If they don’t get this, they cannot fathom the situation on the ground in the swamp and what it takes to keep the turds in DC from usurping our god given rights. I do not condone it but understand it and recognize it is a needed element of protecting our rights…You know, while many of us consider the red lobster to be pretty fancy/expensive, I learned watching TV that rich people joke about the place (Maury).
Have you considered *****ing at me about it?So basically voting members of the NRA are just going to play pin the tail on the donkey and hope that the leadership gets things straightened out?
I was hoping someone had a good idea about how to put the NRA on a new footing.Have you considered *****ing at me about it?
Are you channeling your inner @BigRed , or am I missing something?Have you considered *****ing at me about it?
Go down to 50 board members, and require one be from each state, as an interim step towards a smaller board(This comment is for voting members of the NRA.)
Keep in mind we have board members who have been elected post-2019 debacle. Indiana Senator Jim Tomes is on the ballot. Not voting for all the incumbents isn't always a good approach.
I spoke with an NRA Board member (also post 2019-debacle/not on the ballot) yesterday. Lets just say they are working on it. The Compliance Officer position will be a very good step with the independence the position will hold.
(This is for everyone)
I spent the last 2 days in a very small area with a longtime NRA-ILA employee who I've known for 6 years. I'll share one of his concerns. The members who left because of WLP... will they return or become the "not until they change the board to XX members" crowd. Then the "HEY! I wanted XX members, the hats are made in Vietnam, and I don't want to get stuff in the mail...RABBLE RABBLE!!" crowd. (OK I added rabble rabble.)
For what it's worth, everyone in the NRA/NRA-ILA booth agreed: 76 is a very big number.
My NRA-ILA POC always asks about INGO. Are they up on this? Is there discussion about that? Is moderating a gun owners discussion forum really like herding cats? (OK, I made that one up.) I'm guessing it's because we're a pretty good measure of guns owners in this part of the country.
We need more 'Mr Smith goes to Washington' and less 'Mr La Pierre goes to Saville Row'You are making a lot of assumptions in this. Do you really think they wold waltz into federal court to make a defense by declaring that senator so and so, representatives frick and frack, along with judge no case were all on a junket? Which one sounds more plausible WLP took his niece or unnamed politicians?
I believe WLP a swamp creature, the type the good guys need to battle the bad guys on a level playing field. The need for such will not go away with the departure of WLP…
Can the rest of the nation auto-secede NYC?Longtime NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre found liable in corruption trial - Washington Examiner
Jurors spent five days deliberating and came to their decision Friday, bringing an end to the six week civil showdown between the NRA and the governmentwww.washingtonexaminer.com
The New York jury found that LaPierre “violated his statutory obligation to discharge the duties of his position in good faith,” and that his actions cost the NRA $5.4 million. He has already paid more than $1.3 million back and was ordered to pay the rest back to the organization.
“This case is about corruption: misuse of funds spent on jets, black cars, five-star hotels, hundreds of thousands of dollars of suits, multimillion-dollar deals to insiders, payments to loyal board members, and pervasive violations of internal controls,” Connell told a jury in a packed New York City courtroom.
Compliance Officer with a lot of independence is a step in the right direction.I was hoping someone had a good idea about how to put the NRA on a new footing.
I was sitting on aluminum bleachers in a very loud gym when I posted that. I'm on the patio with the grill going, a Macanudo Inspirado White, and a Woodford Reserve on the rock (ice cube, 1 each) so I'm a bit more chill now. Not enough *'s to be channeling RedAre you channeling your inner @BigRed , or am I missing something?

Ha-ha...right there with you (although I prefer the Inspirado Orange).I was sitting on aluminum bleachers in a very loud gym when I posted that.

Kelly? Sane? HAH!Ha-ha...right there with you (although I prefer the Inspirado Orange).
Just checking the sandbags around your sanity.
I am just channeling back the crap posted. Nobody knows anything for sure but a lot of cocksure posting going on here probably because most of the complaints are not even from voting members. The posts by most voting members are more measured because if one really is a part of something they are less excited about burning it down.IMO Mike you are defending the indefensible at this point, the damage is already done. The organization looks like it will survive but not if they try to resume business as usual
Jeez, with all the talk about WLP’s takedown being a NRA takedown, you’d think WLP WAS the NRA, instead of the members being the NRA.Don’t challenge the deeply held beliefs of those sucked into the lefts takedown of the NRA. It may destabilize the universe…
But then you fall in a pond and see that it the pond water made you wet. Even a broke clock is accurate twice a day.I am not disputing that there may have been some financial shenanigans, but I would not believe the NY AG or a NY judge if they told me water was wet.
Guess I could have read another post before posting.Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. LaPierre is a crook. NRA is portraying itself as a "victim" of him in court, even as they talk out the other side of their mouth and congratulate him elsewhere.
The question now is - does the NRA remain corrupt without WLP? All indications are "Yes."
Did gun rights grow in the nation or recede on his watch as the leader of what enemies of the 2A call the power behind pro-gun movement.
