Used to be a NRA member but dropped out. Years ago they put out an article stating CA was a lost state and they were not going to fight here any longer. Couldn't see giving them my money if they were not going to fight for my rights here. Guess that has changed.
Some good news on the ammo front

I use to get an NRA card.
Then it stopped . I tried to contact them but they just wanted more money. Part of my frustrations was exactly this. I saw very little help in Calif. But as the ant Christ ramp up their BS , I see them all the pro second amendment jumping in to the rescue..
We are in a fight for our freedoms.
If we lose we lose big..
Say good bye to constitutional rights.
Big big big loss..
The bad part is they use our own tax money to pass and inforce unconstitutional laws..

Member here for sure.. was in VA last week and kept driving by the NRA firearms museum but didn't have time to stop by and check it out.
I have never read or heard this from any NRA rep....Just the opposite....And just the fact that us commoners have them, stops a lot of these liberal politicians from these stupid anti-gun bills.
