I'm going to write in the administrative members of the firearms policy coalition, who have actually been making schitt happen. For example:

FPC Daily 2A Legal Update - 7/13/21

In today's FPC legal update, we have updates from a lawsuit challenging the federal ban on FFL handgun sales to under-21 adults and a lawsuit challenging New York's restrictive carry laws.

Imagine what they could do with the NRAs budget!

NRA Annual Meeting

News confirming that many major vendors will not be exhibiting or attending the annual meeting. The reason being given is covid, although that is (in part or in whole) likely an excuse; as we noted…

See the 2nd paragraph re: voting

And see the Update at the end!

Why anyone would still support the modern day NRA is beyond me. They are terribly anti-gun.

I agree with "Why anyone would still support the modern day NRA is beyond me."

I do not agree with "They are terribly anti-gun."

I believe that they will do and say anything to support the parasite WLP. He is solely ruining the NRA.

Using their contact form, I emailed them advising that I am considering renouncing my membership unless major reforms are made. Got a return that my message will be forwarded to some committee or other.

Yeah, my bet is the committee will be actively looking for excuses to terminate your membership, like some "Thou Shalt Never Disparage Saint Wayne" clause in the Bylaws.

Main reason I'm a Lifer is so I'm guaranteed the chance to vote against Wayne's Weasels every time...

CRAP! We lost entirely on the BOD.

Remember Jerry Jeff Walker?
He had a song..."Pissin in the wind".

"Write in" now has to be letters of resignation.
Massad Ayoob does a far, far better job at the Second Amendment Foundation. And Alan Gottlieb has been at this since the 70s.

NRA Director Rocky Marshall Moves to Intervene in NY Dissolution Suit

Director Rocky Marshall Moves to Intervene in NY Dissolution Suit!

Here’s his motion. It’s a good one. As a sitting director, he has legal standing that members lacked. This could be NRA’s salvation. I can only take off a few minutes from work to…

Hopefully there is another NRA Director willing to step into the breach when Marshall's term expires.

as a life member, i get sent voting goodies. ends up getting tossed in the trash. i don't know anyone on the list and not inclined to spend hours researching them. i don't typically go to NRA sites, i don't get the magazines, last news i heard they were moving to TX.

Bunch of WLP stooges. This isn't Check Heston's NRA anymore. Pathetic!

NRA Finished 2020 in the Black Due to Massive Spending Cuts After Revenue Falls, Legal Costs Skyrocket

The NRA’s finances stayed above water in 2020. But only because it continued to make significant spending cuts.

IOW, a slightly less costly mess.

The NRA called me for a donation last month, the guy sounded sad when I said No--the most I could give them was $50 for a couple of on sale pocket polo shirts

The NRA needs to die. It has not advanced one 2nd amendment cause in about 50+ years.

Its nothing but a money laundering operation that dupes stupid people into donating and willing their estates so a select few can get rich. They support anti gun efforts and virtually every 2nd Amendment Win at the Ballots and in the Court has been due to non NRA gun rights organizations.

Gun clubs needs to distance themselves and get away.

I wouldn't piss on a NRA board member if they were on fire. They are all part of the problem. The good ones were all expelled a long time ago for trying to fight the corruption.

Wayne was a democrat lobbyist/campaign guy ( In 1973 he started a Ph.D. at Boston University but dropped out to help a Democrat run for the Virginia state legislature; a few years later he received an M.A. in political science from Boston College.). Tell me again why is leading the NRA? Why would anyone give them a dime?

 

[Awrig6]

Originally a Democrat, like a substantial portion of the National Rifle Association's longest-serving staff, Wayne was active with the Roanoke Democrats in college but declined a job offer from the office of Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill. Instead, he got a job at the NRA. The NRA building at the time was right across the street from the Democratic National Committee, and so he walked right in and ran into some staff that he knew from his work in politics. They were looking for a Democratic lobbyist, so he signed on right away.

The Weirdness of Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s Reluctant Leader

The head of the National Rifle Association can’t shoot, can’t schmooze, and has the “backbone of a chocolate eclair,” says a former board member—yet commands one of the most influential right-wing organizations in politics. In his new book, ‘Misfire,’ Tim Mak outlines LaPierre’s fall upward.
