Don’t make sense moving to Texas. Texas is the new California/New York. In one or two more elections Texas will be the next democratic stronghold.

How can you declare bankruptcy and be in “the strongest financial position in years”? How many years were they insolvent that this is the strongest they have been?

Although I still support the NRA as our biggest dog in our fight, I am sorry to say they are run just like our government.

Yep. Donate what you used to give to the NRA to GOA.
The problem with this is GOA is basically a Chihuahua and we need a wolf pack. Besides, isn't GOA basically a family business with the son taking over from the founder? How is that different from WLP? No mansions, expensive cars, or super luxurious European vacations, on donation funds. All the money goes to defending our gun rights. How much influence is the GOA going to peddle with that 4 million they have in their war chest??? For comparison the NRA took in 100 times that amount annually. Bloomberg can out spend the GOA with what he carries around in his pocket. Like it or not, the NRA is the only organization who has the finanical muscle to peddle influence in DC. Unfortunately this is true. We need to “fix” the NRA. That would start with a new board that hold themselves and the Exec VP accountable. I received a request for money from the NRA this past week. I wrote on it, “not until Wayne is gone”, and mailed it back in the postage paid envelope. I’m a an NRA Patron and won’t give any more, till it’s fixed.

They can reincorporate in Texas and still headquarter in NoVa. If WLP cared about the 2nd he’d step aside and save the organization.

Yes send the NRA money, cut your own throats . Not only was the legislation unanimously upheld by the Supreme Courtin 1939, but Karl T. Frederick, the president of the NRA, testified before Congress stating, “I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I do not believe in the general promiscuous toting of guns. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses.”
For the next 30 years, the NRA continued to support gun control. By the late 1960s a shift in the NRA platform was on the horizon.
On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. He shot the president with an Italian military surplus rifle purchased from a NRA mail-order advertisement. NRA Executive Vice-President Franklin Orth agreed at a congressional hearing that mail-order sales should be banned stating, “We do think that any sane American, who calls himself an American, can object to placing into this bill the instrument which killed the president of the United States.” The NRA also supported California’s Mulford Act of 1967, which had banned carrying loaded weapons in public in response to the Black Panther Party’s impromptu march on the State Capitol to protest gun control legislation on May 2, 1967.
The summer riots of 1967 and assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 prompted Congress to reenact a version of the FDR-era gun control laws as the Gun Control Act of 1968. The act updated the law to include minimum age and serial number requirements, and extended the gun ban to include the mentally ill and drug addicts. In addition, it restricted the shipping of guns across state lines to collectors and federally licensed dealers and certain types of bullets could only be purchased with a show of ID. The NRA, however, blocked the most stringent part of the legislation, which mandated a national registry of all guns and a license for all gun carriers. In an interview in American Rifleman, Franklin Orth stated that despite portions of the law appearing “unduly restrictive, the measure as a whole appears to be one that the sportsmen of America can live with.” " Sportsmen of America" tell us Mr. Orth just exactly what does the 2nd Amendment have to do with sportsmen? https://time.com/4431356/nra-gun-control-history/

I think they are doomed to eventually go under no matter where they are.

We have gotten where we are through the extensive use of compromise. That needs to come to an immediate halt - if the Dems can get away with no compromise, why should we?

Sadly, Wayne isn't the problem, he's the symptom. The governance structure of the NRA is guaranteed to produce cronyism. Until that changes, it's all just window dressing.
