I’ve heard from various people that the SRA has a lot of problems, most prominently the lack of leadership from the national organisers, who defer virtually all branch affairs to local organisers, who are often absentees who deprive their membership of the opportunity to organise themselves. Are there any members here who’ve experienced these problems first hand, and if so, what are your thoughts on the organisation as it currently stands?
They definitely took my money for awhile, but I stopped that eventually.
Ultimately the problems I had were a lot of folks who were not legally allowed to own guns trying to get guns (like, beat their wives, had prior gun violence raps, one of them shot a guy for telling them they were going to need gas money)… Not a whole lot of activity, and at least 2 officially sanctioned orgies as the only meetups I could find for a year.
But that’s gonna be different for each group so, find a good chapter and it’s probably pretty great.
