Is the NRA important yes, is it perfect no. This is just like someone that says everything the Repubs do is right and everything the Dems do is wrong. Its silly to think that one group of people is perfect.
Good point you gotta take the NRA for what they are. The opposite of the anti gun groups. Fire with fire and all that, someone else pointed that out and I think the NRA serves a valid purpose they get more blame and credit than they deserve. They are like you said not a law enforcement org. But they arent perfect and I see both sides.All I'm saying is I would rather have a vicious dog gaurding my freedoms than a beagle.
