I went to the NRA indoor range today in VA.
This place is impressive. Two buildings connected by upper floors. everything was squeaky clean, and the people were really helpful. This is easily costs multiple millions to continue to run every year. I think the building had five floors, and it had a parking garage, breezeway, and brass drinking fountains.
The things I kept thinking while I was there were:
1. Why is all this money being spent on this stuff instead of fighting for our rights?
2. ONE HOUR of range time cost my wife and me nearly $50. Where is all this money going?
3. Why did the NAGR put up 75% of the funds necessary to defeat the Manchin-Toomey bill, when, obviously, the NRA has cash to spare, and the little groups are always broke? Why is the NRA not using their massive funds to beat the shit out of congressmen, instead of trying to compromise with them in secret meetings?
4. Where was the NRA when we were trying to get "good and substantial reason" eliminated?
I mean, am I wrong to think this?
Someone set me straight and tell me I'm wrong.
