there are many things I like about the club. Lots of good people and a nice place not far from home. They do a lot of things right. I try to stay out of the politics and while I have no other choice around here to shoot, I suspect I would not totally agree with everything done somewhere else.

Shutting up when your opinion doesn't matter is an under-appreciated skill.
In some groups, ones amongst whom I've shot, the expression of positions isn't about ideas. It may be about group identity or asserting social position within the group. This doesn't make them bad people, but it may mean that they don't enjoy examining ideas dispassionately.
If you think that these people aren't able to weigh the matters you would have them consider, but you generally enjoy their company, there may be very little real point in arguing the matter.
