More NRA intrigue?

[D-4297]

Danny I hear what you are saying, but they are never going to repair themselves and we can't do it to them. Let them die, while not as noticeable as the NRA the GOA and others are making a difference in the courts while NRA money is being used to stir the shit that is the NRA at this time. Sending them money is just prolonging the agony.

All I heard from you GOA guys for several years was the same Bullshit about how great they are , and how they don't harass and badger you for money constantly ! THAT'S A DAMNED LIE ! GOA is just as bad , if not worse than the NRA when it comes to badgering people constantly for money .
I joined GOA and every single piece of mail I got from them was another request for more money to "fight the good fight" , for over a year . Enough is Enough !
I dropped my GOA Membership , and will maintain my NRA Membership because it is necessary for competition requirements .
The GOA can go tell their LIES elsewhere .

FPC files more lawsuits than anyone. I agree GOA was kind of an annoying group. Not sure they ever got anything done.

Another function NRA has a purpose for IMO is, as mentioned earlier, management of the competitions. As an F Class competitor, I would like to see more NRA attention given to that part of the organization.

They suck at that too. My scores were never posted even though I paid the fee.

WLP gutted competitions. Whenever he needed more money, he pulled it out of competitions. They are way understaffed and under funded. It doesn't seem the new leadership gives a damn either.

Fact...political activism is expensive.

In five pages of posts on the subject of the NRA, I counted 23 non-member posts. I may have double counted a few but just a few.

And we will remain nonmembers until an org shows up that isn't corrupt and actually supports it's members.

 

[joshb]

Power corrupts! Most of these organizations raise money, a lot of money. It doesn’t take long for the “directors” to start treating themselves like celebrities and thinking that money is theirs.

D4297 I have no experience with the GOA other than seeing there mention in the news. My time with the NRA has left me just like you. I would get 2-4 calls a week and always wanted more money some times it was when i was up a ladder or running a power tool. I have been so upset about all the badgering for money that Wayne was going to steal, I have not donated one cent to anybody.

The "left" is sponsored by billionaires. Interestingly, the "right" is not.

Isn't that interesting? The percentage of billionaires that are actually pro freedom is teeny tiny. The vast majority of the ultra rich will sign up to sponsor anything that promotes anti Constitutionalism.

That’s because most are tech based and their sales are directed at the “younger crowd” that are, mostly, anti gun Democrat. They wouldn’t expose themselves even if they are pro 2nd amendment. Look what happened to Tesla when Elon did his chainsaw thing.

 

[lawman29]

I look at my membership in the NRA as just another form of insurance that is very cheap.

 

[VA_XTC_Shooter]

NRA did just post up new revised rules for AR-Tactical division. Guessing other rules are being tweaked now. There is still some life in NRA. At least one board member is now an active competitor.

Hmmm. Well.

Bankers, Wall Street, insurance, big oil, big steel, big tobacco, big pharma, newspapers, media companies, retail, and Hollywood all existed before "tech" even existed.

Rockefeller said "competition is a sin", nearly 100 years before tech existed.

So, I think I'll say billionaires not supporting the Constitution is not new. With the exception of Henry Ford and Ross Perot, not a single name comes to mind. Maybe this is something people really need to ponder. Where are the rich constitutionalists? Not people that SAY they are, but really are....

 

[r bose]

They are certainly the best place to waste your money. I hate that my local club makes me maintain a membership.

I wonder if this is why competition attendance is down? I see some match programs requiring precipitants to be NRA members.

It's down because the vast majority of American young men would rather sit home and play video games.

And have deluded themselves into believing tbey can really shoot.

I was a Life Member for over 30 years. The last dozen or so I received the publication via email. Changed email provider and forgot the password to old account-lost track of what was going on till one day, along with the ballot, I got a paper copy of the AR. In it was an add for a coin with the face of you know who, so I canceled my membership. That was during His Exaltedness's first go round.

The process of throttling the Executive Branch's power may involve a re-write (unless we would rather have a King), where the Amendments will all be in play.

America is the organization we should support. Rather than buying another high priced toy, donate to candidates who share our values.

I saw the light years ago. I was, at one time, an NRA member. I AM a life member of North American Hunting Club and Air Force Sergeants Association. Magazines for both disappeared years ago and NAHC, last I checked, went bankrupt. AFSA went to online only, don't even know if they still exist as I haven't gotten anything from them for years. When I did it was always the same pitch, please send money.

I give nothing to organizations that can't control their purse strings or hierarchy and have no regrets.
