...and it's between GRNC and NRA - GRNC hands down. If its between GOA and NRA - GOA hands down. I'm not saying NRA is bad, it just sometimes isn't good.
For example, last year they sold-out First Amendment rights after they were carved-out an exception to the Disclose Act. This demonstrates politics are more important than principle and the Constitution to them.
They also promoted Heath Shuler and Hugh Holliman over clearly pro-gun candidates.
They also floated support for Harry Reid of all people - they withdrew at the bitter end due to a deluge of protest.
They arrogantly claim to be playing "complicated political games" that ordinary gun owners aren't capable of understanding. What we don't understand is what is so complicated about "shall not be infringed" and how can you trade political favors (i.e. not opposing Disclose/Harry Reid, trying to torpedo Heller...) for concessions on what "shall not be infringed"?
In addition, all the NRA senior management are pulling 6 or 7 figure salaries. Maybe this is why they were afraid of Heller? If the Second is affirmed to actually mean what it says, why would we need over-paid fat-cats to defend it for us? Answer: we wouldn't, but then maybe they could go back to their role in building ranges, publishing loading information, hosting matches so that every American can conveniently attend...
