Again, no mention of the GOA or SAF.
This flustered reaction to the NRA being dissolved is a failure by gun rights supporters who put all their eggs in one basket and when the basket is rotting and falling apart they refuse to get a new basket. The reaction is literally, "NO! WE CAN FIX IT! THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS BASKET! I LIKE THIS BASKET JUST FINE! THOSE OTHER BASKETS AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH!"
I was a member of GOA for a couple of years before I cut them off. I noticed that every legislation, court case, and political campaign that the NRA, or SAF, invested in and won, the GOA would claim the credit. Every gun control victory by anti-2A forces, GOA would blame the NRA.
GOA claims "no compromise" positions that make members feel good, but they have no actual political or legislative influence.
GOA is basically a pro-2A e-mail newsletter that primarily exists to draw donations away from the NRA and continually solicit their members for more money. Once they get your name they send more solicitations than the NRA.
GOA doesn't unite gun owners, it tries to divide them. If you think the NRA is not accountable enough because of LaPierre, you are going to find the GOA isn't responsible at all. All the GOA money goes to Pratt. Funny how that doesn't seem to outrage all the anti-NRA/pro-GOA trolls.
