The guys we have here in Texas are all police state cronies. TSRA (Texas State Rifle Association) actually made a joint statement in Texas with the NRA about taking a look at bump stocks and trigger mods and the like. You would think Texas would be at the forefront of gun rights but nope. We have an impotent state legislature that plays fast and loose with our freedoms and likes to trickle them out a little at a time and expect us to be grateful.
Sorry, but I have lost my patience with anyone who will even mention the word compromise when referring to my rights. We don't do that with the 1st Amendment. So why should I with the 2nd?
I'm sure there are quality people in the organization. But on the whole the NRA is a cronyist corrupt lobby that is only interested in its own power and wealth.
Agreed I don't like it and our state guy don't like that they are doing that either but the fact that they are only interested in their own wealth and power means that our dollars act like votes I'm sure there are many who will stop supporting them over this and when their coffers start shrinking they will change their tune. Really wish GOA would fund a state lobbyist here because if Todd our state lobbyist could work for them full time I bet he would then I too would drop the Nra like a hot potato
I can't tell you how many "conservatives" I talk to that are all members or lifetime members of the NRA. Makes me crazy. Just because they have been around forever and have the name recognition they are relevant.
Thats why its important to get the word out and get the money to GOA or somewhere else where it will actually do some good.
Its late and my blood is all angry now!
