    One interesting thing about the anti-NRA agenda is you can almost count on the purveyors of it being guilty themselves of whatever they bash the NRA for doing. In particular, the NRA is the only one that is an actual member organization which has elections that matter and a mechanism for pushback from the members. When's the last time you voted for GOA/GOC leadership? You didn't, because they're wholly-owned private companies. In fact, one condition national put on CRPA as part of cleaning themselves up and retaining affiliation was that they have elections and become a membership organization.

    Much of the time your money to certain groups goes to the pockets of people who write press releases and not much else, but I suppose I shouldn't get into that.

    None of that would be intolerable if those groups delivered value-for-money, but it's notable that they do not. I don't mind Wayne LaPierre making an executive's salary--his "corporation" delivers, and I fear when he retires we'll end up spending more than his salary employing several people to replace him. I don't mind CGF not having elections--they deliver value for money.

    Groups that just throw stones at the people doing actual work and raise money by being parasites should go into politics and join the entitlement party.

    What do you need guns for if you are going to send your children, seven hours a day, 180 days a year to government schools? What do you need the guns for at that point?-- R. C. Sproul, Jr. (unconfirmed)

    I know every chance I get I'm going to accuse 7x57 of being a shill for LCAV. Because I can.
