The National Rifle Association would like me to renew my lapsed membership. It's been lapsed for several years now.
What's the NRA promising to do to get me to renew? Are they promising to fight any new "assault weapon" ban? Are they vowing to lobby in favor of a national concealed-carry law mandating that all states recognize all other states' carry permits? Promise no more of the endless compromises that salami-slice away my rights?
No.
Nothing like that.
They're offering me a "heavy-duty" NRA-branded duffel bag.
YOU INFERNAL IDIOTS!!! IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DAMNED BLING!!!

A few years back,those of us who had these problems with the NRA were considered *way* out there.
Now, it's getting to be downright mainstream, and even the NRA members I know cringe when these topics come up - or are members because they have to be (Range membership, other reasons).
This gives me a lot of hope that either the NRA will be transformed, or they'll revert back to their original purpose (Not being a Civil Rights org), and a organization that does have Civil Rights as it's main purview will be the new heavy.
