If the NRA haven't been fighting for you anyway, what is the darn point?

The GOA, FPC, and a few others are the only one actually tying to fight for us...But the US SC is not letting them plead their cases.
The NRA is not fighting for us at all the last 100 years...Instead they are helping write anti-gun legislation. The ONLY times they fight are in states that are already draconian and super strict & liberal, like California, NY, and Illinois...They could care less about free states. They're the ones who gave Trump the nod for the bumpstock ban. They helped write the GCA of 1968. And the Hughes Amendment (and lied about fighting to repeal it later, after advising Reagan to go ahead and sign it to quell the Democrats), FOPA, the NFA of 1934, helped write Clinton's 1994 crime bill, etc... They've had a helping hand in just about all of it for the last 100 years.

I'd like to learn more about this. Not intending to start an argument, but are they not fighting at all for us, or are they not fighting the fight you'd like to see? Who was arguing the other side of all of your quoted examples and who/how much money was the other side spending? How much did the NRA spend in comparison? I do not at all disagree with you but I have to scratch my head about all of these "facts" that can't be "ACTUALLY" documented with hard data....and I'm not only talking about the NRA.

Here's a start. The rest just takes a Google search.

When Marrion Hammer refers to people who want to see the unconstitutional NFA abolished, as "the enemy within", then the NRA has a problem. When Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox openly suggested the unconstitutional bumpstock ban to Trump, the NRA has a problem. When they help write every piece of anti-gun legislation for the last 100 years, the NRA has lost its way, and has a VERY serious problem.
As a matter of fact, it is quite documented that the NRA told Reagan to sign the Hughes Amendment, and that they would later fight it in court under "unconstitutional grounds", but, once again, they lied, and didn't. You can look up a lot of this info, just use google. There's not 1 source for it, you'll have to do your own research.

What exactly is tinfoil worthy?
The NRA admits to this, they don't deny it. And I've fought them my self through the years to stop this crap. But hey, you believe what you want too. Keeping your head in the sand has been the problem to begin with. That is why we have lost the rights we have. Gun owners like you ignore the facts and won't put up fight. I hear it all the time from going Owners. "Oh, they can take our guns, it can never happen." Guess what? They are doing it right now now. MD is boasting about it. NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED. NRA support their type of Red Flag Laws. Here's some links. You judge for yourself.

If it were not for the local level support financially through grants and programs there would be ZERO shooting sports left, like any organization they may rub someone wrong over something but given the entirety of what the NRA does on a daily basis from small local towns to the national legislation it's unwise to throw the baby out with the bath water, there is NO ONE who has done more to support gun ownership and shooting sports more than the NRA, PERIOD!
So while I voice a decenting opinion on somethings I refuse to play into the radical BS that's soul purpose is to weeken our voice by divide and conquer our strongest allies!!

Maybe then instead being mad at the folks who are tired of the back stabbing and now, the possible fraud by the NRA, maybe you be mad at the NRA and demand them to fix their problems and get back to defending the 2nd Amendment and stop compromising on our rights. I don't want them destroyed, I want them fixed. But if folks refuse to acknowledge the problem, it will never be fixed. And with friends like this, who in hell needs enemies.

There is a clear issue in this country around this issue, not an easy one to grapple with so what's your solution?

Depends on the NRA. The members need to call them out and tell them they will drop their membership if they do not STOP compromising on the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution period. When the money is gone for their life styles, they will do the right thing. I would think anyway.

No I mean the real issue not the reaction of people working to the solution. What's your solution to the mental health issue and gun ownership WHILE working in the construct of the Constitution!
