I get aggravated with The Donald from time to time. He's not the smoothest, not perfect.

BUT, he sure beats the H___ out of RINO's and Dems...

He's a NYC street fighter and IMO, that's what we need right now to save this country and our culture.

At least he takes it to'em, locks horns, doesn't back down, doesn't "take a knee".....

Ya gotta love that about him.

So, go on nit picking and see where that gets ya...

Keep voting in democrats grin

Keep voting in corrupt [bleep], and expecting different results, you senile old fool. Keep expecting government to somehow protect you from government, you idiot. One thing that the left understands is the people like you are utterly detached from reality. What they lack in understanding is that they are as well, by design.

Maybe I missed something, but don't we want a pro gun government? Isn't that why the NRA lobby is so important? grin grin grin grin


You girls sure are confused.

Not even. Nothing has an attention span as short as the his.

The NRA is toast until Wayne is gone - and a lot of his facilitators as well. I do not think this happens in time to maintain the NRA as a major force and it will continue to slide back into the dusty corners of irrelevancy even after Wayne has been fired, retired, or expired (whichever comes first).

Its frustrating when you feel the organization has the same trappings as other lobbyists - big money in play, constant drive for money from the donors and then the leaders spend it on themselves.

That said....


Lets say LaPierre's salary was $3m a year and he bought his own expensive suits and paid for his own travel junkets.(meaning he came out ahead to the tune of $500K)

Would that make a difference to the masses? We'd never hear about any of this, and if people aren't really balking at him pulling in $2m, who would at 3?

You both are right. And wrong.

We're not really given much of a choice. George Wallace said it best, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties."

They both signal this way or that way on issues of little consequence(1). But in the end, the politicians we see are the circus clowns of the ruling class show. The real power stays out of the spotlight.
.
.
(1) And RKBA is considered of little consequence. The ruling class thinks they can intimidate, bully, or slaughter gun owners when it comes down to brass tacks. Heck, some think using nukes on recalcitrant gun owners is legit.

WLP has been there as long as I've been a member (now Patriot, I think) and that's 1995 or so, maybe 93 for me. But he's invisible now. He's never on the tube, never on the road, never in the news, so why does he need fancy suits? How is he worth two million a year? And I'm sick and tired of the lack of transparency in how NRA does anything? When was the last time you met a board member? One of 76? Again, I've been a member for around 25 years and never, not once met or even seen one, except Charlton Heston in Montana one time. And I saw Bob Barr in Denver at the aborted convention in 1999. Saw, not talked.

The whale in this scenario, is the dwindling NRA coffers, evidently in a death spiral, bled for so many years by WLP and his cronies. All this while we were continually coerced into giving just a little bit more.

Well, as an Endowment member, I'm done until they clean house. I don't even round up at MidwayUSA any longer, just check the "no thank you" box and move on.

Whereis the board of the NRA?
I have to believe that there is more than enough unhappiness in the rank and file to make a change with Wayne. But nothing happens.
Wayne is no longer the problem, those that don’t replace him are the problem.

Ditto on MidwayUSA roundup, I don’t give a penny there, either.

That's a lie and you should be ashamed to post it.

Exactly. And most unfortunately.

Or maybe Slim Pickens style, as in Dr Strangelove, although Slim had the attitude of a true patriot. The success of the Mission was his priority.
I don't see WLP in that picture.

My memory is getting older than I thought. Chill Wills was the Rider of The Bomb.

Some of you people seem to be gleeful at the prospect of the NRA going down. That's pretty dumb.

I hate to have to tell ya, but if NRA goes down, YOU go down. GOA is nice but they just don't have the chops. And how do you know what THEY spend on the boss's bennies?

In 2016 Ohio was a swing state, having gone for Obama in 2012. The NRA ran more ads for Trump in Ohio than the Trump campaign did. In my opinion, they were also better ads. Trump carried Ohio by 8 points. Our state is at least as conservative as Texas (surprise) and we don't have a Democrat governor like Montana. A proposed red flag law never got a hearing.

And that's why you'd better not root against the NRA. Did all the Leftists desert Obama because he spent $4 million on vacations?

The geriatrics here have done their shooting, the youngins have never heard of the NRA, and the president elect doesn't need em. Its pretty much useless.

IndyCA35, I think we are not gleeful with the NRA going down. We are pissed at the
way our money has been wasted. We don’t want the NRA gone, we want it “fixed”. There a lot of money sitting on the sidelines until it is fixed.
For the life of me, I can not understand why those with the authority do not have the balls to fix it.
