And also, alot seem to be missing a central point. That "we the people" are actually the NRA also. 10,000 new(?) a day since January is a statment in my book. And while it may not be millions total it is a statement that we will not go willingly. If we support a org. that supports us, alot can happen with those kind of numbers.
Join the NRA and support them, because they support our 2nd amendment rights.

Originally posted by Shane View PostI'm gonna join Gun Owners of America and some others that stand up for We The People too. NRA supported Harry Reid and others that have been anything but 2nd Amendment advocates lately. I cancelled my NRA membership the last election cycle when they supported Reid. I renewed a few months ago, just because it was such an important time. But if they support Reid or any of the other turncoats this time around, I'm out for good.
I will also look into the GOA. Thanks.

Originally posted by Bill in San Jose View PostWhen and where did the NRA openly support Harry Reid? That's news to me, please educate me.
It was a HUGE issue with NRA members. I wasn't the only one that left then. They actually ended up NOT officially endorsing Reid that go 'round. BUT, they had a lot of photo ops with him and did an article in their magazines about how big of a 2A supporter Reid was. They also refused to endorse or support his Republican opponent, Sharron Angle. She is a bigger 2A advocate than Reid ever was.
If they had helped Angle, then Reid probably wouldn't be the Majority Leader in the Senate today.Last edited by Shane; 04-24-2013, 08:24 AM.

They probably thought that the Dems would still control the Senate even if Reid lost, and they gambled that having Reid as the Majority Leader would be better for the 2A than having Schumer or somebody like that. As it turns out, it didn't matter. Reid is a liberal, not a 2A supporter. He doesn't care about the 2A. He just cares about government power and control.

As far as Reid goes, he is a politician and will move in what ever direction he feels is advantagous to his political career. I don't think in a million years that the NRA supported him with the knowledge that he does not care about the 2A. Politicians lie! Then they lie some more and can't remember the original lies they told. Reid himself probably doesn't know wether or not he supports the 2A or not.
