I held my nose when I did it, but I renewed the old membership.

In a ritual as predictable as hunting season, it's another election year and people are once again gunning for the National Rifle Association. Only this time the powerful gun-rights group and bête noire of the left is taking friendly fire -- from activists on the right who are growing increasingly impatient with the NRA for taking stands at odds with the rest of the conservative movement.

"I'm beside myself," veteran conservative leader Richard Viguerie told TAS. "It's really sad. The NRA's leadership has become part of the problem in Washington." While Viguerie's tone is more in sorrow than in anger, Erick Erickson of the popular conservative blog RedState has emerged as scathing critic of the NRA, calling it "a weak little girl of an organization."

All good choices and we should give our money and numbers to all of them.

That said, we should also keep up at least the basic membership in the NRA; the anti-gun forces are scared to death of them and nobody else has those sorts of numbers.

Are they elitist fudds? Yes!

Do they make too many deals? Yes!

Are they necessary? I think so!

How about the SAF? They seem to be picking up some of the precedent setting lawsuits that the NRA doesn't/won't go after.
