I go there from time to time and most are against bans on military style guns, restrictions on magazine capacity, waiting periods and such.

The good news is is that it's hard to find anyone over there viourasly defending the NRA.

Here's some more comments in a thread over there about saving the NRA:

"The whole organization is a poisoned well.

bury it.

A new one that actually works and isnt just there to fleece people for money while promoting gun control infringements will rise but not until the nra is buried or wlp is in a body bag."

"Whether the allegations are or not, Wayne's position in the NRA should be voted by the membership, not dictator for life. If you can't get rid of someone for cause, then it's a problem."

"I'm an NRA life member. I refuse to donate one more cent to them. All my 2A go to FPC and SAF now. If another group looks to be making a run at replacing the NRA all my dollars will go there."
