If I remember correctly, they were also funding some Democrats campaigns to keep gun control bills going. I am a member, but only because the range I belong to requires it.

Wayne LaPiere was using the NRA funds as his own. Subsidizing a lavish lifestyle. When Patriots such as Lt. Colonels Oliver North and Allen West tried to criticize it he purged them. He was also using Democrat friendly subcontractors.

All of the above.
And I am a Life member, from a long, long time ago. Didn't use to be this way. Gun clubs really should change the requirement to GOA. ETA: No, I haven't given the NRA any money in decades |

Yeah. If the NRA acted like the gorilla in the room, like the big stick that the gun-grabbers think they are, we wouldn't be having these conversations. We may have even accepted some misappropriation of funds towards suits if the NRA didn't do those things fttam listed. |

1. The NRA corporate structure has been modified over the last two decades repeatedly to reduce oversight authority of the membership at every turn while consolidating power to the executive vice president and a small executive board committee of cronies.
2. When the membership at large finally began to catch on to this and attempted to elect reform minded candidates to the board, they changed the nomination rules to make it even harder to do so. 3. The relationship between the NRA and the marketing firm Ack-Mac is at best, incapable of surviving basic accounting practice scrutiny and at worst is nothing but a way to launder membership donations into personal profit for Ack-Mac, LaPierre, and the executive committee. 4. Outside unethical practices the NRA's use of cash is questionable, and opaque. 5. With all avenues to reform blocked the memberships only method of forcing change is to withhold further funding. This will likely result in a complete collapse as the leadership thrashes about trying desperately to protect their golden goose, as evidenced by the bankruptcy filing. The collapse will negatively impact gun owners in the short term but is necessary in order for something better to take it's place. The only thing that could save the organization at this point in time is the resignations (or corruption related incarceration) of Wayne and the executive board, a rewriting of the bylaws giving oversight authority back to the membership along with requirements for transparency in how capital is spent. |

Some of the things not mentioned are that WLP spends member funds on his personal leftist lawyers to the tune of $90,000 a day.
He also donated millions of NRA dollars to his wife's charitable organization that fights for open borders and provides housing and financial assistance to illegal aliens. He, along with other prominent board members, spent NRA funds on personal business trips overseas. |

NRA, no shit, supports “common sense Gun laws”.
It’s the organization by and for FUDDs. Once they bleed the organization dry Wayne and the cronies will jump ship (they already culled the NRA of people who fought for gun rights too aggressively and “rocked the boat”). It will all end when the NRA calls for the ban of “high powered sniper rifles” as the FUDDS decide its the right thing to do. They will then join Moms Demand Action and Everytown Against Gun Violence calling for police and military ownership only. |

the nra got the idea to join with another group that offered concealed firearms liability insurance (forgot the group now) to do a deal to offer insurance. once the nra picked their brains, the nra dropped them and developed their own carry guard insurance. they then marketed it illegally in several states, resulting in the nra getting sued by many states
https://www.thetrace.org/newsletter/the-nra-ends-its-carry-guard-insurance-program/ vcdl put on a rally during lobby day last year. the event was completely ignored by the nra, until they saw how successful it was shaping up to be. the nra then pushed nationwide to come to an nra lobby day, that they scheduled before the vcdl one and bad mouthed attendance at any other rally. the nra then spun in media, how successful it was. the nra then took credit for several pieces of legislation that was dropped, as if their efforts caused that to happen, still completely ignoring vcdl and vssa and their efforts. then there is money laundering and funding of lavish lifestyles in the relationship between ackerman mcqueen, the nra media company, brewster, the nra lawyer, and wlp and cabal, and how the nra and the media company have sued each other, while brewster has been paid something like 54 million in 2 years.... |

Fuck the NRA as long as fuckhead Wayne La Douche is in charge and his asshole buddies. I’ve sponsored and paid for hundreds of life memberships here alone. Not another dime will they ever get till he is gone and a full turnaround is done. GOA/SAF type turnaround. FUCK YOU NRA. Wayne made your bed, now you get to lie in it.

If it weren't for NRA sanctioned matches I would not be a member. Even though I haven't been to one in about two years. I have hope that the NRA will return has a good voice for us but it is going to take a revolution of sorts.

They used to rank all the politicians. Amazing how the passing grades voted for gun control. And how many were Democrats.
I’m sure their educational programs have been beneficial over the years, I can’t remember anything they’ve done against gun control. Member off and on for decades. |
