It is hypocritical at this point for anyone who opposes the unions ability to collect dues from paychecks but defend the NRA's ability to force people to join the NRA.
I think that you have that a little twisted, was it not the local gun club that was making NRA membership mandatory? The answer seems simple to me, find another gun club, I imagine that they all don't require NRA membership.
I still can't make the connection that makes it hypocritical because the NRA doesn't take membership dues to push other social issues as the unions do.
The first sentence holds water pretty good though, most organizations I believe are true to their cause at the membership level. They only become corrupt to their cause at the management level....
