do you want to know what Obama/Biden made me do ?

[Big Duane]

I just joined the NRA, 5 year membership

I was once a member, got sick of the badgering they did me and quit. Obama/Biden are the ultimate anti-gun leaders and if they get in God help us all.

IMO

Ditto. I'm already a life member but thanks for supporting the 2nd amendment "Duane."

Life member here too... I guess it's time to sign my son up.

Big Duane: Great. Let's see . . . Bidden is a Democrat from the East Coast, specifically Deleware, right? No surprise if he is anti-gun. I don't happen to know much about Bidden, however, can you share with us some stories or positions of Bidden on gun control issues? Where does Bidden stand on assault weapon bans, for example? "Cop killer" ammunition? Washington DC handgun ban? Other topics?

I'm an NRA member also, since 2002, when I got involved in hunting and shooting after a long period of quiescence (I left the farm to go to college, moved south, got married, raised my family in part).

NRA rated Obama "F" 3 times, Biden


All the above scare the dickens out of me, unlike the threat of Gore or Kerry

I figured this would bloom into a nice thread ??

Good for you Big Duane, I'm a long standing member. Although I've often thought that the NRA could save a lot of money if they didn't mail me so many pieces of mail wanting/asking/telling me that they need more donations for every little thing that comes up. But knowing that they are in the big fight to save the guns that "I cling to" is worth a little extra mail in the in box!!

Life member also. That combination is Obama Bin Biden.
