Not happy about this, but am glad to see more folks digging into form 990s. Some of these "non-profit" organizations are doing a lot of shady shit.

Think how many gun freedoms were gonna have once these guys get the NRA burned to the ground! Its gonna be awesomely awesome awesomeness and freedom!
I mean that Larry guy down at GOA is pretty mad and stuff. Shit, ya know? Its like during the 2016 primaries when we had a candidate who called the other candidates Turdly McStinkbreath? I knew that guy was a statesman, so why not pin all our gun freedom hopes on Angry Larry? Shit, he's been around for 40 years and never won a fight but he says he mad, yo. |

My guess is he seeks donations and keeps a percentage as a commission. Or he can be providing consulting services which pay $75 to $250+/hr on average depending on the organization size.

a life member of the NRA , and will remain so.
The NRA has done some great things, including getting behind Trump before anyone else.( Gorsich, Kavanaugh, done) But not enough, and not lately. It is past time for a major housecleaning. LaPierre needs to be shown the door, along with his cronies. New blood is needed. Join, become a voting member, recruit like minded people, vote, and fill the board with Supermoose, Nolo and those like them. Revolution is best done from within. Let’s take our NRA BACK. |

Let them, more people will quit throwing money down the drain to "support the site." I quit paying after a face to face conversation I had with a certain person in a position to know with the ar15.com company I will not name a few months after sandy hook. After a couple of the yankee AWB's passed there were people being banned and posts removed from the EE so the soon to be ban state FFL buddies of certain members of leadership could buy preban goodies for later resale without competition from lowly peasants in those same ban states. Then we had them lining up to gaslight and defend Steve Troy and his hiring practices. That was the final straw for me. |

Man that sucks next you're gonna tell me that a lot of that money donated to goodwill just lines the pockets of executives.
Its a known known. Which sucks. Non profits are a great way to get money. My sister in law just started one and it seems like it would be extremely easy to make money off it if that's your intention. |

All we have is a vote. We need someone to help expose who to vote out. What we need is to keep digging, find where the line is crossed (from just being unsavory to being illegal money laundering, embezzlement, or violations of not for profit rules and regs), and let zealous prosecutors take down Wayne LaPierre and the rest of the executive leadership. The only way to win is to take out the leadership and starve the organization of new funds until a new leadership is put in place. |
