Dingell, NRA Board member, votes for '94 AWB.
He also received the NRA's Harlon B. Carter award after doing so.
Larry Craig pushes to extend NICS, then he gets the award.

As many others have said, look at what the ACLU has accomplished by never compromising on the First amendment? If 2nd Amendment supporters were throwing their money into a group like the ACLU, we would be much better off, even iff everyone was annoyed by them at times. I will come up with more as the day progresses.

NRA gets about 200,000,000 dollars a year. I just do not think we are getting much bang for our buck.
Apparently senate seats only cost a couple hundred thousand.

Only money contributed to the NRA-ILA or NRA-PVF. Of course, you could just donate to the Second Amendment Foundation I was feeling pretty good, then I looked around and realized I am not swimming or on fire.
