... Some interesting comments to my post. The bottom line (and the story really has nothing to do about guns although some people with a hidden agenda will try to make it into an anti or pro-gun debate) is that no organization has the right to publicly state that all of it's members believe in anything unless they take a vote. If the NRA says that 2 million of it's members believe that everyone has the right to bear arms (or wear silly hats or whatever), then they need to poll those members. Nobody ever asked me my opinion. They assumed it. I did not much care for having someone say to me, "NRA? Oh you are one of those crazy *******s that thinks that a convicted wife-beater fresh out of prison and on meds to control his bi-polar problems needs to have an AK47." Why should I look like an idiot because a PR man at NRA HQs feels it is his responsibility to see that everyone in the world can pack a semiautomatic weapon? Now I repeat, I am a shooter. I have five pistols and 3 rifles. This is not about the weapons. It is about a national organization making comments in your name. What are your options? Very few. Leaving that group is about the only one that is of any significance. No-one, be it national organizations or individual, should make comments in your name. Anyone has the right to his/her opinion and even to state it in public, without someone else making comments in his/her name, neither directly nor indirectly. But they will do again and again, no matter how much you object. So there is only one way out: leaving the group or individual that abuses you. Mette |

Mette If an organization is hindered in making comments or in operating in the name of its members then such an organization is totally blocked, and therefore useless. Polling the members in all questions isn't efficient. For this reasons members are usually asked to adhere to an organization after having attentively read its bylaws. If the leaders of an organization operate in conformity with their statutes, then there is no abuse, but a right, and even an obligation of the leaders to behave this way. In a free country anybody who hasn't read or hasn't understood the statutes (or for any other reasons or without any reason) can resign from any organization, this being obvious for any really free country.
