It’s just too bad the NRA can’t extract *monthly dues* from the membership – like the Teacher’s Union does to fund political causes, campaigns, and pork. ;-)

If they have 6 million NRA members behind them as opposed to 3 or 4 million, their ability to twist a politician's arm is that much greater. The study Dave Kopel did showed NRA can influence a 3% swing per 10,000 members in a given district. That' 5% for challengers. So for a district with 20,000 NRA members, that's a 10% swing. That is a substantial threat to any politician's seat. See previous posts about membership being the source of NRA’s political power.

You can scream at the top of your lungs and flail about, but if the person you're talking to is deaf and looking away it does nothing. No voice was increased or decreased.

So kudos to everyone! I also think it’s important to note that even though Dustin boosted the number to a crazy high, he was still responsible for less than half of the total. So kudos to everyone!
