    The NRA is pretty much like the Republican Party. They think they have a lock on our loyalty and support then just go on their merry way doing whatever the hell they want while feeding us BS thinking we'll take it without question. They seem to have missed the message of Trump's election.

    As for me, it's SAF for the foreseeable future.

    They are largely correct in their thinking, unfortunately. All too many people who should absolutely know better continue to vote for candidates who are willing to support infringements and restrictions on our freedoms because, well, at least he isn't (insert boogeyman Democrat candidate here). Perhaps if we collectively stopped supporting these turd candidates, we might, maybe, get non-turd candidates. Even if that isn't true, continuing to vote for the turds will unquestionably begat yet-more turds.

    The NRA plays the politics of fear at least as well as the major political parties. They are thoroughly loathsome.

    If you stop supporting "turd candidates" whoever gets on the ballot will ignore your concerns, even more than they do already. That's how MD got to where it is today.

    I'm still hoping for emil/postal addresses for NRA Board of Directors, individually or as a group.
    Anyone?

    Ha, I think they got the message LOUD AND CLEAR.

    In the short term, I have no doubt that would be the case. Looking past one or two elections, the "conservative" party would have a choice: run candidates that are easily distinguished from the socialists on the "other side," or continue to remain irrelevant.

    And were it all to come crashing down in those few election cycles, the Republic would have been further gone than most of us are willing to admit at the moment, and it's unlikely any manner of use of the ballot box would have helped anyway.

    Regardless, it beats the century plus long march of ever more grabby candidates. Judging from your posts, you've lived long enough to see that what passes for a conservative these days, especially in bluer areas like MD, would have been mocked as a closeted Communist two generations ago. Today's liberals were merely the pipe dreams of Berkeley feminists. Yet, they walk among us in need of safe spaces, multi gender bathrooms, and comfort animals.

    I'm disgusted. I'm moving to the moon.

    You got room in the rocket?

    You're right - I've been around long enough to watch the MD Dems gerrymander away any possibility of another Republican congresswoman like Connie Morella winning a seat in MoCo, long enough to see the vote fraud that screwed Ellen Sauerbrey out of the governorship, long enough to watch Takoma Park turn from a reasonably pleasant place to live side-by-side with a full range of people with a full range of political opinions into a mini-SJW amusement park.

    We now "celebrate diversity" but only so long as you're acceptably diverse. Almost all the people that made this town great are either dead, or long gone. There's a few old die-hards around, but they keep their opinions to themselves. No one would dare put up a Trump yard sign, and fear is the driving force in that decision.

    I have to give credit where it is due: MD Democratic Party leaders have gotten tyranny down to a science, and they got away with it to the point that it's probably irreversible.

    Here is his second attempt at an "apology". I want to know what the guy has personally ever done for the Second Amendment. Can someone name one thing of note he has done. If he was really working hard for your Second Amendment rights I would not be as critical as I have been. I just can't stand someone being hypocrite. Notice how he qualifies how he appecaites every "good" member. Who gets to decide who is a "good" member? I think ever NRA member should be treated with respect.

    Wow, he sure does like to keep things fastened down pretty tight on his page. I guess it's a good way to keep the travel to a minimum.

    This guy sounds like a first class douche canoe.


    EDIT: I went to this page on the book of faces and he is getting ROASTED.

    Today's Gop is where the dem's of the clinton years of the mid 1990's were. And the dem's of today are well all but admitted out right Marxists.

    Conservatives don't really exist in Gov't anymore but we need to start running and voting them in at the most local level cause its a trickle up thing.

    Thats why i keep harping on insisting that the mdgop give us conservatives to vote for, but for some reason people think that is unreasonable.

    I haven't said it for a couple of months :

    Repeatedly supporting candidates for being a little less worse than a really horrible opponent , only acceletates the race to the bottom.

    ********************


    Also not said recently :

    The Buckley Theorem is often useful , but its not written on stone , and it has inherent parameters .

    ^^^^ THIS!

    Why do we need representation from people who don't really represent us? why do we need to pay salaries (very high salaries) to people who are not worth what we pay.
    why dont we simply tell them that they don't represent us and that we are representing ourself.
    why don't we simply say to the politicans, I don't care about your unconstitutional law.
    we will not comply with x,y and z
    If the nra did that, I'd back them. They don't.

    The side with the most organized guns almost always gets to make the rules.
    Bundy ranch was one of the few times (no bloodshed either, so thumbs up for that. No bloodshed is the idea).
    It really comes to numbers. Only an idiot would fire the first shot in a fight they know they would not win.
    The side with the most organized guns through history has always made the rules.


    We the people are the side that should be making the rules as the politicians are not representing us, unless you mean that taking guns first and then giving due process is the right thing to do.

    how about this. Beat someone and then determine if they should get a beating. See how backward that is?

    The people that get elected by the sheep to protect/represent them, time and time and time again seem not to do the job hired to do.

    and the solution the sheep have is to vote for another wolf that says they are different.

    What - specifically - are you proposing? You invoke the Bundy mess as if that even vaguely resembles a confrontation over the lawmaking process. Are you really proposing something like physically taking over congress, and saying that then you’d be “making the rules,” and then of course everyone else in the country would follow the new rules that were voted on literally at the muzzle of a gun? What are you mentally picturing when you refer to lots of organized guns and rule making?

    And I thought Ollie was a dick. Another self inflated Col come god wannabe. 148 years of a great organization is being destroyed before our eyes.
    I'm a Life Endowment member and I haven't given the NRA any money in years, not even in roundup at online vendors.
    Recently I sent a letter to the Board stating they won't get a dime from me until Wayne LaThief is removed. But, no response. They don't care. They're a bunch of milkers and think we have no power. Sort of like the sales clerk who doesn't give a hoot when you say you'll never shop "here" again, they figure there's a million more who will.
