I'm Dissappointed in the NRA

[Gman]

Yeah, I think there is much truth in what was said here, and in what I wrote (of course). But it still irks me that we in the "gun rights" arena can't all come together. We waste valuable time and energy when we fight within, instead of tackling the greatest real threats - those constantly working to ban firearms.

Whether it's through the NRA, the GOA or any combination of these alphabet soup organizations - or even by the actions of a lone individual, we have to stand strong to ensure no further incursion occurs on our Rights.

England is a great example of what happens when rights are removed for the "public good". First guns, now knives with the police given the "right" to stop and search any individual they "feel" poses a potential risk to public safety.

They still have enough folks who don't think their government is doing enough to protect the people. What next? When is enough ENOUGH?

Those in the U.S. who say it can't happen here are putting their heads in the sand. How long has it taken England to get to this point of lost personal liberties? 100 years? 50 years? How about less than 1 generation! Wouldn't it be sad if a child born today in the U.S. could never own a gun, could never own a long sharp kitchen knife, and could expect to be stopped on the street or in their home at any time by the police so they could perform a public safety search on their person - all before they were old enough to graduate from High School?

We have to come to realize that our government is not looking out for the best interests of the individual, only for it's OWN interests. The Rights of the American citizen pose a direct threat to the special interests within our government. If we fail to come together and act now, we may not have the ability to act later. KNOW who you are electing and what they want with YOUR Rights. Get involved and make a difference.

Just my two cents - probably about all they're worth!
