Wishful thinking, Fred. I am a member and I am not shy to express opinions and I can tell you that it has no effect nor will it ever!

Do you believe that joining the Conservative Party you will have an influence on anything? Well, joining the NRA is just as effective in getting things changed.
However, "whinging" and sniping from the touchline can be effective. If your suggestion is constructive and good for the NRA, NRA will hear you whether you are a member or not.
They are running a business! Thing may change now that the NRA is generating substantial profits from Bisley and we shall have to wait and see if any of that money will be applied to promoting shooting away from Bisley. My guess is that it might be, so we live in hope.
