Whats going on with the NRA that so many are dissatisfied with them?
I'm out of the loop on this matter.......
In these current times seems like we need all the help we can get regarding the 2nd, but so many here are dropping their memberships....
Whats up?
Wayne's ridiculous salary and spending habits. Spends our money more on himself than the "cause". In a nutshell.
And his actual salary would be?
Google says about a mill a year........
WLP has ran the NRA in the ground with dictator style of running the organization
Spend 260 time 300 thousand dollars on his wardrobe and personal use of the NRA owned jet and yacht. Lavish vacations. Eliminating the president and board members that try to rein in his lavish spending. Failing to claim any of this as income and now has a lawsuit to revoke the charter for mismanagement

I believe about 2.4 million
Well Kenneth rip van winkle you have been asleep at the switch. This has been going on quite awhile now. Wayne LaPierre has been fleecing the membership for years but it is been obvious as hell for the last 3-4 years and his hand picked board of directors have helped him do it. Mb

I am tired of the constant willingness to compromise our rights away and support of "common sense" gun legislation.

That is a real problem these days with people running craftsmen and they don't know the craft
There has been a lot of discovery regarding the organizations misuse of funds.
Flagrant wasting of millions to benefit the spoiled few within its ranks. Not only were a lot of these actions inappropriate, they are illegal. Leaving the organization wide open to criminal and civil suits that have to be defended with its member's money.
Couple that with the fact that they never stop soliciting money, and the fact that they use the fear of their bankruptcy to keep the money rolling in, and you end up with a very disenfranchised base.
That's the story in a nutshell.
I think many have focused in on WLP when the problems with the NRA are much more widespread and not easily gotten rid of regardless of his presence. WLP was once a formidable force. At one time he WAS the "change" and reform.
Thanks for this. I didn't know it existed until now.

Thank you Jwp475, while Kenneth assumes I spent 50 hrs a week on the internet he is fos . I held down a fulltime job and all the other responsibilities life deals out. There is no damned excuse for being unaware of what is going on around you and the politics that fires it. Mb
They act like Dems, good at shaking folks down for money, using fear as a weapon, spending their take on certain pet projects.
As posted before, WLP is NOT one of my pet projects.
I tell Larry, "no thanks" when asked to round up on my MidwayUSA orders.
And, I'm an Endowment Member, but still get mail asking me to join.
They're so busy shaking everyone down, they don't know who they're sending mail to. Not sure they care, or they'd be more selective with their mail outs.
As they "fight" for us, they are pretty quick to compromise on key issues. Swampers to the the hilt, IMO.

Go to youtube.com and search for Gun's Magazine podcast number 76. It's an excellent breakdown on what is happening with the NRA bankruptcy case in Texas.

Kenneth is a dumb ass.
Here's information on this issue that will provide enough for the rest of the day.
The NRA has been the controlled opposition to the gun grabbers all of our lives. Sometimes it's been better and usually worse. However, they are the inside agents that have given away our God-given rights. I speak of the leadership and not the membership. I too was a member in time past, but for a conscience knew that I was supporting an evil cause. Even if Wayne willingly stepped aside, it's a corrupt tree with bad fruit.

1. NRA actually works for gun control much of the time. In GA they have been caught lobbying against our state organizations many times.
2. They do the same nationally.
3. The corruption and waste means much less of your donations go to fight gun control than with other pro-gun organizations. Gun Owners of America has done more than NRA with less for decades. Go look at what GoA has done in the courts and on TV news.
Your donations and activism are much more effective working with GoA or NAGR, et al and your local and state organizations. NRA works against you.
Had and showed support for red flag and background check laws, and more, plus the fund mess.
In the end, they have shown for decades they are not as much of the gun rights or gun owners friend as claimed

JWP, you can keep your attitude, I have my own.
WLP has ran the NRA in the ground with dictator style of running the organization
Spend 260 time 300 thousand dollars on his wardrobe and personal use of the NRA owned jet and yacht. Lavish vacations. Eliminating the president and board members that try to rein in his lavish spending. Failing to claim any of this as income and now has a lawsuit to revoke the charter for mismanagement
A brief but not complete list of abuses
OK, WLP is a dick but has the NRA's representation to us declined ?

I don't like WLP any more than anyone else but you are a fool and a liar if you believe what you posted.
While I wasn't alive in 1934, the NRA did NOT support the Brady check system in 1993. It was going to pass so they managed to get it watered down to be "instant" instead of a one month waiting period. Duh!
And the 1994 AWB? They got that watered down. It did not eliminate A SINGLE AR15, got a 10-year sunset provision, and allowed new manufactured AR15s during the 10 years provided they didn't have bayonet studs or flash suppressors. Duh! It did eliminate making new magazines, BUT the months between passage and effect got so many mags manufactured that you could buy all you wanted, during the 10-year ban, for $20 each.
If it weren't for the NRA, AR15s would be illegal today and there would be a one month waiting period to buy buy a single barreled shotgun.
Oh yes, and "Saturday Night Specials," meaning any pistol that could be concealed, would be outlawed.
And remember when you had to register ammunition at the point of sale? Who do you think got that repealed?
So just because you're a loser craving attention, you have no right to criticize those who worked hard to keep the rights we have.
The NRA conspicuously gave ZERO support to Trump's re-election campaign.
It's not that I doubt you, but any links or facts on this matter?
If true, I'd also have serious questions on this.

the NRA did support the NFA of 1934, in fact their president spolke to congress and stated the organization did not support the carrying of firearms
the NRA DID support the GCA of 68
the NRA did support the Bump stock ban.
the NRA also ackd the Federal Firearms act of 1938
the NRA is not our friend
I don't remember hearing a peep from the NRA when the executive order was signed banning bump stocks.
I've heard no updates from the NRAon the Constitutional carry bills in Texas or Louisiana

What is relevant is Wayne allegedly played with millions of members dollars on personal fun times.
Maybe if he would have been more into the sport of hunting, shooting, and personal defense, both he and the NRA wouldn’t be in this position.
Yes, I’ve been an NRA member since 1980. Life member of GOA and OFF in Oregon.

I dropped my membership years ago. I did not believe they were working for gun owners to lookout for all of our interest. WLP is looking out for himself, just like politicians. Two faced as hell, and does not give a schitd about the general gun owners and shooters. I went around with one NRA bigshot at the gun show. That is when the assult weapon ban was condoned by NRA.

Condoned?
It was totally emasculated by the NRA. It banned nothing. If it wasn't for the NRA, it would be illegal to own "assault rifles" today, like in every other country. They don't have an NRA there.
And what about the stuff the NRA prevented from becoming law in the first place? Ever hear of "cop killer bullets?"
They duped ALOT of people for decades
WTF

The NRA conspicuously gave ZERO support to Trump's re-election campaign.
There was zero money available to spend on re-electing Trump. It was at that point going to Wayne's law firm. NRA was busy laying off workers and firing any opposition to LaPierre to save money for legal costs. They couldn't help Heller and McDonald with their legal costs in the federal courts, cases which won the most important firearms rights victories ever but we can spend millions of $$ on Wayne and his troubles. Our NRA is spending a fortune defending the illegal sheit Wayne has been covering up for years with the acquiescence of his huge mostly sycophantic BOD.

I think there was an emergency NRA board meeting. Any news?
No doubt the NRA has been disheveled, off target, some of the Board self-serving, wasteful of $$ and needing to toss WLP. The Board soon will have to do the latter - very soon as I see it. Bad as it looks, WLP is not the primary problem - he is a symbol of it. All of the gassing here about him is understandable, but almost meaningless.
The big question for me is whether or not the Board will suck it up, change policies that need such, knock off the internal buddy buddy and reward system and fully concentrate on the lobbying and power politics needed to protect our rights. They can do this with an honest look in the mirror and some guts. But, can that happen with the particular people on the Board at present? A lot of them were purpose-picked. Wholesale resignations/replacements may be the key. Do enough of them have the guts?
