61. Threat of the NRA?

Fri Jul 20, 2012, 11:22 AM

Jul 2012

you really think that all gun owners belong to the NRA?
The NRA has a membership of appox. 4 million while there are appox. 80 million gun owners in the country with about 300 million guns in circulation. Also, gun control org. like VPC, Brady, are begging for members and funds, why is that? Could be because support for gun bans are at an all time low in the country.
I don't belong to the NRA, haven't since the early 90"s
I tend to side with the SAF.
I do have a good life, I'm retired comfortably, I enjoy taking my firearms out to the range or desert with my wife and be both shoot them.
Matter of fact, I'm going into LV today and picking up a new rifle I ordered last week and I plan to enjoy it.
Still haven't expressed condolences for the victims yet. I think we can all see where your priorities lie.
Thanks for playing.
