I was an NRA member since 1956. I still take my target pistols and rifles to a local range to keep my eye-hand skills close to my former abilities. I dropped the NRA this year, unable to continue supporting a political PAC that is a shill for gun manufacturers watching their sales drop. Holding our elected officials hostage with phony ratings to secure belief in paranoid gun-grabbing schemes relies on a big lie. Every country that has tried governing based on a big lie has failed in the face of truth and a people willing to defend that truth. Supporting the NRA’s political agenda made of cheap stampings is like putting lipstick on a lunatic.
