Well,
The NRA of my father was an organization of hunters, target shooters, and sportsman. Gun rights, gun advocacy, legislative action but it changed.
It is still all the things I mentioned, but has since become an out of touch, money machine. Wayne LaPierre, has made sense up to about the Florida shootings.
The NRA has got to face the winds of change. If we gun owners are going to survive, we need an organization that will deal with change. That has a leadership that work with others to increase safety, secure gun rights, and work with legislators.
As gunowners here in California we have had change shoved up our collective asses for 25+ years. But at the National level things are going to require a philosophical change, the hardline is not going to work. Yes folks, the NRA will possibly eat **** to maintain the status quo.
The need for universal background checks, on all sales, mandatory storage requirements and further restrictions on the mentally ill. If a person makes a threat to a school his/her rights have to be temporarily suspended, weapons taken, and a weapons possession prohibition put in place.
In our country with social media, threats are made to easily and penalties too light. The Right to Free Speech does not cover threats. People need to understand if you make a threat their will be serious consequences.
The NRA needs to change its approach, and become more mainstream. I would like things to be as they were before, no waiting periods on long guns, no handgun roster. But the world has changed, and is changing. And the NRA needs to adjust to a changing world, or be General Custer at his last stand. Flame on, A2
