For all the NRA haters that claimed they wouldn’t support the NRA until LaPierre was gone, I spoke to Philip Schreier today, a NRA museum director in Fairfax, Virginia. He was accompanied by Garry James, who many of you should know from his years writing for Guns and Ammo and The American Riflemen. Garry is now in Virginia working for the NRA.
I asked Phil what he thought about Wayne LaPierre and he didn’t seem interested in discussing the situation. When he realized that I knew Garry and we talked about guns and his friendship with Mike Venturino, Phil became more engaged. He told me that it will be settled in court and within 6 months there should be something different in the future of the NRA…
LaPierre is gone, all you dissatisfied members that said you weren’t supporting the NRA until LaPierre was gon, well now he is, time to quit bitching and get behind the NRA… Until the crooks that were in on the heist are gone as well, and new leadership is established, my views won't change. It took more than just Wayne to steal tens of millions. Yep. WLP had to have a structure around him to support the grift. I don't hate the NRA, but disgust and distrust are good places to start describing how I feel about the organization.

The board members who sent him off with 17 MILLION DOLLARS of the members money are still there and still in power----- and doing things against the rank and file members as they have so many times in the past..
But the NRA board wants everyone to "just forget it all" and "let bygones be bygones"
(even though the abuse is NOT gone)
The 2nd Amendment Foundation and GOA are both far better organizations. This. Yes
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

If and when the NRA rids itself of 75 BOARD MEMBERS.......your request MAY have some merit but NOT until such time as it does so!! The NRA has s hit in its mess kit in many ways and it won't be corrected just by a request from some member that works for the NRA!

The NRA is like an ex, you loved her once but after being lied to and stabbed in the back enough times, you have moved on to better things and now the ex is dead to you

Probably not the best argument if you're trying to convince people to go back to their ex.

Not one dime until Wayne's hand picked successor and the board who let Wayne get away with his theft are gone. The 17 million dollar golden parachute back in the bank and a new business office hired. Because they should have outed Wayne and the board. They are all fugging rotten no matter what shrap says...mb

So, start sending them your money again.

There are aome great 2A groups that have shown themselves to be worthy of our support and are currently fighting for ALL of our rights,.
NRA picked and chose what would create the most cash flow and perks for their leadership. NRA's hand was only forced by the court, they would have never willingly ousted WLP and stopped the gravy train. They have proven over decades where their priorities lie and will never get another cent from me.

Other than mismanagement of funds, I have zero issues with the NRA. Now that Wayne is no
Longer Incharge. I feel there’s hope for the NRA.

The NRA has supported both in the past, then from membership pressure publically changed their minds. Should we believe them before or now? Where they truly stand on the issue is blatantly obvious.

If background checks for private sales and red flag laws are provided for in the US Constitution I'm all in!

Did not bother to read all the posts.
NRA is an easy pass.
It is my money to send where I see fit. The NRA has not been fit for an awful long time.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I will listen.

Been a lifelong member for years, but will not support in any other way until changes are made such as all members get to use all NRA properties not just the privileged ones.
