If you were to compare for example the pathetic disjointed and ineffective groups in Australia you would see my point . Australian firearms owners have some of the most stringent and unneccessary laws Re firearms ownership,if a criminal commits an atrocity with a firearm,the legal and registered shooter is punished with new ridiculously severe laws. Former Prime Minister Howards wife had an aversion to Handguns so he was badgered into making draconian laws to keep her happy,not any of the firearms groups could get together and fight the laws as thay were arguing like children as to who was boss. So I suggest that you have in The NRA the best Model in the free world and should be thankful.As for fund raising the services and goods offered to members are excellent.
