I agree support other groups as well as the NRA. I have never found any other group as good at the marketing as the NRA. What other group has as many parts to it for supporting education, training, fundraising for others (friends of the nra), magazines with good content, etc. GOA and second amendment foundation are weak on all of this. If another group wants to step up and fill the NRA shoes they better step up their game and quick. The lobbying is critical but a lot of NRA members get things out of these other items they have as well. We do not have industry wide accepted training besides the NRA really. Yes you can go to gunsite or others but how many NRA certified instructors are out there vs some other national group certifying trainers? Maybe I am missing the boat and if so please inform me because I am always looking for other groups that offer this stuff as well besides the NRA. Also what about another event like NRAAM where we can walk through an exhibit hall like that without being a industry member to go to shot show. The other big one in PA I believe is now ran by the NRA as well so GOA and others need to step up their game or NSSF needs to step up and take over the show as well. 80,000 attendees is quite the event.
