I support the repeal of the NFA of 1934, GCA of 1968 and the 1986 one. Why would I align with a group who is going in the opposite direction?

If you don't have guns and want some, buy some of them too.

That's fine, I support that also but what does one do to achieve that. What method do you have in place to achieve that goal. What group or org. can one join to get that done. Wishing and supporting something will not get it done, it takes a voice and money.

This is why trapping organizations are different. Trapping needs a voice and money or it will go away legislatively. The 2nd amendment is a bedrock right, given by God, expressly written to not be monkeyed with (infringed). Sooner or later- by compromise or by legislation or court decree, those who wish to negate what it means will over extend themselves and the situation will self correct back to what was originally written in the amendment.

Martys comment is indicative of a lot, 'I don't mind them being run through the ring and sent to the chopping block, as long as I keep mine.' Sooner or later we'll all be in the position of the bump stock enthusiasts. From past experiences, when the time comes, i wouldn't hold out much hope for support.


How are you working to?
Show us the better way.

I am just worried about all the candidates that will not accept a payoff from the NRA this upcoming election.

I just cancelled my Scheels Visa card and expressed my concern that the bank that they were using was one of the very first to boycott the NRA. hopefully since she said they have been getting other people calling in it'll have an affect.

rats: 10/0
coon 50/87
mink 10/0
beaver 10/6
possum 0/1

If you want to change things for the better the plan seems to be do nothing and throw shade wherever you can! I got it now so doing nothing changes everything in the end.

DA what was I thinking. crazy

Dumping a bunch of money into the NRA isn't going to help. The drive by media are portraying NRA members as demons. The children that are attending school now will be voting in a few years and with all the school shooting I am sure most of them will be anti-gun. This seems to be the mass shooting that has turned the tides against law abiding gun owners. Our local Republican representative was on the news this morning saying he was against arming teachers.

Your right Tealbrook.
It's the liberal parents who raised these kids that need to be educated.

Teachers should lock their classroom doors when their class is in session.
I also like the possibility of using National Guard soldiers as armed guards. The original intent of the Guard was to protect the homeland, not to be sent overseas to fight in wars. You would get a lot more men and women joining if they knew they would be staying protecting the homefront.

The same media that portrays us as demons also motivates us as gunowners to step up (well most of us) but like said the future looks grim with the lack of education and motivation from the products of non-parenting.

God help this Country when the enemies comes to do us harm and the next generations are totally clueless and unwilling except for a few to stand up to it.

The problem is that this last shooter was trained by a grant from the NRA. The media is using this as ammo. I believe a lot of Republican candidates will not accept payoffs from the NRA so they will have less pressure to vote pro gun.

The "media" hasn't mentioned it on national news.
It seems to be a non-issue except for the 2 times i've read you talking about it. Stirring the pot already?

You are better off sending you contribution directly to the Candidate of your choice.

The grant was for JROTC program. If you are going down that road, you have to throw the JROTC program under the bus as well. Probably a bad idea, which is why the we haven't heard about this since the shooting occurred.

That's exactly what he's doing. Maybe he's looking for his third vacation in a couple of months. Maybe third time will be the charm.
