So what do you think he said?
Chris Z:
Yes the NRA has required Eastern Nebraska Gun Club into extorting all club members into a NRA membership in order to provide NRA insurance for a discounted rate to the range.
NFOA was launched officially right after I personally sat in the public hearing for Ashfords AWB bill and the NRA stood up and testified in the NEUTRAL capacity on it. I was completely blown away.
The NRA has done many good things nationally, but yes they have not been present representing their membership here in Nebraska

That is a fair assessment. The NRA has a done a lot of good things and stopped a lot of bad things from happening....but has failed many, many times as well. It is a 'big-tent' organization and makes some decisions based on political calculations rather then holding a zero compromise policy. I have (and will continue to) support the NRA- but understand it's limitations and short-comings.....kind of like my wife does with me.
Also, thanks to all of you who founded and maintain the NFOA.

Another negative aspect with the NRA is the fact that pretty much any large organization tends to lose the focus upon which it was established, and instead, focuses on maintaining and/or expanding the organization itself. There are many people employed by the NRA and other large organizations. After awhile, job security tends to factor in whether anyone admits to it or not.

Exactly. The institution itself becomes the Raison d'être.
Kendahl:
It's not unusual for organizations with group liability policies to require membership if you want the insurance. Just two examples are the American Quarter Horse Association and the Sports Car Club of America.
