I’ve changed my mind on the NRA

Open Carry

It was my position earlier that if the NRA would oppose the bump stock ban I will reinstate my membership. It is my position now that if the NRA drops their endorsement for Trump, downgrades his rating, and supports a libertarian I will rejoin.

Wish the NRA would stand for the gun owner again.

I’m sick of supporting gun control on both sides. Maybe endorse a constitutionalist or something

At this point, I’d be worried the NRA would turn over all the names and addresses of its members to the gun grabbers.

As long as the Libertarians insist on spending their efforts and resources just getting on the ballot for a presidential candidate, they are wasting that effort.
Until they decide to focus on local candidates and issues, like city councils and state legislatures they will have little to no real effect.
With about the same results as they have accomplished so far - just about zero.

Too many Leftist Libertarians for the NRA to ever wade into that pool

More like not enough support and money from that party to support the big dogs at the nra’s lavish lifestyle.

Never have that either :joy:. There is a reason Libertarians numbers have never made any serious advancement in 40 years. They are all over the spectrum, Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Conservative, Moderate, Nationalist, Isolationist, Heavy Drugs, Anti Business, Hardcore Capitalists, but in general no cohesive core, just anti war Libertines with little direction. That’s what pushed many like me away from the Libertarian party.

I dont keep up with the NRA , they are worthless, imo. They did make it so the AWB was lifted but they have been toxic to the gun community ever since.

Before the AWB came along, they responded to the 1986 full-auto ban with ‘yeah, whatever, take the compromise on the legislation and we will address the ban in court’. Then they made one attempt in court, shrugged, said they tried, and that it was just machineguns, anyway (ignoring the gun owners that claimed a semi-auto ban would be the next step).

I dont disagree with any of that. All I was pointing out is that’s the last decent thing they have done really. They are a useless leech that build a false sense of security in gun owners.

I see it different, I see it as they lobbied a compromise and thereby gave their blessing, and that of their members for the ban, green lighting it into existence.

Could be I see it wrong

No, you make a good point but had they not compromised we would have lost and would be like Aussieland right now. Which is pretty fu***d but it is what it is. It never shouldve got to that point ,imo. People are more pro-gun now then in the 90s though, just look at gun sales

That can be predicted but not known for certain, what is known is they did compromise and it was implemented, since then it seems they’ve lost credibility from within to the point there is no point

“as I see it”
