Speaking as someone who recently joined both the NRA and GOA, there is room for criticism of the NRA http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12 ... ry-school/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

While they are a good group, have done a lot of great things, they tend to, as one speaker put it, get lost in details and lose sight of the big picture 1) in an effort to appease others and 2) , more important, taking on a worldview of the neoconservatives: Centralization of power is the way to maintain our rights and "keep us safe". They oftem compromise gun rights on one hand while on the other hand bulldoze other areas of the Constitution in an effort to maintain gun rights

This not to say I don't like the NRA or that I regret having joined them (I joined them aware of the above said statement for years), I was glad to see big government neocon George H. Bush leave them following Wayne LaPierre's "jack booted thugs" statement 20 years ago, but their is room for debate here in some of their positions.

BUT, the goal should all be the same for all true conservative organizations whether it's the NRA, GOA, NAG, LOS, Tea Party, etc.. Defending God Given rights that are supposed to be protected in the U.S. and State Constitutions.

I get email, facebook posts on news wall and others from their group and other conservative groups like Tea Party, NRA, GOA, AFA and NAG. 9 times out of 10 I just see the subject post, know what it's about or going to say and pass it by.
I don't mind it really. I actually appreciate the enthusiasm. You can always mark it was spam I think if it's cluttering your mailbox
