This, right here. It wouldn't matter if every gun owner in America joined the NRA. The left will keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing. The NRA will hem-haw around and give up certain rights and budge on certain things until the left starts attacking them by pulling sponsors. The country already knows how many gun owners there are, regardless of only 5 million NRA members. 5 million people don't own over 300 million firearms.
The idea that if I join the NRA my voting habits will have more backing is ludicrous. I'm sure all the gun owners of America vote pro-gun reps now. So why pay money to the NRA? Exactly what are they voting on that I'm not? They're our voice in Washington, but many, many gun owners e-mail reps who aren't NRA members. Not to mention, even with the NRA in place, we still have states trampling rights right now, and sure the NRA is suing them. That should be resolved within maybe 5 years?
Honestly, I'm not joining the NRA. I say get on with it already. If not, it'll be a relentless, never ending B.S. battle that will result in the obvious anyways. History has a way of repeating itself. We're not an exception.
