But the reasons it and LaPierre are being targeted have nothing to do with alleged misdeeds, they are purely political.

Money has never been the reason the NRA was powerful. It really doesn’t have that much. A guy like Bloomberg could write a check for several years of NRA operating expenses and never miss it at all.
Does the NRA still have the video up supporting Red Flag Laws?

What if all that money that does no good were suddenly transferred to an organization that actually stands up for gun owner's rights, such as GOA?

If the NRA would stop supporting gun control and having anti-gun folks at the helm, they would get more support.


Don’t worry, GOA will get it’s turn in the barrel as soon as they are done with the NRA.
That's speculation and doesn't answer any of the three questions directed your way.

The NRA has been losing support of the "no compromise" portion of the membership for years. This latest scandal may or may not make that worse. The hardcore 2nd Amendment types I'd guess are a lot like myself...the main thing they want from the NRA is opposition to ALL gun control. The shenanigans of LaPierre and others are nothing compared to the damage done from stuff like the Red Flag video.

So y'all can whine all you want, but smart and serious gun owners give money to organizations that oppose gun control, not support or even advocate it.
