You sir, are part of the reason why "they" have been so successful at incrementally eroding our rights over the years.

Our enemies love it that you don't like the NRA or contribute to fighting their anti-gun BS. Way to go man!

Perhaps he is lobbying openly anti gun groups and occasionally giving them money so they know that he is displeased with their operations.

Probably frequently eats at the nastiest restaurants he can find and gives a larger tip as the service decreases in quality. At some point they will undoubtedly change so that the food/service meets their advertised claims.

I get the impression he has long since tired of the evil of 2 lessers instead of finding no fault in 1 of the 2 as is the norm.

The problem is, if you will only accept an ideologically and morally perfect candidate, you'll never find ANYBODY.

I don't know of anyone that expects a person to be perfect. I do think someone opposed to carrying firearm and supporting bans on firearms and ammunition over several decades of their life while either being armed themself or having tax payer funded security is an anti 2nd Amendment tyrant even with a little (R) after their name and was just as flawed as any (D) that exhibited the same traits.

Hell, part of me STILL thinks Trump is running a Long Con... the worm won't turn until November of next year at soonest, though. Once the election's over, if he's Lame Duck he has no constraints, but if he wins and if the GOP holds Senate plus retakes House he has to hold at least somewhat close to the line until after the Midterms for the sake of "his legacy."

Actually if you want your money to be effective, the contributions need to go to the NRA-ILA because pretty much every dime you give to the NRA is spent on operational costs and membership drives, advertising. Granted a large membership creates a "voting block" that politicians have to respect on some level but a basic membership doesn't really send any money to actually fight the fight.

Also I don't think any gun owner is obligated to like the NRA, let alone support the NRA anymore than they are obligated to vote Republican if they don't feel represented by the GOP. And we will always trail behind because most gun owners are "individualists" who don't feel they owe anything to anyone because they are also inherently opposed to ideas of socialism / communism.

This is also why so many of them prefer to join "no compromise" organizations that most politicians have never even heard of and of vote or at least support third parties groups when it comes to politics. Unlike many on the left who genuinely believe Democrats are the party of "freedom" when tend to be a little more thought out and researched so we are less than satisfied when the Republicans fail to represent us and take it very personally when a second amendment advocacy group falls short.

But that's the nature of things and freedom means "free to decide" even if we don't agree with the decision.

Bumping this one again.
