[QUOTE="haglered, post: 1187031, member: 12419"] I first heard about this issue when listening to Gun Talk for June 20 2010. I was about to join the NRA probably with a lifetime membership. :withstupi I did some research on the story and what I found out made me very dissapointed in the NRA and any gun owner that still supports them. :( They were oppssing the Disclose act after the Republicans made them some promises but broke them about a decade ago in the McCain Feingold act. They seem to be deathly afraid of losing their political power. :lookaroun When the progresives agreed to give them the carve out they agreed to stop opposing the bill. On one hand the NRA says they still oppose the bill but the offical story in the progressive media says they agreed to stop opposing it. :giveup: When the NRA emailed me back they did not deny that. :oops3: The problem is that they claim to fighting for the right of all law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Yet their actions indicate they only care about their own political power. I find this act completely unacceptable for such an organization. :angry3: I emailed Tom Gresham. He emailed me back saying we need the NRA. :comfort: I emailed him back saying We don't need the NRA :buttkick: The truth is that the NRA needs us. Without gun owners they have no power. They seem to forget this. :screwy: I for one want nothing to do with the NRA. I will not join the NRA because of this deal with the progressives. :talk2hand: :rant: [/QUOTE]
