The majority of us ex members are keeping silent in public (most of the time) simply because if we say something even remotely negative it is deemed as NRA bashing which is a term I am struggling to get my head around. Since when has speaking your opinion become bashing?
So, I do not agree that the majority of negative comments are coming from non members, ex perhaps and yes that means non member however at least they have been members and are speaking from experience. The amount of negative comments I hear in private are staggering. If the NRA heard what is being said in private I am pretty sure they would change and change fast.
Odd. I attend regularly... often more than once a month, and for multiple types of disciplines too. In the few years I have been shooting there, I've not had one single cause for complaint.
I'd be interested to know what the complaints actually are, and if those issues were addressed to anyone that can do anything about them at the NRA, and if anything was done by the NRA. Would be also interested to know the demographics too.. i.e what discipline type have the majority of the complaints. I.e are the NRA ignoring a certain type of shooter over another, and if there is a running theme to the complaints.
It's not a perfect organisation by any means, and they still have a bunch of improving to do; but from what I have seen myself over the last few years it's generally going in the right direction from my perspective.
