You think so? If it were, one would think it would be mentioned in the decision of the court in some location other than a footnote referring to the name of another case.It was the NRA's case.

This ^Comm2a and GOAL is where money needs to be sent
You don't actually believe that the New York Rifle and Pistol Club had the money, Lawyers and the power to carry that case correct?You think so?

Where in ANY of what I wrote do you imagine I said sit on one’s hands?Well, if these organizations could get more change from those that sit on their hands they would less of our change........
"You don't actually believe Mom and Dad could have put all that stuff under the tree, do you? It had to be Santa."You don't actually believe that the New York Rifle and Pistol Club had the money, Lawyers and the power to carry that case correct?
They clearly didn't "join" the suit as they're not mentioned anywhere in the decision, even as amici.The NRA can't bring that case as they weren't the aggrieved party. But they "joined" the suit and provided the hammers that were used.
I get more mailers from SAF, GOA, and CCRKBA than NRA.I belong to 4 gun clubs 2 in MA. and 2 in NH I think they all require an NRA membership, that and the fact I have mt instructor credentials and mid and long range classifications thru them. The thing that annoys me the most is they spend half of my membership money on postage sending me stuff to ask for more money that goes in the trash.
They do.Pretty sure the NRA funds a lot of what GOAL does behind the scenes here in MA. You say "GOAL" people here say "huh". You say "NRA" and Karens here lose their mind.
Limburger.And yes.....I did just put a nice piece of muenster cheese on the mouse trap..............
Lobbying Congress accomplishes nothing; as it regularly pointed out, NRA's entire lobbying budget isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to other industries, including public employee labor unions.The NRA spends more than 5 times the amount GOA spends lobbying Congress.
I'm a lifetime American and hate the current leadership in the White House but I still support my country and always will. I am an NRA member as well as a Goal member and support the cause not so much the leadership.I'm a lifetime NRA member and a Goal member.
But whenever I have a few bucks to throw at the cause, it goes to Comm2a.
Do I hate the current leadership at the NRA? Yeah. Everyone does. But they still get the most traction and enrage the most liberals, on a national level.
It's unfortunate that some can't get the real facts about Heller straight and have no real understanding of the ins and outs of that case.Lobbying Congress accomplishes nothing; as it regularly pointed out, NRA's entire lobbying budget isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to other industries, including public employee labor unions.
What victories have you seen come out of Congress? That they didn't renew the 1994 AWB?
The lobbying money is best spent in state houses. That money is best spent getting members to spend their own time (not money) pressuring state reps and state senators. (I had a NH legislative account until 12/7/2022, and I heard about every gun bill, from members of all the different NH 2A rights groups.)
The best money of all is spent carefully picking the right plaintiffs for the right lawsuits, because the courts have done far more good than the legislatures have.
NRA fought Heller and tried to usurp and derail it, but none of their plaintiffs survived to the end; it was an Alan Gura SAF case. Same for McDonald, where NRA jumped on the caboose and pretended they were driving the train.
Without those cases, Bruen never would have seen the light of day.
Do I want the NRA to fail? No, absolutely not. They're important as the big target for the anti-gunner groups, while the real activists get stuff done.
Yes, it's a shame that NRA apologists claim victory for a case they tried to sabotage.It's unfortunate that some can't get the real facts about Heller straight and have no real understanding of the ins and outs of that case.
Read the ins and out of that case from start to finish and we'll talk.Yes, it's a shame that NRA apologists claim victory for a case they tried to sabotage.
Meanwhile, the NRA budget is made up of rainbow unicorn farts.

The NRA regional rep actively derailed the first constitutional carry bill in NH, and tried to turn it into a bill requiring training and a background check before issuing a license.However, the NRA has been instrumental in advancing the notion of "shall issue" v "may issue", and can certainly claim some amount of credit for the 25 states with constitutional carry.
Look, I understand that you're totally sold on the NRA, but the gun rights media has done more reporting on LaPierre's corruption than the MSM has.Let's remember that the NRA is bankrupt and LaPierre is a crook is coming only from Leftist media.

This is what happens when you have a Board of "Directors" who aren't, really. They're either complicit insiders, or do-nothing celebrities who just go along with leadership so they can keep getting re-elected for their own vanity.Exactly
