Raise awareness to say the least. Lobby against such bills before they become law. Send out mailers, etc...

Are you a member, if so do you feel youre getting your money's worth?

The opportunity to hurt Cuomo was during the Democrat primary. He spent more than $30 million trying to put Nixon down. A GOTV effort for Nixon just to stick it to Cuomo for his SAFE Act might not have knocked him out, but it could have forced him to spent millions more defending himself and made him look weak and stupid to national Democrats. Nobody did a thing.

It is not their fault Cuomo was re-elected. However criticizing them for doing nothing is legitimate. It required no money, no effort and there was no downside to simply e-mailing out an alert to support Nixon in the primary to hurt Cuomo. It would have received plenty of media attention as well.

How is it the NRA's fault? If I was the NRA, I would declare NYS a lost cause and focus where I could make a difference.

how do you know a fight is worth winning if you don't fight?
Fighting for your Rights is hard. If they wanted an easy fight they are in the wrong business.

somewhere in America
as I have said many times, Im voting with my feet. This state, and pretty much the entire North east, is lost to the progressives/liberals.

They are now so entrenched, there is no digging them out.

The citizens of NY have reached the point of "apathy", people simply don't care anymore. We are going from complacency to apathy

From the Eight stages of Democracy


As the government continued to grow, so did it’s hold on the mind of the American people.

From Complacency to Apathy

Apathy- lack of interest or concern; indifference

Now, we believe we can not fail. We pushed the Nazi’s back and crushed Russia, what could go wrong? The age of drugs spread through America and people stopped caring. It was better to protest than to put yourself into a position to run for office. It was better to make love than resist the up and coming war in our own backyard, the ever growing size of government.

Then, one morning we awoke and realized Government played a role in every aspect of our life. We pay taxes from the moment we get up in the morning to the moment we go to sleep at night. They can tell your teenage daughter it’s O.K. to get an abortion without telling a parent. They can even take away your land and cite “eminent domain”.

And we threw our hands up and said “F it”. It’s nothing we can do, the government runs everything. And we stopped listening, we stopped paying attention, and we stopped holding politicians accountable for their actions. We allowed ourselves to be scared of the Government instead of making the Government scared of us.

This is were it gets really scary.

from here, we go from Apathy to Dependence <-------- WE ARE HERE

From Apathy to Dependence

This is were we are right now. We were so indifferent and complacent, the first person to come along and promise us the pot at the end of the rainbow, we jumped. This once God loving nation is starting to worship the Government instead.

The same God that gave our forefather’s the strength and courage to fight is being contested at every turn. God teaches us to rely on him and then on ourselves and the Government doesn’t like that. The now enormous Government, needs to keep feeding itself and it needs your complacency to do it.

They need you to not care they are taking over private industry. They need you to look away while the let the printing press run. They need you to worry about Nancy Pelosi, while the Federal Reserve consolidates power. And there’s only one way that could happen, if you are dependent upon them.

If you can’t keep your house without the Government, then you don’t care how they do it. If you can’t eat without the Government, you don’t care where your food comes from. If you can’t see a doctor without the Government, you don’t care how much it will cost future generations.

We have become the nation of ME, Myself, and I and then anyone else that’s poor. They got us right were they want us, completely dependent on the Government to make the economy work, to solve our individual financial woes, and to just give us that tingly feeling.

The next step, is DEPENDENCE to BONDAGE <----- its a very short leap to this stage

You think the NRA should have stuck it to Cuomo by supporting Cynthia Nixon? That is utterly ridiculous. Pay for ads in one of the most expensive media markets in the country to support a blatantly anti-gun candidate? That would be a complete waste of time, talent, and money. And for what? Just to spite Cuomo?

That money could and should be used on races that we can win. No amount of effort is going to save the NY state government.

The only thing that can help us here in NY is a pro-freedom Supreme Court. And thanks in large part to the NRA, we have a court that is taking a NY gun case, a president that is appointing pro-2A justices, and a senate that is confirming them.

You think the NRA is to get a lot of credit for the case going in front of the court?

Drink more NRA Kool aid!

Who said anything about Cynthia Nixon. NRA has plenty of members from New York that they should be doing something for, but they arent.... unless it has to do with them selling insurance.

So NYer's should continue to send their money to fight gun grabbers in other places because those folks in other states don't have the balls and won't spend the money to do it themselves?
Where do I sign up?

Ok, so what do you want them to do? You keep saying they should do something, but what?

I get mailers, I get emails, I get legislative alerts with messages to call my legislators. What else can they do?

I have no idea. I'm not a lobbyist. It's not my day job. It's THEIR job and if they can't do something to stem the tide in NY, then leave.
Fold up shop in NY and stop taking NYer's money to funnel elsewhere.

More lawsuits, more effort to motivate the fudds that dont care about other gun owners. You keep asking what they should do, why don't you tell me what they are doing. What are they doing for New Yorkers specifically?

The NRA should have been rallying members to go vote for the senate and house elections more than governor's race. Then maybe we wouldn't have infanticide and new guns laws.
