How many are members of one or the other? I've noticed that RMGO hasn't updated their website in a while and CSSA seems to be very, very quiet. Also, anybody ever give out the RMGO "No gun, no money" cards? I walked out of the movie theater at the Westy Promenade the other day because of their sign (because they REALLY CARE about the $40/trip, 1-2x/month) but I was wondering about the next step. |

I belong to both, life member of CSSA. Both seem quiet to me, I think CSSA lost some important volunteers. I wonder if RMGO did too. I know I am dispirited since Colorado is being Californicated, maybe they are too. Luckily it looks like the statehouse Dems are laying low after changing the CCW rules. |
| I'm a RMGO member, and now that you mention it they have been kind of quite lately. I haven't been getting alot from Gun Owners of America either. I know there is probably legislation and such out there that we need to be fighting or at least getting ready to fight against |

The two had something of a fued some time back. It is correct to say that CSSA had a leadership change and have not recovered yet. RMGO is pretty much a one man shop now days, and has suffered from a lack of donations and manpower. CSSA tends to be more of a shooting organization, while RMGO focuses more on the political action side. Both could use your support, as both try to be advocates for all Colorado Shooters. |

I was wondering about that. I'm a member of both, but it seemed like they were both drained after the last legislative session. Ever have one of those days when you wished you were hit by a train, just so that the suckiness of your day would at least make a good story? That's how I felt about the session when the final gavel came down in May, and I just wrote a bunch of letters and faxes. I can't blame anyone who put in as much hard work as they did for taking time off. |
+1 I felt very disheartened last election. All the canidates I gave money to lost, (except Tancredo.) I can understand why the leadership feels the same. |
They're laying low because they know that their positions on guns, if plainly stated, will throw voters back toward the Republicans, and they are playing for the big score right now: White House + control of Senate + control of House. If they lay their plans for gun control out now, those races (and gun control) are threatened. |
