School me on BROWNELLS - do they support NRA ?

[CaseHardened]

As recently as a year ago I enjoyed shopping on Brownells.

They gave me a discount (small) as a C&R, and had a feature on Checkout where they encouraged you to "round up" to the next dollar for the NRA.

Also .... You could renew your NRA Membership there for $10 off.

The C&R Discount remains - everything else GONE.

What happened ?

I thought Pete Brownell was on the Board, no?

 

[Justincase]

I would imagine. Pete Brownell is the NRA president

 

[kev74]

Pete Brownell is the past president of NRA. He resigned when they got Ollie North in.

Brownells is VERY pro NRA.

Thanks. I saw Ollie was implanted into the NRA somewhere, but didn't realize it was in Brownell's position. He wasn't in that position very long.

I was going to place an order just today, but when I saw the pro-NRA features gone ==== I paused.

Past sponsor of annual convention.

Thank you @CaseHardened for pausing to make sure your coin is going in the right directions. Every little bit helps.

All I can figure is the NRA pushed Pete Brownell out, so Ollie North could come in.

Leading to bad blood.

This pure speculation, but the facts would support that.

I don't think there is bad blood.

I'm guessing either personal issues, time commitments or the current political climate lead to Brownell not serving for another year.

If there were any hard feelings, they would be spread all over the place. That would be a hard secret to keep quiet.

Between Brownell's and Midway, they've probably raised over $10million


MidwayUSA’s NRA Round-Up Program Reaches Nearly $10 Million (Looks like Midway alone did that!)



Pete Brownell Elected NRA President

Besides, the "round-up" programs really piss off the libtards.

They certianly piss me off when shopping at such a place. I have to ensure I untick them.

Donate 1 cent to the NRA? Yeah fucking right!

 

[Mosinitis]

Brownells is one of my favorite. I don't get their catalog as often as I used to.

Hope Charlie Schumer visits you in your next wet dream.

Well he and the NRA are about equally as anti gun, so he might.

 

[96coal449]

Another NRA debut.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Fuck the NRA and fuck giving them any money for them to take more gun rights away

 

[Phauxtoe]

(i always wait for the sales at brownells)

Why did Brownells drop the NRA "Round-Up" ?

 

[wdeister08]

Wouldn't surprise me if people made purchases without realizing the round up was tacked on until after. Midway does it too. Almost gave them money a few times

 

[Glenn B]

Why did Brownells drop the NRA "Round-Up" ?

Why not contact Brownell's and ask them.

 

[CaseHardened]

I DID !!!!

via chat

TWICE

I received NO RESPONSE either time.

The chat just kind of froze.

Clearly the low-level chatters have either been instructed, or have learned, to keep mum.

What I need is some GRACE SCREWDRIVERS. But not kits of them. I have kits.

From the kits I identify specific sizes I need, for each firearm.

I then prefer to purchase those, and keep them in the bag/box with that gun.

Very few places offer individual Grace Screwdrivers.

 

[Edwardteach72]

So wait you wont buy something you need because the site doesnt offer the chance to give the NRA a few pennies?

Cant you order the stuff then call the NRA and just give them money? I hear they really like money, like a lot, more than gun rights

I just really don't like companies that ignore my questions.

Surely Brownells could provide their Phone-Flunkies with SOME excuse.

I want to know why they don't round-up anymore.

Just tell me the Truth - or a good Lie.

At this rate I will likely just buy another complete set elsewhere, and eBay the leftovers.
