who used that very line to me.

No, Binky, that organization you're sending your dues to every year is not looking out for you. You exist only as a mark, somebody who can be scared beyond all reason and counted on to keep escalating your firepower in an attempt to feel safe and powerful in an unsafe world where you are powerless against all the real threats.

You want that organization to shape up and start representing the views of the membership, 70% of whom were in favor of gun control before the Sandy Hook massacre, it's time to cut the bastards off. Don't send in those renewal dues. Force a change in leadership from the rank and file instead of a bunch of lobbyists proposed by the gun industry.

Kick them in the wallet until they remember who they're supposed to be representing. And kick them again if they ever start to forget.
