Fear

Much ink, airtime and social media space is being spent calling out Trump for being 'scared of the NRA'.

Trump, Schumer, Pelosi, et al, SHOULD be scared of the NRA.

Not because it's some major source of political donations - Bloomberg spends more on anti-gun candidates every year than NRA has in the last couple of DECADES - but because NRA is a REAL grassroots organization with motivated members, not an astroturf facade for someone with money and an agenda (Bloomberg, Soros).

NRA is not Dana Loesch or Wayne LaPierre or 'the gun industry'...NRA is approximately 5 million American voters generally educated about an issue and motivated to vote accordingly.

NRA and the other 2A organizations such as SAF and GOA are comprised of a small portion of the general population of law-abiding gun owners, just like groups like ABATE are a small portion of the general population of motorcycle riders, but we all work to remind everybody that the function of our constitutional republic form of government is to protect the rights of the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

When people threaten NRA, they are threatening real people, not a faceless corporation.
