The NRA makes decisions based on the opinions of the membership. This is done through Life Members electing the Board of Directors. You want to see the NRA go on the offensive? Elect a Board that reflects this opinion.
Me? I want to see the NRA go all out. Every legal method of getting our way. Dirt on opposition, trying to get them prosecuted for any crimes and otherwise voted or removed from public office. The time for the high road has passed; we are in the fight for our lives, and we need to start fighting like it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Why don't they call up Hillary and ask how much a "speaking fee" would cost to get machine guns, SBRs, and suppressors legalized?

it's easier to raise money on the defensive than it is on the offensive.
This is why there is almost no grassroots financial support for anti gun groups like Moms demand action |

Quoted: Go on the offensive during good times to do so. Obviously laying low after a mass shooting is good policy. Why are there no billboards/commercials/etc in the general public during more peaceful times? Oleg Volk type ads to generate interest in shooting sports and also reality. I don't intend this to be a shit on the NRA thread, I am a member and have been for decades. This is more of a wish list of things to do for the NRA to become more proactive instead of reactive as we have been slowly losing. I asked that very question after San Bernardino and was promptly pounced on by the NRA cheerleaders. Of course they didn't answer the question, just attacked me for asking. |

In the social media aftermath of the San Bernardino shooting. I made a facebook post with the NRA logo that basically said I am the NRA. The left attacks the NRA because it is a faceless/nameless organization to them. In my opinion the NRA is "us" and we have a story to tell. We are not all basement dwellers. We work, volunteer, pay taxes, coach little league as an example. What prompted me to make the post was the attacks on the NRA and I wanted to express that attacking the NRA is attacking the millions of NRA members as individuals.
My post received a few likes but gain very little traction. I suggest we (AR15) start a trend and make a template with NRA logo and a brief statement of who we are (as individuals) and start a social media blast (or what ever they call it). Hive thoughts? |

NRA is better at going on the offensive via legislation and they do go on the offensive. It's not their fault a majority of the American public prefers to elect Democrats and Democrats who ran as Republicans to get elected. |

just unneeded attention and makes them look like bullies.
The way they act now is lay low and when Political SHTF like recently they spring into action to defend gun owners rights. Once the crisis is over they back off and wait. Its fine by me, you will NEVER defeat the left anti-gun crowd, there will always be some group somewhere and the more aggressive you are the more people will join those anti-gun groups. |

On October 26, 2005, President Bush signed S. 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act." Introduced by Sens.

NRA lifer (Endowment member) here bud. I also worked for 2 decades for a not-for-profit, serving in many different capacities. One of the dirty truths about any organization that depends on funds not sourced from the creation of a service or product, is, unless that organization has in it's charter a plan, an actual poison pill to erase that entity from existence, it will continue to exist, and inevitably grow. The NRA has offered no plan to make itself irrelevant in 5, 10 or 50 years. By that I mean, there should be a sound plan in place to completely turn the tide to the point where the arm of the NRA that does the lobbying no longer has that need to fill. Unless and until that is a part of the plan, we are feeding a perpetual engine. Think about that real hard. Cuz it's not very obvious. |

No, that's not an improvement on "rights", it's an improvement on privileges. Getting a permission slip to practice something negates any sense of that activity being a right. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I still don't buy the the one step at a time shtick. This isn't something that should be legislated. The right exists naturally and government is constitutionally bound not to infringe. That's where the debate needs to be centered IMO. |
