The NRA on Eric Holder

Thanks Blue.

It is important that gun owners realize that the NRA is not always doing what is in their bests interests. The NRA leadership makes a lot of decisions and those decisions cannot please everyone - that should not be expected. However, every decision must be measured against a practical standard of will this determination advance the strength of the 2nd Amendment and the individual states constitutions? In some instances, clearly not. In some instances, it may be a determination of where is the NRA's political capital best invested. In some instances, it may be a decision that is more important to the future of the individual making the decision than whether the decision is best for the NRA or its membership.

In the long run, the path of the NRA is one that is set by its membership unless they are unwilling to hold the NRA accountable. At that point, the membership becomes passengers on a cruise ship that is coursed by the desires of those in the pilot house rather than those on the deck and sometimes those two courses do not coincide.

As an NRA member, you might not change the course but you can certainly call the headquarters and let them know that you do or do not agree with the course. Perhaps with enough input things will change.
