[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 1624029, member: 94052"] I have to agree with that. The anti-gun side is trying to do its best to divide us into firearm niches. Then they can go after each niche with vastly reduced resistance. They will come for the bolt and shotguns last, but they WILL come for them. Divide and conquer. I have to ask that if the NRA was not effective then why is the anti-gun side going after them so hard? In war you target your enemy's center of gravity and its individual subsystems. If you think about it, currently and in the past, the NRA was the legislative center of gravity for our efforts to preserve our right to keep and bear arms. We as individuals do not have lobbyists, the NRA does. If our adversary can reduce the NRA then it will be their lobbyists the politicians will be listening to and not ours. The best way to look at the NRA is the way the individual Soldier looks at his M4. Is it the best battle rifle our there? No, but it is what he has. The same holds true for the NRA, it is what we have. So like the Soldier in the analogy we have to maintain it and keep it in working order. We maintain it (NRA) by holding it accountable, funding it to the degree that we are each personally able, and by encouraging others to join it. Yes, GOA has a much better ideology and we need to also join its ranks and support them just as we would the NRA or any other pro Second Amendment organization. After all it is better to have a battery of 155s firing on the enemy than just a single tube. The original title to this thread was "The NRA is in serious trouble". I agree with that assessment. It is my fear that they may have financially culminated after the 2016 election. I did not hear anything from them during the last midterm elections when there seemed to be more anti firearm candidates running than in the past. They may have used up all their financial capacity to support the election of DJT. [/QUOTE]
