Ummmm, NRA hasn't come out with ANY endorsements yet. I'll take their word for it over the word of others.

I have seriously mixed feelings on the NRA...

I would suggest they only provide their ratings/endorsements to the TOP 10% of politicians who BROADLY SUPPORT the Second Amendment.

The way politics are played these days, with no underlying principles whatsoever, means that at any one time 40% of the Anti-2A politicians can claim/lobby/vote for pro-2A legislation with the full knowledge that their voice and vote (as disingenuous as it is) will not preclude their actual Anti-2A goals from being achieved. By simply changing the complement of the 40% doing so, the Anti-2A politicians can point their supportors to their 'overwhelming' efforts to make 'reasonable gun control' laws.

It is a game that the NRA too often facilitates and participates in...

Marketing ploy by Bass Pro. They are picking up the tab!!

I get kick out of folks who question the success of this 4 million member organization.

Ive known about and heard of the NRA all my life, and I'm still not sold.

Are you involved in any gun organizations? Or are you a side line sitter?

Attempted insulting is a great way to recruit members into your club.

Sideliner? Of what? This isn't the NFL. I'm not a player in anyones games.

Insulting??? Sorry you felt that way. (not my intention) Simple question. People are either in the game, or they sit back and watch.

I was not attempting to recruit you, although I could give you tons of reasons why you should. I look at where we are now, and then I think where we would be if the other 10+ million ACTIVE gun owners were members.

If you don't support any gun rights org? I mean we are talking 25 bucks a year.

I needed a new duffel bag and decided to join, even though I had some reservations and misgivings. Turns out they send you some survey that you have to fill out in order to receive the bag. That's bait and switch in my book, and not honest.

That's what "float" means; someone with the NRA is putting it out there to see what the reaction would be. I'm turned off enough by their actions with the DISCLOSE act that I will not be renewing my membership (also the amount of phone spam is ridiculous). If there were no smoke, then the NRA would not have published the piece that you linked. Not hard to read between the lines.

Nor am I.
