      Would this help our 2A cause????

      That 51% was 54% 9 months ago. It's dropping, and only a concerted effort will reverse it. Plus, we're losing the battle for the undecideds. So the specter of gun control is still out there, and you want the NRA to double down and take a more radical position? I'm sorry, but that would end...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      I wouldn't put it in such terms, but yes, you've got the basic idea. Sitting back, engaging in the politics is not doing anything for us in the media and public image. We need an offensive that would be divorced from the NRA, and "morally" beyond reproach. A campaign to win the hearts and minds...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      When is it time to call a spade a spade? If both parties have failed to disprove President Obama's eligibility, perhaps it's because he actually is eligible. You claim he cannot possibly be eligible, so what's your proof? Something you heard? Talk about listening to propaganda. Back to the...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      You hit the nail on the head, the NRA is effective (for US) and that's why they're portrayed negatively. Rush Limbaugh is portrayed negatively because he has made a career out of being incendiary and controversial. That SELLS. What I'm talking about is an organization with no political agenda...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      You're looking at it backwards. Functionally the NRA is great. There's no debate about that. But as far as the media and public perception goes, their brand is toxic these days. They're TOO politicized. What I was envisioning is a group of gun owners that could reach out to the greater community...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      Yeah, the NRA is just one of those things. I appreciate the work they do, but lately they've been less than helpful at least as far as the media goes. The work of the ILA is great. It's just the comments that you see on news articles about Wayne LaPierre... they're not good. Here, amongst...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I don't want it to be solely for victims. That's essentially just trying to buy forgiveness for simply owning guns. I want to include victims, to show that the majority of us do care, and realize that they've made a sacrifice in the name of our...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      Absolutely, I don't blame the guns. When I said "gun violence", I wasn't using it the manner we're accustom to hearing, I literally meant simply violence perpetrated with guns. And if you'll note, I was quite a bit vaguer than that elsewhere in my initial post. I just want to make it clear that...

      Would this help our 2A cause????

      I don't want this post to be political. I'm just brainstorming here, so bear with me. Whether it's right or wrong, accurate or false... THE NRA HAS AN IMAGE PROBLEM. I'm not bashing the NRA, I'm just saying that it's PR is terrible. The NRA itself does tons of wonderful things for all of us...

      Scored a Bow @ Garage Sale... Now What?

      Just to be clear, I grabbed it just to see if I like it. I have no problem at all upgrading to a new one next year if I do in fact enjoy it. The limbs seem to have quite a bit of spring to them, and the seller told me that it had been her son's but he seldom ever used it and it has been...

      Scored a Bow @ Garage Sale... Now What?

      I grabbed a Bear Whitetail EL compound bow at a garage sale for $10. I don't know much about bows, this one seems either very old (good shape, but not as new fangled as the ones in stores) or very cheap, maybe even both. For $10 though, it's worth trying out this fall. There was no documentation...

      M&P45C & X Grips

      Can't address the 45 mag issues, but I have a 9c with a few full size mags. I bought one X-Grip, and one plain plastic extender (can't recall the brand, but it was in stock at Bradis). The X-Grip looks and feels much better. It's a softer, grippier plastic with the texture and contour to...

      What gun are you?

      AK for me. So where do I collect my prize?

      left eye dominant

      I'm the opposite, left hand/right eye. Since it's my right eye, I was able to adopt shooting right handed long guns with no problems at all. Since you're left eye is dominant, that's trickier since you'll be catching brass with your face if you do any left hand shooting with a right handed...

      Angry liberal calls out Democrats for being so stupid about guns and gun control

      Another thing to remember is that by and large politicians don't actually care about gun control. They all have a stated position, sure, but there are only a select few of them that actually make any effort to craft legislation. Gun control is a very dangerous issue for politicians on all sides...

      Need help prioritizing...

      So, there are a few guns on my list, but money's an issue and I honestly can't decide what order to look for them in. I'd like to get each of the following... a j frame or similar a 1911 a tactical shotty a mid-grade o/u trap/skeet gun This is further complicated because I currently...

      Angry liberal calls out Democrats for being so stupid about guns and gun control

      I don't doubt your experience at all. I'm just advocating for us not to do anything to hurt ourselves. They could very well be hurting their own cause by name-calling and insulting you depending on who else is seeing/hearing it. Let them, just don't retaliate, be the bigger man. As for the...

      Angry liberal calls out Democrats for being so stupid about guns and gun control

      Being left of center myself, these are the exact same reasons that I have been speaking out against gun control for the past few months. I'm not happy with our president on this issue, but let us not forget the debate where both he and Romney pledged support for a renewed assault weapons ban...

      357 deer hunting

      I've got a Marlin carbine and a S&W wheel gun, and have been loading 158 gr. Hornady XTP-JHPs on top of 16 grains of H110 powder... haven't tried it on a deer yet, but I've little doubt it would an effective round. Accurate within 100 yards and hits the berm with a resounding thud and dirt...

      Letter to Monroe County Sheriff Kennedy

      It seems likely that any responses given will likely include some middle of the road rhetoric to the effect that it is not their place to determine the Constitutionality of any legislation, and that they are sworn to uphold any laws on the books. The Supreme Court will ultimately have the final...
