Even the best families have their fights

Political Action
I've always assumed that
readers of this blog are probably NRA members; I'm sure more than a
few are GOA or JPFO members, as well. Like many of you, I've
belonged to the NRA for some time, and appreciate the work that
they do.
That doesn't mean, however, that I'm in lock-step with the NRA, nor do I believe that supporting them means that I should turn off my brain. I criticize them when they need to be criticized, because if that didn't happen they would morph into an organization that none of us could support.
When they've caved on important issues or made odd political endorsements, I've been critical. I think that is part and parcel of responsible membership.
Say Uncle has a good post on this topic. I agree with him.
