[QUOTE="skyydiver, post: 516977, member: 68"] Great post Larry, it was nice to meet everyone. I will add something about my reasons for attending. I have known about the ORA for a number of years, but have never joined because I didn't think they did much but maybe have matches every now and then and maybe chase after hunter's rights some. By attending the meeting, I learned that these guys are serious about our 2A rights. I have had issues with the NRA (of which ORA is an affiliate) for a long time, because I perceived them as soft and compromising on the 2A. Yesterday the ORA board members convinced me that when / if they ever DO give up ground with certain legislation, they are being mindful of the overall 2A picture and their ability to further it in the future. For instance, there was much talk about a certain piece of legislation that on the face really only applies to hunters. At first I thought the time could be better spent talking about car carry, etc... As the discussion went on, I realized that the main interest of the ORA in this hunting law was the fear that it might make hunting too expensive for many, thus taking them out of the overall 2A fight when their specific interest was already gone. They have a very good understanding of the big picture, having studied exactly how the Brits and Aussies lost their guns, and all the steps leading up to it (i.e. hunting being too expensive for all but the elite). I joined the ORA yesterday, and would suggest that if all of the OSAers who are serious about the 2A would join and get active in ORA, 2 things will happen. 1. ORA's clout on Lincoln will grow significantly 2. OSA members will be able to help guide the direction and focus of ORA Right on. [/QUOTE]
