Thank all the voting members who kept Wayne and his band of grifters in charge.

I agree.
The NRA itself isnt a bad idea....its a great idea.
The problem is that like almost every other business, greed eventually takes over.
The top few guys at the NRA make millions of dollars a year.....and for what?........a job that is worth maybe $200,000 a year?.......WLP makes like 6 million or something.
I know from many years alive that there are very, very few truly good people in this world. People willing to do the right thing for a good cause.
Just as an example, my parents ran a very popular summer camp for Great Lakes Covenant Church for 30 years.
The season was from June-Sept where we had to move there into a cabin....our whole family.
It was an insanely time consuming and difficult job for my parents. From hireing staff to keeping 400 people safe, to program creation.......24/7 job.
The camp ran for 12 weeks a year......my dad made exactly $1200 a season.....thats $100 a week. Hr did a fantastic job there and is considered a legend in this area.
Nearly everyone I meet around here went to the camp and love my dad.
My point is, there should be SOME good people out there who could operate the NRA well and earn a fair wage....$200,000/year.......but it seems thats not possible. Over the last at least 4 decades the people running the NRA are greedy businessmen who probably dont even own a gun.

You do realize the NRA has been involved with helping pass and keep gun control since the beginning

If we ever truly defeat the gun grabbers the NRA would have to go back to being focused primarily on training and proficiency.

Can't milk your "members" for millions as easily when you can't use the "sky is falling" speech.

Even when the NRA was only about safety and training and what not, they were there supporting gun grabbers..


The NRA (National Revolver Association, an early part of the Rifle Association in the early 1900s) vocally supported the first pistol licensing scheme.

Fuck the NRA, there are better options for training and safety

Let's also not forget..

USCCA used to always be invited to NRAAM, then one year (I believe it was about 6 years ago) the NRA realized they could start making money on an insurance scam similar to the policy and services provided by USCCA, the problem was the wouldn't be able to compete with this business that they helped promote and build..


The NRA realized they were not making as much money off this business as they could so they actually KICKED USCCA out of that year's up coming NRAAM and announced they were going to start offering concealed carry classes and oh look at this carry insurance. Completely burning USCCA.


FUCK the NRA

Oh just WLP, so you don't care about all the poison he's infested the NRA with, just so long as he is gone collecting his free money

Wayne needed to go 20 years ago.

i stopped being a member when I realized they couldn't possibly making money when a membership was $12.95, but when you joined you got a duffle bag, a free subscription to one of three magazines and a knife or a hat.

to start with, I know exactly the cost of publishing a magazine, it is extremely expensive. granted, they have paid advertising to help offset the cost of publication, still very pricy. the "free gifts" are not "free", all that cost money, and the only way to cover those cost is through membership dues or begging for money with expensive survey mailers and phone calls.

most importantly. i simply dislike Wayne.

Of course I know, I could write a fucking book about it!! From the 1920s attack on concealed carry, to the huge laws in the 1930s, to the Mulford Act, to the Brady bill, to the bump stock ban.....yep got it.
Did you read what I wrote???
I said in theory its a great idea.
A group that teaches kids and adults about firearms and fights for the 2nd amendment..... Whats wrong with that idea?

I’m convinced that any organization that takes money is corrupt. It’s just a matter of if and when they get caught.

No longer Secret, thanks DR. Evil
I just don't care. Whatever I say...

Lots of foolish people are members of this organization. Yep, I said it fools and foolish people. There has been strong evidence for years and years and years that they are corrupt, and their main objective was NOT the 2A.

Year after year, people renew their membership and pass along the lies that they do so much for gun owners.

I would love to see a real, an honest list of what they have done.

SAFE Act is here and they did NOTHING. Nothing but take the money from foolish NYer's.
