Like, I wouldn't call the NRA local and I'm a (begrudging) NRA member because this firing range/club I'm in requires NRA membership because of its insurance.
You can imagine my joy at seeing they sent a notice about the upcoming annual meeting where the big ballot issue would be whether to ditch the NRA membership requirement.
Regardless of the reason they put that on the agenda, I got an email yesterday addressing all the "comments" on that issue and they said the reason it was on there was purely because the club had no way to actually verify NRA membership and a bunch of people were apparently lying about being in or giving out of date memberships and that they still "vehemently" opposed gun grabbers and supported guns.
It's a club full of boomers of course.
All that to say if we're talking "local", NRA's the only game in town for a lot of places. That's all anyone knows and anything else? Never heard of it. NRA's fighting the libs! NRA's defending our rights! 2nd Amendment Foundation? What's that? They ain't the NRA so they ain't gonna do shit!
Middle America has no fucking idea what's going on.
Define local.

For me, local means Czech. We're a small country. The local gun rights lobby is called GunLEX and they're absolutely relentless.
