I joined for one year about 2003 or so at a Gun show and paid $10.00 and got an NRA hat .IRRC one thing they sent me was an NRA sticker and they sent other stuff as well other wise i wouldn't have caught onto them.. By that time i was disillusioned by they way they twist things and through all the crap away except for the sticker and i put that on my bronco for any country sheriff to see.
Do you have a problem understanding the info in the linked article? I'll try and clear it up for you..Note the underlined...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue in ads that the Obama administration believes its gun control plans won't work unless the government seizes firearms and requires national gun registration - ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support.
The administration has not proposed gun registration, buybacks or banning all firearms.
It didn't support same-sex marriages until it did, either.
Mental acuity seems to be absent in the ******* camp. Think of the most vile-snake in the grass politician you can think of. Obama is 10-times worse.
What the NRA is doing is taking a report that said banning high capacity mags and other legislation would likely do nothing unless the current ones on the market were removed.
The NRA went off into looney tunes land, twisting the report and spreading propaganda that Obama is going to raid your house, and take all of your guns and magazines.
You said that very well. Seems like that with many NRA members if you don't totally agree then you are an enemy and want all their guns.
The NRA did the same thing with the Arms Treaty negotiations. The arms treaty meeting was sat to be two weeks long and then adj-end. The is no rough draft of the treaty and this was the countries getting together and putting their two cents worth and that was all they were planning to do. Nothing more. Wayne L went around and got 19 Senators to say they would object the arms treaty that DOESN'T EXIST. That looks good on paper for your constituents and you have risked nothing as a senator. Wayne the sends out NRA letters saying that Hillary was going to sign the arms treaty and he got 19 senators to shut it down. That is pretty much how that went irrc.
All Obama is doing to political pandering to calm the grieving people after the horrific tragedies.
If Obama really wanted to pass anti-gun legislation, he would have done so when the democrats had both houses.
Swing and a miss. There was this little issue that happened last November that Obama was concerned about that prevented it then. Now that a second term is in the works why would he need to pander at this point? Just look at his past record on guns. That tells the story.

That's exactly right. Obama has done absolutly nothing to infringe on 2nd amendment rights. Has hasn't done anything before, and he's not going to do anything now.
We have a background check when buying from a dealer. No difference!
That's right. Like I said, noble in it's intent, but anyone who says that there will be no "gun registry" are flat out wrong. A background check is in fact a de facto gun registry.
The NRA is more a lobbyist for gun makers than for gun owners. They just feed gun owners a line of thinking that many of them regurgitiate without even contemplating in order to help pad the profits of gun manufactures.
I was an NRA member until i saw them telling lies and another twisted one is coming out if not already out there. I own a few guns and always have and come from a strong farm background. As i have said before we need more gun owner responsibility and new technology on new guns and more time and money spent on Mental Health. I am for background checks.. I am against banning any gun at all
But the NRA has posted the memo on one of its websites and cites it in advertising aimed at whipping up opposition to Obama's efforts to contain gun violence. The ad says the paper shows that the administration "believes that a gun ban will not work without mandatory gun confiscation" and thinks universal background checks "won't work without requiring national gun registration" - ideas the president has not proposed or expressed support for.

Wouldn't you already be in a registry/file if you purchased a gun in the past from a licensed dealer?

A buddy of mine owns part of a gun shop and he just loves this stuff. He Won't admit it but i think he voted Obama.
