That reminds me, is NRA membership still required for the TSRA?And the NRA will not get another cent from me until LaPierre is gone.

Lol what? Have you been paying any attention to them?I've been a TSRA member for very many years. Really impressed with the organization. They just purchased a bldg outside of Bastrop. Those are dues well spent. Solid lobbying effort as well IMO.
Yes, I have been paying attention to the TSRA. Why do you ask in a snide manner?Lol what? Have you been paying any attention to them?
I haven't had to provide any information regarding my NRA membership to the TSRA.That reminds me, is NRA membership still required for the TSRA?
I understand that the TSRA and the NRA are closely aligned. It's my understanding, though, that The TSRA is supported financially by it's 34,000 members. Please advise how it's owned by the NRA.I did not know that a NRA membership was required to join the TSRA. But it would not surprise me since the TSRA is owned by the NRA.

Do you not remember them doing things like fighting open carry and constitutional carry and siding with Bonnen and Nevarez against McNutt and Stickland?Yes, I have been paying attention to the TSRA. Why do you ask in a snide manner?
It was DOA BECAUSE of y'all... so stop the revisionist history yourselves. I had friends who were grass-roots driving to Austin to testify and personally lobby. Why didn't your people co-sponsor Stickland's bill?Someone likes to rewrite history, it seems - since we strongly supported OC, and managed to get a bill sponsored in BOTH chambers - which, unfortunately, Strickland was unable to do. Frankly, we'd have been happy w/either bill, but without support in the Senate, Strickland's bill was DOA. We have been supporting UNLICENSED carry for a while, now - but trying to get the support of the senate has been a challenge. We'll continue those efforts, despite what others might say.
Bonnen apparently made a strong story up (I think most of us remember it), which was proved out to be untrue by the body cams of the Troopers that day. Like it or not, the name of the game in Austin is politics - and until such a time as the VOTERS (yeah - YOU and I) send pro-2nd representatives to Austin, it's going to be an uphill battle.

Because the verbiage in it was flawed. There's also the matter of Strickland having gotten cross-wise with Bonnen, who made NO bones about it never making it to the floor. What EVERYONE needs to realize is that there's a game played every session, and it'll continue to be played until we get REAL conservative, Pro-2nd legislators in Austin.
We can sit around and beat on each other - or finally realize that the REAL problem is sitting in those house chambers. But as long as they can keep us fighting amongst ourselves, they come out clean.
Not likely.I'm wondering if even Ben would raise an eyebrow
