100,000 new members...

 

Pretty sad if you ask me... especially seeing as they only have about 4.4 million members out of what? Like 80-100 million gun owners?

The NRA didn't do itself many favors with its press conference and Wayne LaPierre, who's sole role is to be the voice of gun owners, has hardly proved to be an adequate spokesman. It certainly turned away some crowds.

Meh.

 

 

It's funny how he recommends armed security in schools, then all of a sudden schools are the nation are putting armed guards in schools. Personally, I think it's a fine idea.

Agreed. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they're our best bet. Furthermore, they are a member-driven organization where we have the ability to vote and be represented, so if you don't like it, you can change it.

Not even a gun owner yet and I joined.

 

I don't like everything they do, but they are gun owners strongest line of defense.

Doesn't help that the unbiased media compares the NRA to the Third Reich and KKK rolled into one and saying they are directly responsible for the murder of children.

I wonder how much money rolled into Cease Fire, The Brady Bunch and other anti's. I'm sure it can't compare, but private bundlers (Soros) may have ponied up some coin as well in lieu of memberships.

I'd like to see the polling results on how the author got to the statement "Most gun owners don't like the NRA". It is also not really correct to imply that because only 1% of gun owners are members that the orgaization is a fail and that it "only represents 1% of gun owners". Nothing like truth in reporting.

4.4 million is less than one percent of 100 million? Am I missing something, or did my brain just explode?

If you had 4 penny's, what percentage of a dollar would you have??

I'm one of them. As I've said before though some gun owners are our worst enemy. I know many guys who hunt and don't think "people should be able to have high powered military weapons."

Four percent, unless all those years of math class were wrong...

A lot of gun owners don't really identify with the NRA, especially here in NJ where it has been perceived as abandoning them. Many others get kinda sick of the fear mongering as well... It essentially turned into "crying wolf".

 

But still ~4.4M out of a range of 80-100M isn't too great of a representation. On the national stage, the NRA supposedly represents all gun owners... but does it really?

The author isn't on top of their math today :x

Funny how a lot of the fudds don't like 'military rifles'. Odd that most bolt actions are designed from the Mauser / 1903 Springfield. Or that lever guns were designed for the military or that pump action shotguns got their popularity from the WWI trenches.

Fudds mistakenly believed in the late 80s and early 90s that by sacrificing assault rifles, their sport would be protected. But that didn't work too well for people in England or Australia, because it's merely a strategy of 'divide and conquer'.

Exactly...

 

On another note...if you had four pennies, you'd have about 10 cents worth of copper.

Not sure if 100,000 is accurate, I would like to think it was more.

 

Anyway, the way I see it is if 4 million NRA members educate 1 non-gun owner each on the facts of guns and gun control now we have 8 million people educated. Then the they each educate 1 more person and so on, before you know it many more millions get it. Myself, I have educated at least 6 non-gun owners on the facts of guns and gun control in the last 30 days, and now their eyes are open to the anti's BS. 2 went to apply for FID's . How many did you bring on board lately?

Well me ask this question? What the normal increase in membership each month and year on average if anyone knows.

pennies aren't made of copper

As of 2011, it costs 2.41¢ US (or $0.0241 US Dollars (USD)) to make a penny, making the coin's face value less than its actual value.

Once again, you are all knowing....before 1981 they were 95% copper.

If it was made of copper, people would be scrapping them at scrap yards. goofball

Dude, you are so friggin Raytarded it is scary sometimes. Once again you decide to try to zing me and you show that you truly are are a short-bus window licker that wears one of those special helmets. I will attempt to make things so simple that maybe, maybe you and Joe Biden can understand it.

 

One, it is illegal to destroy US Currency.

 

Two, how many people have crucibles (a container able to withstand extremely high temperatures) able to reach 1400-1600 degrees (thats really hot) to smelt (make metals liquid so they can seperate impurities) copper and form die-casts (molds like you use for your Play-Doh) it into shapes that junk yards aren't going to question the origin (place it came from)?

 

So, according to the ultimate Ray-tard, all the information about US coins made before 1982, with the exception of steel pennies made for a couple of years during WWII, are NOT copper.

 

And once again, the NJ Forum Raytard, has derailed someone's thread just so he can get his post count up. Time to put you back in the ignore catagory.

 

Note to self...remember not to argue with idiots, they don't care and are unarmed for an intelligent conversation.

Worst part of it, if you and Ray were having this discussion in person, and knowing Ray, you would be both laughing your asses off with how the convo would go, but put it in the written word here on the forum and it turns into this..
