[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 1967135, member: 3553"] I don't like the NRA's constant demands for money either. In that they are just like most non-profits that live off donations and memberships. I don't like their alarmist attitude either. I don't like their stance on open carry. However, I firmly believe that politicians in DC, especially republicans and RINOs are terrified of the NRA's ability to make them lose elections. THis IMHO is the primary reason why the Assault weapon ban was allowed to expire in 2004, and why no anti-gun legislation has a hope of passing as of now....because the RINOs are in fear of the NRA. 2AF and GOA are idealogically more pure and less mercenary than the NRA, but these 2 organizations don't have much clout in DC. And likely won't for many years to come. Also, the NRA has a well established ground game in the states to keep local RINOs in check. hence my political contributions will go the NRA. if Romney does get elected he will need to be kept in check. :) [/QUOTE]
