Woke politicians are constantly asking why the NRA is so powerful. One reason is because I am a life member of the NRA. Another 6 Million reasons is because at least 6,000,000 other gun owners feel it is necessary to pay dues to an organization to protect their gun rights from their own elected officials. And even more so from Bureaucrats who are supposed to be working for the American People, but who want to take our access to guns away.
The NRA hasn't been without its problems, I am aware of that. Every member is aware of that. But, it is one of the few organizations through which real Americans can get their message to members of Congress and the President. So, that alone is good enough for me. Congress sure as **** doesn't listen to me when I call up and leave a message on any congressman's recorded message line.
This is not an NRA advertisement begging for money or more members. I just felt like saying this, as an individual gun owner. Not a manufacturer. Not a gun dealer. And, not getting one red cent from the NRA or any other organization to say it.
