OK, I AM PISSED AT THE NRA

MDFF2008 · Aug 7, 2011

I got this email from the NRA a few minutes ago

Fierce Battle Over Gun Rights

Obama Justice Department Orders Gun Registration: Wayne LaPierre Denounced Action and Unveils NRA Lawsuit ...
Watch here, Watch Now!

That was all the email said. My heart skipped a beat, was Obama really ordering gun registration across America?

No, turns out it's about the multiple sales in order states.

Not cool NRA.

got the email also, didn't have time to look into it but its thier normal "scare everyone so they give more money."

Overstating the case and sensationalizing the subject is SOP for any organization that uses panic to help keep the money rolling in. It's why I only rarely send in any extra donations beyond my membership fee. Come to think of it, I've never sent anything extra to the NRA/ILA. And NRA/ILA is not the only gun rights organization that does this sort of thing, either.

SAF.

The problem with that is, MANY gun ranges REQUIRE NRA membership to join..

Can't say I like em enough to justify getting a membership. If I wanna find out whats-what, I just go here. It's free, Imma cheap bastard, therefore it works for me!

without the NRA where would be ? chill out and donate when you can unless you are a full time lobbyist with as much influence as the NRA.

I am a member of the NRA, and I usually defend them.

This one just ticked me off a bit because it is extremely over sensationalized.

That's because you've been around a while. The scare tactics still work on the newer crowd, but they too will tire of getting all spun up over nothing time and time again.

It's like the kids' story about crying wolf too much......

These scare tactics take away attention from the real issues and make people say, "ho hum" every time something legitimate pops up.

They contacted me a bit ago asking for money and talking abotu the UN treaty .. I told them when they start doing somethign about MD I would give money .. and I was very polite ..

I'm a proud member (life) of the NRA!

Having said that, the other day a friend tells me he got an alarming cold call from someone claiming to be with the NRA. Either it was a lowball scare tactic by the NRA or a group trying to diminish the NRAs rep by pulling such a stunt.

I received my American Rifleman mag today, it's pretty good.

CCRKB (SAF) has been using some of the same tactics lately. They all do it I think. Same crap Jessey Jackson & NAACP play about if it rains & a black person gets wet, you know. Its definitely annoying but its still way too soon to abandon the NRA.

It may be overstating the case, but even I thought this is de facto registration before that email.

How is this different from the GOA posting someone posted here saying the budget deal contains secret gun legislation? When you read further it's a case of the "super" Congress "could" be used to bypass the rest of Congress's say so to past gun legislation.

I look at it this way;

Brady campaign: A few very rich buttholes that are afraid of so many "little people".

NRA: Mlllions of little people who mostly aren't that rich and, most importantly, are ARMED!

Bikebreath · Aug 8, 2011

Just re-upped with the NRA. I never open their emails, any more.

Storm40 · Aug 8, 2011

a buddy of mine keeps riding me about joining the NRA. Thing is, same as Billcw above, I feel like they aren't doing anything for MD. SAF currently does more stuff for us than the NRA and MSI is a local group. Both of them will get my money well before the NRA will.

No question SAF has done more. I think we need both. I see them doing 2 different things. NRA is a powerful lobby, and SAF is a legal pit bull.

Junk mail doesnt bother me.

When i got that email, i already knew what it was about.

Truth is - we aren't doing anything for Maryland. Marylanders keep voting these anti-gun politicians in. Why do we blame the NRA for that ?

How about this - you start doing something in Maryland (it's your state) - get out there and campaign for a guns rights politician this coming election.

Marylanders vote these anti-gun idiots into office and then want the NRA to fix it ?
