RE: NRA does do for hunters....
lose the 2nd Amendment and we're all gonna look pretty silly running round the woods with our pointy sticks trying to get in touch with Mother Nature...
Beneath the 2nd Amendment lies distince parallels... Self defense, hunting, recreational shooting... are all equal... they are lower on the food chain than the 2nd Amendment. The NRA's purpose is to protect the 2nd in turn protecting your right to own and use a firearm in your endevour whether it is stopping an intruder, whackin the turdy point buck or puttin lead downrange @ 500 meters...
If there is so much as a single firearm in your home or under your ownership you had best leave all other tirades behind and get on board with the organizations fighting to protect that firearm... no matter what you may use that firearm for... it's not about the deer or the target or the bad guy... it is about your RIGHT to KEEP and BEAR ARMS as a God given right to be armed and partake in activities against said deer, target or bad guy..
pretty darn cut and dry... there ARE NO gray areas when it comes to the 2nd Amendment... you're either with it or against it... you just have to make up your mind... a maybe this or maybe that does nothing but cause disarray and dissention in the ranks and leaves the door cracked so the enemy (read that Anti-Gun folk) can sneak in and try to snatch the cake away, one crumb at a time.

Rootsy and JagMagMan, I couldn't agree more with you.
All lawful owners and users of firearms have to realize that the anti-gun misguided politicians and fanatics won't be satisfied until every last type of firearm is registered, then confiscated. They work one step at a time here just like they did in Great Britain and are doing so in Australia and most European countries.
The NRA is one of the biggest most aggressive pro-gun owners’ organizations that is active in the U.S. There are others I grant you that. If you choose to support another that is doing effective work on protecting gun owners right to own and use firearms that have been available and used legally for more than a hundred years (semi-autoloaders) and other firearms for as long as there has been a USA, more power to you.
Please just don't bash this organization because of trivial things like some of those we've heard like "they didn't give prizes to" whatever your favorite programs is. That's not their primary reason for existing. It doesn’t mean they don’t value your causes.
We need to be joining together to beat these radical gun banning liberal bunch that has been embolden with this last election. We better get at least as serious and work harder to protect our 2nd Amendment rights as the anti's are to try to take them away.
