Reply #29: I am a life member of the NRA and I loath the likes of Wayne LaPierre [View All]

There is a significant minority of NRA members that, while strongly believing in the right to bear arms, are rather pissed at the rightwing control of what used to be a non-partisan organization. I won't even mention at the crazy militia types that are members of our organization.

Why the NRA? As long as you have gun grabbers like Diane Feinstein you will have gun owners closing ranks against their type.

The NRA should return to its roots of advocating responsible firearms ownership, sensible state registration of guns, regulation of gun shows sales, promoting gun safety programs, and defending RTBA whenever it comes under attack.

The NRA should stop being used as a tool of the most extreme elements of the rightwing. The NRA should also adopt a more balanced approach: the threats to our liberties posed by PATRIOT Act are far greater threat to freedom than the assault weapon ban.

Of course, we will continue to disagree as to the proper role of the federal government when it comes to regulating guns: zilch, nada.
