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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
