We Need Leadership to Dump the ATA - We need a leader!

We need someone to step up and create a new organization. Paging anyone.

 

Take the first step, Jim- I’ll send you the first membership check.

 

JIM, It makes more sense to take over the existing one. there is millions in the useless one. that we better keep an eye on. Roger c.

 

That dawg won't hunt. We need someone with money and someone with a vision. It might take a few guys. I have been hearing a few people that fit making some noise.

 

Coach, with a money man, it should not be to hard to swing 30 delegates. they can control the EC.
Roger C.

 

Why don’t YOU step up and start to organize it?
Not going to do it because you think there doesn’t need to be a change?
Now I know you always say,” Show me where I said that” so I’m just curious, do YOU agree with Jim?

 

Starting a new entity to replace the ata would be a monumental task unfortunately no matter how many of us would just love for that to happen. It makes more sense to try and change the ata and dump the president, worthless board members and all the delegates that have allowed the ata to become only a memory of what was once a great organization. If a new organization for trap were to be formed it would have to have some big names attached to it like Berlet, Dysinger and any other big name shooter. I think a great choice to run any new trap organization would be Don Cogan (DuckDog) as he could charm a donut out of the hands of Berlet, and we all know that is no easy task.

 

Do you remember any time where I said “show me where I said that” where someone did? Didn’t think so.

I didn’t start a post saying someone should do it, the OP did. I merely stated the OP should do it, if he really thought it was necessary or needed. I’ll support it and we’ll see where it goes.

 

This is pretty fun- why would I have to answer to you for anything?

 

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

And to the member that made the bet with me when I told you he didn’t have the balls to answer yes or no, you don’t have to send me the money. It was too easy and was a lock.
I was 100% sure he wouldn’t do it.

He was correct about one thing though. It WAS fun knowing I had a sure thing when I told you he wouldn’t do it. I wish every time I played a slot I was that sure.

 

Oh boy- if you think answering that question is the way you tell if someone has balls or not, or answering any question online and anonymously, for that matter- you must fit in well with the other blue haired ladies at the casino.

 

Yeah, I knew he wouldn’t answer the question.

And those Blue haired ladies, by the way that sounds kinda like a swipe at older people. They’ve don’t play the amounts I do so I wouldn’t fit it with them. And using the word “other” would imply I was an older female. Dumb comparison, try another.

How about this? I’m like the other THOUSANDS of people that stopped paying the ata one cent.

I’m like the THOUSANDS of ex shooters that won’t go to the White elephant in ILLnews.

I’m like the THOUSANDS of people that thinks the ata SUCKS. And that’s why we left.

Waiting for the”show me where I said anything against older people” BS response. C’mon you know you want to say it.

How about this? If Merlo put up a poll and you actually had the nerve to post your vote, probably wouldn’t, but IF you did grow a pair, how would you answer?
Does the ata need replaced?

 

Oh I don’t know- from what you said, I feel like other was the appropriate word to use, glad you noticed that. I don’t care how much you bet at the casinos, if you fit in with a group, you fit in. If you are really betting that much money and your other post is about your bigger wins, are you sure that you’re breaking even? As for the fitting in again- it’s kind of like at a gun club, whether it’s throwing registered targets, unregistered targets, pigeons, you name it- you can be the guy with an 870/1100 or with a Perazzi/Krieghoff, you’ll fit in as long as you aren’t…a jerk, we’ll say. Birds of a feather type situation, you could say.


I agree, there are many people that used to shoot, that don’t anymore. That’s a shame- the ATA is not perfect (no organization is) but it is what we have now for registered targets. If someone wants to start a new organization that’s going to be better, I’ll join- like I said in my initial post that really seemed to get under your skin.
