A great many gun owners are not pro-2A. They are pro firearms ownership with strict limits and regulations. A huge number of people the county sportsmans club were very supportive of making a firearms license that would be cost prohibitive for many when it came up in conversation. Several hundred dollars at least. I've run into many VERY serious clays shooters who were with uncle Joe. Why would they join the NRA or any other 2A organization?
There have been years I contributed several hundred dollars to pro-2A groups or supporting politicians who sponsored bills I was interested in. I've never payed for an NRA membership and probably never will.
The idea that every gun owner owes it to the country to join the NRA is absurd.
