But there are other options. Depending on your particular set of convictions, there are many choices for gun owners to throw their efforts behind--both with manpower, and of course, with financial support. If you're politically inclined, we have NRA and/or GOA and/or CCRKBA. If you're more into promoting ideas, there are JPFO and/or SAF. And, of course, there are various state and localized efforts.
The blunt and obvious truth: The other side has wealthy benefactors allowing it to prepare slick, "professional" and compelling propaganda to attack our rights--plus the media is overwhelmingly sympathetic to citizen disarmament. We cannot even compete--let alone win-- in the forum of public opinion if we do nothing to counter their arguments and promote our own. And that, like it or not, requires funding--and lots of it.
Go take this week's poll, the results of which I'll discuss next Sunday.
Here are the results of last week's poll (click on image to enlarge):

does time count?
At this point, I'm kinda wary of organizations. I'm concentrating on grass roots work with other individuals in Illinois.
I have tossed the odd contribution here and there and did join ISRA (Illinois State Rifle Association) but I'm not seriously contributing to any organization until I know they are really effective. I've only been active now politically on this issue for about 6 months now.
No, Vinnie--time will be nect week's poll.
