Please defend and tell me how wonderful your abusers are.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/16/dana-loesch-forced-to-move-due-to-repeated-threats-from-gun-control-advocates.htmlNational Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch said Sunday she was preparing to move from her home "due to repeated threats from gun control advocates."
The hughes amendment.Please explain how I am being abused by the NRA. And how you would be/are.
Who is the "you" and "your" in your post?So in exchange for a massive infringement we got back several minor infringements. Sorry, trading your stolen car for your stolen motorcycle isn't "compromise"
Look, we get it. You think everyone but state agents should be limited to semi-autos with 10rd magazines. And you think everyone who does not agree with you is a nutcase. Your opinion has been noted.
:exactly:The NRA will do whatever it is they see will net them the most money.
This is true, as well. I'm not against the NRA, but on the other hand, I don't like the thought of just lining NRA people's pockets, which is exactly what giving them extra money does. And they really piss me off when they do whatever is most profitable for them, instead of doing what their members want. I wish they were a wholesome, grass-roots organization. Like GCO is.The other side wants to divide gun owners. They may be making some progress at that.

I'm not happy about the recent stances taken by the NRA leadership, and I have let them know that. This isn't the first time the NRA has run afoul of the membership. But it would be a big mistake to turn against the NRA, since the NRA is really US. The other side would love to see internal dissension among pro gun groups.
I’m not sure if people really care what celebrates think. The Harvey Weinstein scandlenhas reflected badly on them as well, since he isn’t the only one and it appears many people knew and did nothing. It just reinforces the whole Hollywood = cesspool thing.The other side wants to divide gun owners. They may be making some progress at that.

I agree, I am not a big fan of some of the NRA's tactics, this giving up on the bump stocks idiocy. I also don't like their clumsy efforts to make money off their membership. But for better or worse, they are the Big Dog in pro gun efforts. A bunch of us tearing up our membership cards is not going to change that. We should speak to the NRA leadership, LaPierre and Cox, and tell them why we the membership are not happy with their tactics. I think they are hearing that, and they should. That is my view. However, I'm not going to be critical of those who quit their membership in the NRA. I get it. I've done that at least a couple of times in the past 30 years, myself.This is true, as well. I'm not against the NRA, but on the other hand, I don't like the thought of just lining NRA people's pockets, which is exactly what giving them extra money does. And they really piss me off when they do whatever is most profitable for them, instead of doing what their members want. I wish they were a wholesome, grass-roots organization. Like GCO is.
The anti's, when they can't win a face-on battle, turn to just chipping away at the stone. Guerrilla warfare.
I can tolerate liberals (if I hold my nose), until they try to take away what is mine. Either my money, or my right to defend myself. At that point, I cannot tolerate them anymore.
