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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
