Nah, it just seems like the right thing to do. A lot of people can’t make it to their state capitals so they are going to gun ranges, gun shows, and gun shops, so I figured that it would be better if all of us who like guns and gun rights signed up on the 19th as an added oomph to the NRA on one day. If they get 250k in a month, imagine 100k in a day.
Huffpo today had some ridiculous article trying to downplay the surge in NRA membership. Suggested that the main reason for the increase is only because the NRA is offering “HUGE” discounts on memberships since Sandy Hook (and by “HUGE” discounts I think they mean the normal discount offers that I see ALL the time).
Furthermore, why do they care if a person joined because of a discount. They’re still making a conscious decision and paying money out of their pocket. I could think of a whole bunch of causes supported by Huffpo readers that have to rely of taxpayer subsidies cuz nobody would pay a nickel to be a member.
It’s still incredibly outrageous that we have to put up with liars and criminals in our government. If at least most politicians kept their word and oath to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, there would be no problem with this issue.
I’m renewing my GOA membership…all the gun rights groups need to pull together. Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) Alan Gottlieb recently challenged Obama, and other anti-gun officials to “disarm and lead by example.” We need to start demanding, like Obama says, that we “all play by the same rules”. Keep throwing their own stuff at them till the shut up and crawl back in their holes with hired guns around them!!!
