This summer, The Trace is talking to current and former NRA members in an attempt to better understand where their personal views are in lockstep with the gun-rights goliath — and where they aren’t. We want to know what the group’s battles look like from the inside, and how belonging to the NRA may affect perspectives toward the issues it takes on.
If you are a current or former NRA member and would like to share your views, please email us at info@thetrace.org.
Up first is Anshel Sag, a 27-year-old tech industry analyst who was an NRA member for two years before quitting the group. He lives in San Diego. |

| I notice this story is posted "as told to" This would not be the first time a reporter cherry picked comments to support their agenda. As for quitting, It appears Sag may have been brainwashed by one of the many Liberal Colleges in the Socialist Republic of Kalifornia. and he does not understand what is at stake or he does not really care. I suggest he remain a member and become educated and active. I would pay to renew his membership in order for him to do so, as I believe he is misguided in his beliefs and/or misquoted in his comments! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
