NRA vs. GOA?

What is the GIM take on which gun-related organization is better, National Rifle Association, or Gun Owners of America?

Please include an explanation with your vote. Links to further info are beneficial as well.

GOA doesn't compromise. I'm afraid I just can not see the merit in supporting an organization (NRA) that seems more than willing to allow our rights to slowly be whittled away.

Re: NRA vs. GOA?

Both.

I join the NRA because it is a requirement if you want to belong to local private gun clubs.

I recently listened to Larry Pratt on TruNews with Rick Wiles. Larry was encouraging patriots to organize in their local towns and neighborhoods, not just bury their guns and sit back waiting for something to happen.

Correct as NRA gave away Machine Guns to get Milsurps. LOL

Not a good trade IMO.

Re: NRA vs. GOA?

Neither.......

One has long been co opted by liberal hacks and it is there job to make the anti gun legislation palpatable for the membership (have you seen NRA headquaters near(FBI) Quantaco Virgina?)

GOA is too small and if you DONT play ball with the big boys you WONT even get a seat at the table. GOA is good for getting out information about canidates and voting records and maybe able to infulence local politcal races but on the national level They fall short .And its not really there fault but the bottom line is.

Rules about the ownership of guns will not be setteled by papers and talking it will be setteled by those who have them. Period end of story.

Re: NRA vs. GOA?

Who the F does this Sack of shit think he is to regulate our 2nd Amendment rights.

This guy is just one example of the psychotic mentality of the supposed organisation that protects our gun rights.

He talks about the 2nd and then speaks to regulate our rights.

What a GD hypocrite.

Yes, because anyone who has a different opinion is a "hater"? I think you're a smart guy eol, but you can be so hardheaded at times.

And just for the record, I don't believe the jpfo for one second.

No, because anyone that lumps EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of a particular group into the "evil" column is a hater. Hardheaded? Pot, kettle, etc.

Show me FACTUAL EVIDENCE that JPFO is a fifth column group, and I'll check it out. :dontknow:

JPFO does little of nothing to point this out, all they do is send the message "We are Jews and we oppose gun control" so the the masses can't see who is really behind it.

Look at Hollywood and mass media.

OK, they spent money. Anything else?

If you are anti-NRA, at least go for the Second Amendment Foundation - they have a long list of achievements on the legal front.

Sued Morton Grove, IL and got them to get rid of their handgun ban.

Suing to overturn the Chicago and San Francisco gun bans.

Suing to allow non-citizens to own guns in Washington State.

Riled up the Washingtonians and forced the State EPA to remove a recommendation to ban lead ammunition.

No, he didn't. So the GOA dues go to hire a few lobbyists who have done... what? Anything? How is this an accomplishment?

You accuse NRA members of just paying for LaPierre's salary... but that is even more true of the GOA.

Because while the NRA is making actual progress in helping the rights of gun owners (that list was just recent accomplishments), not to mention gun safety programs, "Refuse to be a victim", scholarships, etc., the GOA pays $$ to their board and whomever their lobbyists are, and call the NRA sell-outs. Because, as far as I've been able to tell for my many years of being a gun owner, that is all they do.

Unless you can point me to something concrete that the self-proclaimed "second largest" gun owners group has done...

What about JPFO? JPFO exists solely for one purpose, and it's not defense of the Second Amendment.

Re: NRA vs. GOA?

I dont have a horse in this race but we need to be NRA to use the range here.

I did receive a letter recently & wanted to post it here.
I am not saying it is right or wrong but I was surprised by the numbers & agree to some extent. It would be much better for all of us if there was a better organization of gun owners.

Here is the email in part..............................................

I am hoping that this does not last long because it is outright silly of the dealers and firearm buyers to hoard the items this quick; and inauguration is in January 20 2009; people could have taken a tiny little bit more time in thinking it through and not drum up the frenzy that has all but been inevitable. And if everyone (especially dealers; of which they continue to fail to do) only did what I have been talking up for the longest time - join the NRA regardless of thoughts, stigmas or excuses - we would never have to worry. There are well over 80 million gun owners and still only 4 million NRA members. That is the poorest show of ownership and commitment; the saddest example of how complacency continues to allow anti-gun polititians to pick away at legitimate firearms ownership, and it will continue that path until we become like Australia, Canada or England. The simplest, almost silent-yet-speaks-stronger method is to have the numbers in the only organization taken seriously by such anti-gun individuals, and there would be no worries of "are they going to enact another <ridiculous, ineffective, stupid, etc> firearms ban". There is no reason why we should not have a minimum of 50% - half of the firearms owners - be NRA. Imagine what 40 million does merely as a number recognized by those public elected officials. Instead, we have the laughable 4 million.
And now we have this stressful presidential outcome. Can't believe how many people; firearms owning people - voted for the man that has an outstanding history and platform of "guns need to be limited or outright banned". He is/was not just 'a charismatic person'; he, just like the Clintons, have a history of quotable int entions to ban firearms whether it be incrementaly or in major steps. I am not even pleased with any of the presidential situations; when will individuals out there realize that we all need to be the strength in the people; not rely on a presidential elect? We now have to search high and low, wait endlessly on backorders, for such mainstay items like AR-15 lowers, rifles, etc.
The same crap happened domestically in 1994 and 2000.

Good chart from there:

As can be expected from JPFO, that chart is DAMNED LIES in regards to Germany.

"You know who" actually reduced firearms restrictions inherited from the Weimar Republic. "Ban on possession"? What a bunch of bullshit. A quick glance at popular magazines from 1933-1945 in Germany showed firearms advertisements aimed at civilians in most issues.

The JPFO exists only for one reason: a vain attempt to deflect the perception that "Jews in government = gun control."

Emanuel Cellar
Howard Metzenbaum
Herbert Kohl
Chuck Schumer
Arlen Specter
Dianne Feinstein
Frank Lautenberg
Barbara Boxer
Abraham Levin

I don't need to go on, right?

If JPFO "leadership" were sincere, they could simply participate in a legitimate gun-rights organization, and, STOP LYING about the history of gun control.

The whitewash of the (largely Jewish) Soviet Union is as expected..."severe penalties"? Yeah, the DEATH penalty, for unauthorized possession. Pretty severe I'd say...

Wow, that's cool that you have all those popular German magazines from 1933-1945 at your disposal. :wink:
