Days of Our Trailers wrote yesterday that there’s only 4.3 million NRA members, out of an estimated 80 million gun owners. By colloquial definition, this makes 75.7 million gun owners Fudds. (after Elmer of the same name, people who gain from the NRA’s political actions, without contributing). That’s 5.3% carrying all the other folks.
And, while we might diminish the political clout of the anti-gun crowd, they will never go away. They (what few there are) are true believers.
So, Kaveman’s argument is to make a non-paying, fence-sitter a member, because it’s easier than converting an anti true believer.
I agree.
Don’t keep enabling Fudds!

I'll be happy to rejoin the NRA as soon as they fire Wayne LaPierre and stop sending mailers every week begging for money using scare tactics.
