That voice is being heard and I feel the same frustration that it is not being heeded.
Joining is an individual decision. I will not attempt to persuade anyone NOT to join because of things I cannot control.
There is always room for improvement. I don't think any organization has been without fault or had its need for change at times.
And it is a desperate time for such, I freely admit. I'm pushing for the wheels of change to roll in a correct direction.
Yep, sickens me the past selfish disregard for the organization by the previous leadership.
I can only relate what I have benefited from over my years of membership, and I do attempt to pass along something good from it.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

gt, Good points. Read how the Nazi's chipped away, one thing/group at a time, until they had the whole populating under their control. They divided and conquered. Does that ring a bell...? If the Jewish people had not been so passive and trusting, but had turned into hard core, gun toting street fighters, things may have been different. At least they would have gone down at great expense to the regime, not herded like cattle into gas chambers. Now, to those who don't seem to learn from history...  DF Warsaw - but they still lost, betrayed by the Russians in part, under manned and under weaponed for the rest.

Who knows?
I simply refuse to throw out an entire organization, made up of good folks like you and me due to leadership issues.
You don't scuttle a ship because the current captain cannot be trusted to sail it. If you are going to sail the ship of reform you first have to put together an honest crew. Wayne's crew is still on the ship.

The NRA ship is going down and other ships have pulled along side to rescue everyone except the pirates. I remain, a disappointed life member and from now on no matter what the NRA gets not a nickel more from me.

I highly doubt they would like the budget or expense account boundaries I would set. I admit, I have never operated inside the beltway.

You know it was very important to have NRA outreach trips to Europe, and to India and to Africa and the Caribbean resorts. And private jet rides for security, even for family and their hair dressers.

NRA needs to clean its house and show some accountability with member's funds. They remind me of Union's with bosses getting most of the benefits.

Broke dicks will always find a reason to keep moving the goal posts. lol Look Dude....I was a Life Member in 1955, shot High Powder Rifle Competition for fifty years and dealt with the NRA Competition Division all during that time; over-looking error after error on their part but I continued to support them all during those years. But ever since Pierre has been the head of the organization I can no longer overlook the outright corruption that little Dewayne has done; all apparently OK with the board members good graces! As a consequence of all of this as far as I'm concerned I've already stated....FUGG 'EM!!

They may or may not get things corrected, but in the mean time, they're lucky to have John-burns level ambassadors out trying to win back their supporters.

I've been following the trial and some of the testimony, the place is a chit show. The forensic accountant's report is particularly damning. It's telling that they only started to make "some" changes after the the 2020 complaint was filed.

I'd better hurry and get right on this. Wayne's probably needing a pension check. I'm glad you woke my broke dik up.
