Guys, we're down to the mat on this one and you cannot afford to sit back and hope it all works out. As meat hunter and dogcatcher so aptly stated, there is strength in numbers.
You have seen the effect of "divide and conquer", which the current administration is so adept at......we cannot afford to be divided on this issue!
"There are 100 million gun owners in the US. Only 4 percent are NRA members and look at the clout they have now." What a crying shame that NRA has only 4 million members, especially at such a critical time!
Fellows, there's only 6 shopping days 'til Christmas......what better present or stocking stuffer than an NRA membership to a friend or family member and the cost is less than a box of cartridges for your pet rifle? If every NRA member signed up just one new member, just think of the message that would send to Washington!

Remember the free gun insurance that alone is very likely worth the cost of membership, not to mention the discounts on many products and services offered to all current members; check them out here (I saved $200/yr on auto insurance alone w/NRA discount.):
