Tiff, why don't you just start a new organization..."Tiffany's Epiphany"...and let it grow (grassroots) from there?
I'm just not all that sanguine about the ability of the NRA to survive the challenges of its own ponderous weight.
Have you had much interaction or personal experience with the SAF? Thoughts? Experiences?
There's nothing civil about this war.
I've got the first one printed out and am getting signatures.Originally Posted by Tiffany Johnson
I started a new thread on this bylaw amendment petition. Hope y'all will add your signatures. Here's the thread if you're interested.
Thanks!

You're too cute. [emoji4] Believe me, I'm the last person who needs to be starting up a national organization. But thanks for the vote of confidence!
I'm a member of SAF. I think they're great. But I think their influence is pretty limited to the courts (where they've done fabulous work).
I haven't quite made up my mind that the NRA is dead, but I plan to reassess after the September board meeting. I think we'll learn a lot more about the NRA's prognosis from what happens there.

Any pointers on where to find my Life member number? So I can sign the petition.
If it is on the magazine mailing label, which one is it?
Thank you!
Also, the petition instructions tell you several ways to find your number. Thanks!

Wow. I've apparently been out of the loop. I had no idea about any of this... The NRA, to me, has long been an ineffective organization that does more to give gun owners a bad name than it does to help them.
This, paired with where the NRA has taken their public image in the past decade or two lead me to think that it's time to let the beast die and look for another lobbying and legal ally. They are reviled by not just anti-gunners, but also many firearms owners/activists who are historically not members. I think clinging to their name or the membership they have catered to is a non-starter in 2019...
...but hey, that's just me.
So you're saying the NRA hasn't done anything?
How did you get that out of what I said? I was saying that there are other means to support the RKBA besides having the NRA as the sole agent of the argument. One can directly influence your legislators.
The NRA as the sole agent is put forward to excuse or allow unacceptable behavior or not criticizing their positions when they go out of their lane on political issues.
Thus, the NRA must be accepted as our only true Savior is not empirically true and is not a reason for accepting the current crew as irreplaceable.
The past is all well and good but if you screw up now, the past doesn't make you immune to evaluation of your current actions.
As I have said before, if you are true to the cause and your continued 'leadership' lacks a significant proportion of the support, you are less important than the cause. Only hubris, delusion or greed makes one think that they are irreplaceable. A person of commitment to the cause or honor would not engage in self-serving acrimony.
