Funny how that works huh?

There are a few "Baghdad Bob" types here that have a schlong so far down their throat they result to that when ever their sacred cow is even questioned.

Agreed.

lol

You forgot fOX News also.

So why don't they use their funds to fight it out in courts then? Or can Obama block those as well?

How much "free" coverage would they get if they did? along with being able to speak in front of the whole U S of A.

we have been doing nothing but winning for about 10-15 years now

A perfect example of this was when they sponsored the fall NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway.  Huge NRA banners all over the track and in the infield grass. They mentioned the sponsor one time and did everything possible to frame camera shots so NONE of the NRA logos were seen on screen.  The media attention after the race may have been more effective than the money spent on the actual race, but was it worth it.

The NRA needs to bring back the I'm the NRA ad campaign. We need to see more Dana Loesch and Colion Noir and less, bombastic Ted Nugent. Rational, soft-spoken Ted Nugent can be more effective than out of control, over the top Uncle Ted. IMHO.

Right after a mass shooting the NRA needs to get out the message that the hooting was the work of either a mentally deranged person or a terrorist with an agenda.



Allowing the MSM to make the issues about the tools used instead of the person committing the crime has been a costly mistake in the past.



Hopefully, the powers that be in the NRA have discovered that we can't allow the MSM and the liberals to dictate the terms of the discussion.



 

Being an expert in market geared towards the eradication of polio (for example) does not mean my skills transfer over to 2A, what it does mean is I have a 1st hand view of the mindset required to change the anti 2A tide in this country. Shoot for the stars, hopefully you will hit the moon, and definitely clear the mountains.





The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, but in the past 40 years our collective gun rights have been slowly eroded. Yes, most states have better carry laws than compared to 20 years ago, but overall our abilities to acquire, purchase and possess arms have been significantly curtailed.





How does the NRA turn the  tide?


Focus on making more Americans understand our 2A rights. Especially WOMEN and children.


Have a better way of reaching out to minorities, and immigrants. Where do most immigrants come from? Countries where there are little or no gun ownership.





A better educated (as in 2A knowledge) body of voters - R or D makes it harder for idiotic politicians to sway people with hyperbole. If 25% of what the NRA spends on lobbying was spend on directly educating new citizens, or new green card holders on the 1st 10 amendments, we would have successfully inoculated enough people from being swayed by anti-gun rhetoric.





In the past 25 years we have allowed the 2nd Amendment to become a Republican vs Democrat argument  - a very dangerous place for us to be. Why can't someone have "democratic party" principles and still understand the importance of the 2nd Amendment? I know, you're going to tell me to ask them. That is a part of the problem. We know better, we understand exactly what is at risk. WE have to be sentries of freedom, and be able to recognize when others are using subversive means to erode those freedoms.
