Reply #25: The NRA does not pick them.

[gorfle]

If you want to donate or pay dues, please consider all of your constitutional rights and send your dollars to the ones that support all of them.

I do wish to support all of them. But the most effective group at supporting the second amendment is the NRA. So for this particular Constitutional right, I will continue to send my money and support to the organization most effective at advocating for it.

Don't let some crazy NRA pick your people and use your dues.

The NRA does not pick candidates' stances on the second amendment - the candidates do that themselves. The NRA simply works for candidates who have chosen to support the second amendment, and opposes those who have chosen not to.

They care nothing about your other freedoms.

This is because the NRA is a single-issue organization!

If the only issue you vote on is guns, what the hell are you doing here?

Guns are not the only issue I vote on. But I hold with the belief of our founders that the right to keep and bear arms is necessary to the security of a free state, by enabling the people to act as the final bulwark against tyranny. Thus I am here in the Guns forum to espouse and defend that view.
