Nice lady on the other end on the line.
She has the regular scare tactics about Polosi and Schumer. Not that it wasn't true. I just do not feel like giving money to Wayne LaPaire. I have no faith in the NRA anymore.
Within driving distance there are 5 fish and game or gun clubs, all are public and open to almost anyone. But I do not recall any one of them getting any support of any kind from the NRA.
All the clubs encourage membership. This is the base of the NRA,, but we get a p iss poor return on our investment.
That is how this will end.

They’ve dug their own grave and we members allowed it to happen.

GOA is the real deal.

NAGR is just Dudley Brown's NRA knockoff money tree. I wouldn't give them a red cent.

Life member, wish I could get a refund. All just organizations to collect gun owner intel.

The other pro gun organizations are not a pimple on the ass of the NRA, money and clout wise.
But the NRA has internal corruption, that needs to get fixed before I give them a dime.
I received a mailing from them recently, asking for money. I wrote on the document “not until Wayne is gone.” And I put it in the postage paid envelope and sent it back.
I’m an NRA patron and have given beyond membership up grades.
In my view, the NRA needs to get fixed, as opposed to creating other similar organizations.

The club range where I shoot had the clubhouse burn down. The NRA helped finance a new and very nice clubhouse. This was just in the last two years so some clubs have gotten help when needed. Maybe it depends on the need.

Right. The NRA clearly has become a self-dealing non-profit model that needs a sincere house cleaning. But, in fairness, they HAVE helped finance various range projects, such as recently funding the indoor youth league range facility in this area. Imagine the good they could do with the money they’ve blown, however.

I wonder about that, our club is 4 years old. It's only 200 members and we built everything our selves through fund raising and donations.
This region and small population are historically under served by every other organization . I don't wonder why the NRA would be any different.
That aside, no more money, no more memberships, no more NRA targets or materials. We are going to do witthout, there are enough other souraes.

Like the money that finance's Wayne's suits, 5 star hotel rooms etc. all the while, not being able to make a single pro-gun point against the most dumbass, liberal, gun haters in a debate?

That Wayne?

That's pretty much what I told the NRA the last time they called.

Until that prick is gone, I will not contribute.

Wayne will have to refinance his mansions before I'll donate to the NRA. When he and his thieving cronies are gone, I'll jump back in.

You're probably doing the right thing as far as NRA and contributions go...I'm doing the same (Life Member here). But I think you are waaaaay underestimating GOA. They aren't the biggest dog in the neighborhood, but they make NRA look like a lazy, overfed Bassetthound laying under the porch on a South Texas August afternoon.
