[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1169218, member: 4235"] The NRA is a very broad-based organization that attempts to represent the common interests of all gun owners, which is a very broad category of people. Like with any broad-based organization, they tend to try to please as many of them as possible, and they therefore end up with a relatively moderate agenda. They are quite successful in the battles they choose to fight, and it would be difficult to deny that they have accomplished some great things for our right to keep and bear arms. We should support them for the good things that they are doing, while encouraging them to adopt a stronger stance on issues like the assault weapon bans, open carry, state laws nullifying unconstitutional federal regualtion of firearms, and repealing some of our current gun control legislation like the '68 GCA and the '34 NFA. The fact that the NRA doesn't take a stand on these more "extreme" pro-gun issues is why the GOA exists. We should definitely support groups like the GOA, who do not compromise in their defense of our liberty, but we should also continue to support the NRA... they are generally for moving things in the right direction and they are good at making things happen, even if they don't support doing it to the extent that we would like.
