I believe the country is fed up with the spree shootings and reasonable people blame the NRA to one degree or another. The result is their power and influence is declining.
I also agree with those reports that say their power has been over-estimated. The money spent on losing political candidates over the last 5 years is one indication. Another is they way they continually spin the membership numbers. How often do we hear them claim 4 million members in a boasting manner?
They could also say their members represent 4% of gun owners, but that doesn't sound so impressive.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
And the Brady Campaign's 28,000 members, or under 0.00018 of the non-gun owning public, is supposed to be impressive? Or their $2860 budget?

Jack, I hope you become a regular. It's been getting thick around here lately.
DeletePlease do, I want to watch a strongman too, instead of just a clown (Greg).
DeleteThat would be truly entertaining.
Also, considering that "smart" pro-gun, pro-freedom, people are showing up en masse lately, I wonder if someone blew the whistle about the "control freak statist" called "E.N"?
