This is not surprising...I'd be interested to see recent guns sales (especially AR-15s)

Yep, people feel threatened when there is talk of attacking the second amendment, bans and other silliness. When they send a message loud and clear you buy now or never people move on it.

Guns aren’t going anywhere. The Bolshevik revolution will have to wait.

The NRA is a dangerous leftist organization posing as right-wing. It's disappointing that so many folks who believe they are advancing the cause of freedom are supporting the NRA.

They likely aren't but calling anyone asking for changes a Bolshevik suggests your own viewpoints are either extreme or paranoid or perhaps both.

G.O.A, they dont compromise or sell out like the NRA

[Hesychios]

Recently revealed that the NRA is taking foreign money, despite it's tax exempt status and political lobbying efforts.

Not a good combination ... possibly illegal.

Ammunition and women buying handguns are the HOT movers right now.

223 and 5.56 is getting hard to find locally. On-line seems to be the only place I can find the exact rounds I'm sighted in for.
300 Blackout is non-existent on the shelves.

That is an interesting statement , why do you feel that way?

I have always thought the nra was stupid not to be protecting stuff like concealed carry , guns for homeowner defense and legal rights like stand your ground but they should be taking the lead in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mentally ill people. They have made some terrible strategic decisions that seemed more at protecting gun manufacturers than gun owners and are getting a bad name

A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that for the first time since at least 2000, Americans hold a net unfavorable view of the NRA. http://www.businessinsider.com/nra-p...dislike-2018-3

NRA funding reflects a tiny fraction of the Republican fundraising , I wonder if as someone who believes in concealed carry , we could ever get a better and more effective lobbying organization

That reminds me of that vlog from Paul Joseph Watson who talk of one unintended consequences of the Anti-gun March: rising of gun sales and NRA membership.
