The NRA supported gun control up through the 1968 act. YES! Not sure they have truly deep down inside changed much either The 1930s crime spree of the Prohibition era, which still summons images of outlaws outfitted with machine guns, prompted President Franklin Roosevelt to make gun control a feature of the New Deal. The NRA assisted Roosevelt in drafting the 1934 National Firearms Act and the 1938 Gun Control Act, the first federal gun control laws. These laws placed heavy taxes and regulation requirements on firearms that were associated with crime, such as machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers. Gun sellers and owners were required to register with the federal government and felons were banned from owning weapons. Not only was the legislation unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court in 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.”

I quit them around 2003-2004, can't remember what it was that pissed me off but that was the last straw.
As long as they've let WLP stay there I wouldn't ever give the organization another penny, tells me all I need to know about all of them.

But yet Tennessee Legislators just love the NRA..
What gets me is why the Board does not kick his hinney to the curb, they have to be complicit! I don’t remember exactly how the NRA board works but it’s something to the effect that WLP hand selects two candidates for each open board position. Those two candidates hand picked by WLP are the only two choices so whichever one wins is essentially a WLP lap dog that he chose and nominated. Given how many years WLP has been running the NRA the whole board is full of corrupt WLP selected loyalists.

Sad part for me is one of the board members is a personal friend of mine. I don’t give them any $$ and haven’t since 2000.

The board made their position abundantly clear when they fired Ollie North.
Wayne is far from the only problem……

I did not do the NRA “round up” on a Midway order the other day for the first time ever. They funneled Russian money in 2016. They won’t get any more of mine.
The CENTER will hold.

Maybe we should all head to a thrift store, pick up a nice suit or two, and route them in with the next donation request card.

Is Wayne really any more corrupt than say , Paul Ryan ? The list goes on for ever, Trump had the House , The senate and the white house yet we still have Obamacare, Mitch and his Chinese wife are not on our side, Trump was our only hope !

One thing they do that isn’t mentioned is pay huge sums to advertising companies and it looks like this travel lady and other entities . Then the money likely ends up back under the table flowing back to WLP. If the feds audited WLP. It would probably make their eyes water. It’s a massive grifting operation.
The libs who started this don’t realize they are helping in the long run., it’s been widely know WLP has been a crook for years.

My Friends of NRA field agent recently got promoted to a position where he solicits funds from big money donors. My guess is, there is a lot of this going on in an attempt to keep the organization solvent. With the rank and file member being so disgruntled, they have to be hurting for money.

Where is watch4bear on this? He always jumped in these NRA discussions. Pro NRA all the way. Been strangely quiet for months now.
I never would have thought Wayne was a registered Democrat.

I’m deeply convinced there’s a reckoning coming very soon on many fronts. It will burn far too hot to put out easily or quickly.

Maybe when it comes time to vote for the board off directors we should all right across the form in big block letters, "NONE OF THE ABOVE!" Maybe then they'll get the idea we peons want them gone.

That's quite a video. Too much power/authority in his hands and for too long.
I wonder if the NRA will survive this.

These Lefty prosecutors are doing all of us a favor if they can clean out the NRA from the top so it can get a makeover that isn't run by crooks.
