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

[Skully]

The best government is less government.

Be safe.

AMen!



Government doesn't have to spend any money, just at the very least allow teachers and administrators in schools to carry concealed. NRA and several other organizations offered extended training for FREE. I forgot where it was but some twit said in a news article; "It worries me teachers being armed, what if one of the kids found a teachers gun in their desk and shot people?" That is the stupid factor uneducated crap we are arguing against.

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.

WASHINGTON -- The head of the National Rifle Association says the organization has no problem with tighter background checks of gun purchasers.

But association president David Keene also says too much emphasis has been placed on banning certain firearms.
In an interview on "CBS This Morning" Thursday, Keene argues, quote, "The real question that needs to be addressed is not what we do about guns, but what we do to make our schools safer."
The NRA has come under close scrutiny in the wake of Newtown, Conn., shootings that killed 20 children and six adults.
Keene said officials should focus more attention on a "devastatingly broken mental health system in this country," if they genuinely want to end gun violence.
He said the NRA has been "generally supportive" of stronger background checks.

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.

Got to agree.

The head of the National Rifle Association says the organization has no problem with tighter background checks of gun purchasers.

Everyone knows that the Brady Handgun Control Act was to relax the existing laws regarding background checks

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.
