NAGR spent about 4 dollars per every one dollar spent by the NRA in 2nd quarter.
"The Virginia-based National Association for Gun Rights spent more than $3 million from April through June to advocate against dozens of firearm-related bills and amendments. That’s nearly four times the second-quarter lobbying expenditures of the better-known National Rifle Association, which itself spent a near-record $840,000 during the year’s second quarter."

Just spending money doesn't make you effective.
Also, did they include all branches of the NRA? How much overhead do they have? How much does Dudley Brown make? |

NRA spends a lot of money on other projects including gun safety and youth shooting programs. The NRA is a great organization but it is no longer THE gun lobby. |

Screw NAGR. They're like Michael Savage and spend all their time bitching about their "competition".

Is this verified to be true or is Dudley just "cooking the books" so to speak to make it appear that NAGR is bigger and more powerful than it really is to draw in more members and money. I don't know anyone who is a member. |

Now you accuse me of being someone I have never even met. What do you expect me to think? |

When NAGR first came around nearly every press release and article on their site was some version of "The NRA sucks and we get things done so give us your money!".
Any business that spends their time bad mouthing the competition won't get jack from me. 2AF, JPFO and others talk about what THEY are doing and come at the issue from different angles without trash talking what should be their allies. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Does he have a private jet? Does he drive a million dollar car? If this is truly a scam I'm sure he is committing a few felonies given that he is now working with a membership base in the millions and with tens of millions of dollars. |

He's violated numerous Federal Laws concerning donations such as pandering for donations under false pretenses. Anyone that supports him cannot have an IQ over room temperature. The guy is a flake and a fake. He knows it, everyone knows it. |

I just think it is quite a coincidence that you are reacting the same way he did. Hint: he reacted poorly. But I'm glad you fessed up to the part in red. I think that pretty much sums up what you're trying to do in this thread. If you fall for Dudley's scam, which it looks as if you have, I guess that is your business. Maybe it is your business. Maybe you are affiliated with them, I don't know and I don't care. But a critical thinker would not read the other thread and get a warm fuzzy feeling about Dudley. He dodged very reasonable, albeit pointed questions. When people start dodging like that, I think it ruins their credibility. You want to spend your hard earned money supporting an organization like that? Knock yourself out. Dudley will never get a dime from me of any of my gun owning friends if I have anything to do with it. |

In 2010, the NRA-ILA said:
"We have looked into NAGR and found that they are not registered as federal lobbyists with the U.S. Congress, nor are they registered as lobbyists in the state of Virginia, where they are located. We are unaware of any lobbying efforts on the part of NAGR to work directly with legislators to influence legislation either in the states or at the federal level." I bet Dudley Brown gets a handsome salary and expenses, though. And that NAGR is counting his salary and expenses as "lobbying effort." NAGR's donations in 2010: http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C70005277&cycle=2010 That's right, zero. Bupkiss. How about 2012, you say? http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000062593 CONTRIBUTIONS $90,000 (ranks 3,371 of 20,981) LOBBYING $0 (2012) $0 (2011) OUTSIDE SPENDING $0 In comparison, the NRA-ILA spending is here: http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C90013301&cycle=2012 The NRA-ILA spent about $7.5M on federal elections alone. The NRA PAC spent more. |
