Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doc Holiday" data-source="post: 1809452">The NRA called me one day and told me that Hillary Clinton and the United Nations were working to take my guns away.That was a rather insulting ruse to try to scare me into joining.As I like to avoid politics most of the time, here's my take. Sure people like me who don't want to get spammed and insulted will avoid joining organizations like the NRA, however, if a serious threat comes our way, the other 70 million people will come into picture quite clearly-at polls or with activism. Just like the U.S. is currently standing with a 2-million man volunteer armed forces roster, you can bet that number would multiple quickly if we were ever truly threatened again, like we were when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Statics state that gun control is so unpopular right now, most politicians won't go near it with a ten foot pole. Look at the Virginia Tech massacre, for example. Nothing. Not a peep from anyone outside the badly weakened anti-gun lobbyists. I don't like joining organizations anyway. After awhile, and the bigger they become, the more they alienate members. This is true with governments, political parties, churches... pretty much anything. I like to throw support behind something but remain neutral in membership. This policy has served me well in life.</blockquote>
