    I went to undergrad with Chris Cox who was pushed out when LaPierre returned. Looks like some dirty deeds done by the NRA over the years, time to clean it up.

    Me either. It is time to clean house of those that have been raping the membership for so many years!


    Same here. They don't care about 2Nd amendment any longer only about raising as much $$$ as possible. They actually prefer a D in power because it is better for fund raising.

    It is very troubling right now. I agree with all who are saying to clean it up-- This said from a long time Life Member.

    The NRA's Gang of Four is being sued as well: Vice President Wayne LaPierre, General Counsel and Secretary John Frazer, former Chief Financial Officer Wilson "Woody" Phillips and former Chief of Staff and Executive Director of General Operations Josh Powell.

    In a separate lawsuit, the NRA Foundation is also being sued by the Washington DC attorney general, and I believe there's a Congressional investigation underway.

    I was an NRA member since 1978, but quit when Ollie North got sacked for confronting LaPierre. Sadly, I believe the NRA is so corrupt now that shutting it down is best. Then it can be restarted with new leadership and rechartered as a nonprofit in a more gun-friendly state.

    From what I understood it has something to do with the way they’re (mis)managing monies used for lobbying vs fundraising vs actual nonprofit activities like education and training. They’ve allegedly been in violation of NYS laws about nonprofit funding for at least 2 1/2 decades and they’ve been just surfing on the state’s apathy regarding their flaunting state nonprofit finance laws. Supposedly several mid level folks have been trying to get them to move elsewhere for YEARS but I guess the head shed likes working in DC/Manhattan $5k suit areas too much. So they’re atrophying tens of millions of dollars defending themselves and not so much on lobbying, training, or defending their members.

    I cut up and mailed them back my lifetime membership card in 94 when I found out they helped write and lobbied support for the 93 assault weapons ban and not a single firearm addressed had been used in a statistically significant number of crimes in the prior decade according to the UCR covering the 80s...

    That vine has needed a good pruning for quite a while to start bearing worthwhile fruit again. Maybe it’s beyond saving, and we just need to let it be uprooted so another can be planted in its place.

    I've been a life member for years and this is exactly what needs to be done

    If you’re interested this is a read of things all put in one spot detailing the sins committed by Lapierre. It’s quite lengthy.

    Holy squandering Batman. NRA has sent me three letters recently and a company called on behalf of the NRA seeking donations. My membership expires December this year. I am not renewing.

    I’ve voiced my opinion to those who call wanting money I’m embarrassed to consider that I agree more with the NRA than the Democrats. I only hesitate at letting the wolves devour them because it’s not the NRA that the Democrats are after it’s us. It’s like when the libs go after a dirtbag who’s a republican, it’s not the fact he’s a dirtbag or a republican. It’s because he ain’t a wacko Democrat.


    [FONT=&amp]First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&amp]Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&amp]Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.[/FONT]

    I doubt very seriously I will ever give the NRA another dime, but this business makes me uncomfortable at best.

    Yep. I feel the same way....The NRA is supposed to be made up of members- but the LaPierre regime threw a greedy wrench into the middle of that a long time ago. I'm still a member- but I won't give them any additional money until he gets the axe. :dunno:

    Having said that, they need to end their association with the State of NY immediately. The climate in VA isn't much better these days, either. Relocate.

    We need the NRA in the form that it has been in the past. If the left didn't still see the NRA as it's biggest obstacle standing in the way of their anti-gun agenda, it wouldn't bother going through so much effort to take them out.
