yes, exactly. How many of you are actual members of the GOA and/or the NRA? I read something recently about how the GOA was the only gun organization to fight the Brady bill. Apparentl NOT the NRA, which surprises me Always look at the money. GOA's money, just like JPFO's, comes from people who think the NRA isn't doing enough. As a result, they make their bread and butter from contrasting themselves with the NRA.    The NRA fights on the front, the back rooms, and the sides. GOA is much like the organization that brought San Francisco's handgun ban into the forefront of a big fight (claiming the NRA was doing nothing) and forcing the issue  after the NRA had made a back-room deal to let it die quietly . The result was that they backed San Fran into a corner and the NRA's deal was off, since it'd been brought into the spotlight.    Never fail to scrutinize the objectives and money sources of all the organizations involved here. NRA's a big org which gets money from campaigning, etc.    The other orgs are small orgs which make  their  money by pissing people off at the NRA. When was the last time you heard of a GOA grassroots event?
