    Why don't you order a firearm and have it delivered to your doormat? Oh, that's right you can't do that since the NRA helped to write and pass the GCA68.

    The NRA doesn't write or pass anything. They're not lawmakers. And if not for them and their lobbying efforts over the past decades, we wouldn't be able to buy anything, period. You know that's the goal, right? No purchase, carry or ownership? Private ownership of firearms of any kind would be a federal crime? And it's not just the left. I still remember when GHWB resigned from his lifetime membership because they were too radical after the NRA's criticism over the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents. Exposed quite a dichotomy that most didn't know existed before. But I digress.

    But no worries.....can order one and have it delivered to the store around the corner. Or just meet a guy in a parking lot and buy one from him. Done both many times and happy I can do it and can never remember a time when it was easier or more convenient and efficient. Just hope it stays that way.

    I'll say it one more time and I'm done because there's no since in arguing with someone on the same side as me........I know they're not perfect. But not to understand the impact they've had to our benefit over the decades as our rights have been under attack is just ludicrous. And doesn't make me an anti or a hater of other orgs who support our rights too. Quite the opposite. We should band together and work for our common interest instead of cultish behavior and tearing each other down.

    There is no reason for us to argue about this, so I won't. You have your opinion and I have mine.

    Haters gonna be haters. They probably haven't stopped to read up on NRA History. I agree I am not 100% with the NRA as an Endowment Member. When the politicians and media talk about anti-gun control organizations it is 99.9% happy with the NRA. The media and politicians and anti-gunners have long dreamed of a day when they could cause a ruckus like this. That is like being in a rowboat filling with water and not doing anything to get the water out of the boat because you don't like the other fellow in the boat and you think he has wronged you. So when you drown it's your fault. Folks do a get to vote in the if they have been a member for five years or have other levels of membership. You can't vote if you don't become a member or leave the NRA. All you can do is smell your upper lip and talk bad about them. I sent my one vote ballot in. We get to vote on a regular basis. The reason President Trump was elected is people came together and voted for change.

    Until they drain their swamp, those thieving cocksuckers will not get another penny from me.

    If the NRA can give Wayne LaPierre 20,000 a year for a wardrobe allowance then they do not need any money from me.

    That is just inexcusable. I don't care how much good they have done, that kind of gross mismanagement of money should not be ignore or tolerated.

    Time has come for the old to pass the baton. The NRA is not an effective protector of anything. The NRA is part of the DC Swamp and I think they are proud to be there. They think they have the connections and know better than membership.
    Last year I got a letter informing me that members in my area were not going to get the insurance benefit. Nobody said a thing when they took my money. Prices go up and basic member benefits go away. Because they don't care about the members. The swamp feeds itself. Pepe la Pew is the swamp, much more than a skunk.

    And idiots are going to be idiots.

    You might do good to read up on NRA history yourself. And also ask yourself why the politicians and media would be 99.9% happy with the NRA.

    The media and politicians and anti-gunners have long dreamed of a day when they could cause a ruckus like this.

    How exactly has the media, politicians and anti-gunners caused this ruckus? It seems to me that the NRA leadership caused it.

    That is like being in a rowboat filling with water and not doing anything to get the water out of the boat because you don't like the other fellow in the boat and you think he has wronged you. So when you drown it's your fault.

    You may be on to something here. It does look like you are in a sinking boat, so why don't you start bailing?

    Folks do a get to vote in the if they have been a member for five years or have other levels of membership. You can't vote if you don't become a member or leave the NRA. All you can do is smell your upper lip and talk bad about them. I sent my one vote ballot in. We get to vote on a regular basis.

    How is that voting thing working for you? Did your vote make any changes?

    I'm an NRA endowment member. They call me once in awhile to tell me they need my continued support and I can upgrade my membership again for a great deal. I'm not giving them another cent while people like Hammer and LaPierre are still there, and I let them know it. They can't get me off the phone fast enough. Fool me once, shame on you...

    For the people keeping score, the Second Amendment Foundation has brought more successful legal challenges against gun laws in the last decade than anyone else. They also welcome other 2A orgs to join them as co-plaintiffs.

    Our 2A orgs here in Texas need to take a page out of the Second Amendment Foundation's book and learn how to work together instead of shitting on each other.

    Thanks for the useful info. That is, indeed, what a mail permit imprint looks like. Now we just need a recipient to to down to the post office and trace the permit number.

    Tracing it will only show that it came from a mailing service. That is if you can get the PO to trace it for you, my PO would not do it. And then you would have to ask that mailing service who they mailed it for. I am pretty sure that they would not give out that information.

    So it looks like to me that we will never know for sure who had them mailed.

    I suspect that either the NRA had them mailed or bonehead had them mailed with their permission.

    Yes, the Post Office will protect junk mail at all costs. It's about their only profit maker.

    That's not "junk mail". It's first class mail. Whomever mailed it paid dearly to do so.

    Also there's not such thing as "junk mail". It might be mail you don't want, but someone paid to have it printed and mailed.
