Good point Todd, that is, of course, the reality. It would just be easier to get on board with a group like the NRA if they actually believed in themselves, and stood for something beyond the point of it becoming inconvenient or unprofitable. Where's the guy that said "give me liberty or give me death" ? I'd prefer a modern age founding father type, to go after fiscal issues and foriegn policy issues before worrying about my right to have a firearm...but I couldn't imagine him letting it slip through the cracks.
