U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Let’s face the facts. Without the NRA Hillary would be President and Schumer would be the leading the Senate. The Supreme Court would be backed with young gun grabbing justices. The record number of judges DJ Trump has had appointed would be all to the left center. Imagine the 9th Circuit Court being the norm for the country as a whole.
For the 40 million gun owners who identify as NRA members and all you who gave and supported the NRA. THANK YOU!
Without you (the extended family of gun owners and NRA supporters) Hillary would be in the Whitehouse today.
Let that sink in for a few seconds…All you who ranted and raved that the NRA is the devil, that any compromise equates to surrender need to stop drinking the kool-aid. No one else has the political sway to do what the NRA can do. No one.
Do not make an enemy of the good because it lacks perfection.
So let me try to explain something to you. Remember the Assault Weapon Ban? Sure you do. If not for the NRA negotiating a sunset clause this bill would still be law today.
The same thing for insta-check, an NRA compromise that prevented a national 15-day waiting period.
It is easy to yell and scream, but Bill and Hillary Clinton had the votes to push through and pass these bills without any compromise to the NRA. These gun bans were Hillary’s baby, and she was willing to do anything to get them passed. Trade anything, swap anything, twist any arms. You have the sunsetting of the Assault Gun Ban, and no waiting periods thanks to the NRA. Some would have had us fall on our sword. No compromise every. That path leads to the death of our rights. The NRA plays the long game.
So what did the NRA do to help President Trump? Well here is an ad the NRA ran. Click on it and see. There is a reason white women voted in a majority for Trump.
Different gun rights groups do different things better. The GOA is excellent at law suits but poor at most everything else. The NRA, great at mass campaigns and talking to America’s 120+ million gun owners. At the end of the day support the NRA or lose your right to own a gun. Everyone helps but only one group has the gravitas to change a national election. Oh, and yes, I read all your comments, which is why I am responding. Don’t bash other gun groups. We need EVERY resource we can get to win this fight. The anti-gun left is not going away, and a house divided cannot stand.
We need to educate the next generation and recruit outside our comfort base. If not we’ll be defending our rights forever. Join me, support the FNRA, teach freedom and fight the left. Thank you for reading.

The NRA has signed off on every major piece of anti-gun legislation since 1934. That’s undeniable. And their idea of “compromise” today is to ask the ATF to legislate. Tell me again how the series of compromises that the NRA has allowed done anything to win the war? Your defeatist attitude seems to be “the loss of our rights is inevitable, so let’s compromise and slow the progress”.
If not for Donald Trump Hillary Clinton would be President. Donald Trump publically verbalizing his pro-gun views gave the NRA and the American public an outspoken politician they could unite behind!
I’m a life member of the NRA. When I can afford to, I compete in Civilian Marksmanship Program highpower rifle, and unofficial IPSC and 3-Gun matches. I am a proponent of Constitutional Carry, including Open Carry. I’m not a “fudd” who is okay with “those scary black guns” being banned – I *built* mine from parts. That being said, I must ask: Where was the NRA for Brian Aitken? Or Shaneen Allen? Or Meg Fellenbaum? Or Wayne Fincher? Or David Olofson? Why, instead, are our membership dues being spent training and “supporting” the enforcers of the very laws NRA claims… Read more »
I read the top 2 sentences and that was enough to see it wasn’t a joke. The NRA is becoming useless and fails to show when actually needed. Truth be told, the NRA is really no more pro gun than Chuck Schumer. This is NOT the NRA of old but more of a false show of support. The NRA has become more of an HOA than an advocate for the 2nd amendment. Let these comments reflect back to them as a caution on their future. To even say they stood openly against the Killery campaign shows they’re more credit than… Read more »
Oh yes nra it was all your doing!! Get over yourselves. How about you start doing what you’re actually supposed to be doing and fighting for our 2A rights. The elections were over a year ago and your still trying to take all the credit and pat yourselves on the back. You guys have gone soft and turned yourselves into $ grubbers. Im actually embarrassed of being a lifelong member. My father & grandfather use to tell me the nra had our backs. The nra was fighting the good fight. But that not what im seeing, thats not what im… Read more »
@ Lisa where did you come up with this? I have never heard anything like this and I listen to Hannity and Tucker. If this were to ever happen they would have reported it because anything that is news they go after. In addition I keep abreast of other information sources and have never heard of anything so far out in left field. This must have come from Morning Joe, the joke.
