Every time they call me I tell them I won't donate another cent until Wayne gets the boot. So far, they've not accommodated.

I love the .300WM analogy. That’s awesome, of course my shoulder could not handle the .300WM and my NRA facts may not be enough to sway your opinion. We may have to agree to disagree.
When Supreme Court Justice Scalia ( strong 2nd Amendment supporter) died, President Obama picked Merrick Garland to replace Scalia on the court and the NRA was united with a host of other conservative groups that enabled the Senate to postpone confirmation until after the election. NRA money and lobbying and their size matters at times like that.
Currently The NRA is again suing the city of San Francisco, this time for officially deeming the NRA to be a “domestic terrorist organization” and for attacking the First Amendment-protected right to freely associate.
The NRA supported and lobbied for the “STOP School Violence Act of 2018,” signed into law by the Trumpster
Trump signed the NRA-backed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report for Fiscal Year 2018 into law. This law includes a provision that directs the Secretary of Army to transfer surplus 1911 .45 ACP pistols to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP)
In the 2016 presidential election, the NRA spent more than $60 million in support of Trump. Size and money unfortunately matters
The NRA donated to 233 Republicans for Congress and 9 Democrats These dollars help encourage our candidates to support pro-gun issues.
The NRA has continued to lobby for a “ National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity” laws.

, points that make me pause and consider my opinion. But I do believe we need a large strong National Gun rights organization to lobby for us and to support court cases. The NRA has supported some loosing cases lately, but at least they are working to support our views. I don’t think any other organization has the muscle or the money to support our causes. We need to reform the NRA not celebrate the liberal attempts to destroy it, which is my only real point here. I instinctually bristled with a little anger when some other posters celebrated and cheered New York on for attacking the NRA. That is a lose lose viewpoint.
Anyway we can agree to disagree, but we can agree on one thing right? Go Tigers! War Eagle! Oh snap, now I’ve gone and done it.

I’m soooo sad
How bristling with a little anger at the ****ing fraud, abuse, waste, nepotism, favoritism, and outrageous compensation packages of the senior execs? Thousands of good, decent, hard working men and women toil every year to further the enjoyment of the Second Amendment rights of Americans and many of them were (and some still are) loyal supporters of the NRA. LaPierre and his ilk are pissing into those folks' open mouths when they avoid answering questions about what the ever loving **** is going on with the financial chicanery at the executive levels. Gotdamn LaPierre and all who support that piece of shyte, the arrogant bastard.
I mean it's not like NY hasn't put lawsuits against Gun Manufacturer's, and ran them out of NY, and every other Northeast State...
It's not like They haven't tried to sue Gun distributers before .....
NY wont Ever stop Nor will any other Democratic City, State or Government... You can blame the NRA for as much as you want. If they were fiscally more responsible would it really matter?

Sure it would. If they were fiscally more responsible and spent that money on where it was supposed to go they'd not only be more effective but they'd have an infinitely bigger war chest.
Just one nauseating example. Who is supposed to be the pinnacle of 2A dedication? NRA board members correct? I mean, volunteering THEIR time and THEIR resources to help support the cause. It's what board members of all non profits are supposed to do. So why would they allow a pedophile draft dodger to be on the board and pay him $50,000 for him to grace the convention with his appearance? Is that an effective use of the money given to them for lobbying and education? That's objective lunacy is it not?
In case there's any confusion about who the draft dodging pedophile board member is, it's the hero of the low information member, Ted Nugent.
The problem with businesses, and even with the NRA being a non-profit, they are still a business, is corruption, plain & simple. They are more concerned with getting money from everyone, gun owners, manufacturers, foreign governments, etc and the leaders have lost focus on what matters.
Its the same thing with politicians, many of them go in wanting to do the right thing but power corrupts & it gets to be where they don't care what the voters think & just kowtow to whoever has the deepest pockets. This is true on both sides & we just bend over while our rights get trampled on.
They'll use scare tactics like "give us money or they'll take your guns", or whatever they can come up with that week, while lining their pockets and laughing all the way to the bank.
