The problem is that they arent working together,and theres very little distinction between the two and their two very different objectives.
Add to the that the fact that memberships mandated by gun clubs do not extend to the ILA. SO although it may help their educational ends, it doesnt help to preserve their overall rights.
So in effect we are fighting a lopsided battle with the lions share of voluntary funding going to the education side and not the fight against gun control in the courts.
the problem is many people who donate to the NRA, think they are..
It's your money send it where you want. I'm not going to keep trying to convince you of the value of the NRA.
My opinion:
I think both are valuable entities and I contribute to both with full knowledge what each stands for and their individual purpose.
