992, when the Brady bill was THE litmus test (even for the NRA) on whether a candidate for federal office is pro-gun or anti-gun.

And now, the discussion is about how to expand Brady, not repeal it.

Dude, if you can rationalize that, YOU support new gun controls.

If it offends you that we point it out when politicians or groups/orgs support gun control, then yes, you shouldn't be an RMGO member. That's what we do.

this concerns me alot. sure, everyone wants to ensure that somebody who is criminally insane doesnt have access to a firearm. but, that is a pipe dream. what it would really do, is allow abuses by an allready anti gun AMA to proliferate. It would be a tremendous resource for screwing almost anyone and everyone out of firearms ownership. Fuck that.

Maybe I'm missing something here, Dudley, but can you point out where Keene is endorsing Brady in the above article, please? As is typical of almost everything you say about the NRA you're being a bit intellectually dishonest.

I've supported RMGO for the past several years despite your constant attacks on the NRA. The NRA is not the perfect organization. Granted. But none is. Not even RMGO. I'm sick and tired of your constant bashing of the NRA. It's offensive to me as a Benefactor Life Member.

I was about to contribute $35 to the RMGO for 2013. I'll pass now. When you get 4 million members get back to me. When you stop being part of the problem by constantly attacking pro-gun people and organizations and start trying to work with other organizations instead of constantly working to fracture the work they're doing, get back to me. Maybe then I'll consider contributing to RMGO. Until then, I'm done supporting RMGO, I'm done recommending others support RMGO and I'm done referring other gun owners to RMGO's website. I'm not going to actively work against your organization but I'm sure as hell not going to work for it.

Thanks for stating what many of us feel. RMGO's constant attacks are becoming boring and are not helping.

Dudley says we should not become members.....that's one thing we can all agree on.

If you watched the video Keene explained in pretty simple terms what he meant by that. I'll take your advice re: disassociating myself from RMGO. You've made the decision easy. My $35 just went to NRA/ILA.

Same here. Y'just shot yerself in the foot there Dudley. See ya. Y'wanna be divisive, that's your right. But with the 2A under attack, now is not the time nor the place. Every single organization that supports gun rights needs to come together and you've pretty much proven you don't have a clue in that regard.

Perhaps make the program similar to what armed commercial pilots participate in? Those guys must get fairly extensive and regular training. Regular trigger time, shoot/no shoot scenarios, force on force, etc.

not a bad idea, but pilots go to one location for the training and can do follow up training at several locations. they also fly for free. massive massive massive cost associated with that for teachers. only thing I would say for the teachers is local training with local LEO or NRA certified instructor types with an approved course and maybe annual or bi-annual recurrent.
