Just think of the point creep on archery only hunts if they ban guns ?slightlysober, there are millions of gun owners that have not joined the NRA or any other firearm Assoc. that will fight for their right to have firearms. In fact there is far more of those people then there is members of the NRA and they sit back and ride our coat tails on rights to gun ownership.

Kind of ironic the same guys I disagree with on most everything that they post is the same guys I disagree with on this threadI was for 30 years. when they turned into a for profit political misinformation propaganda machine I dumped them.
Is this real???Used to be, but their promoting of crossguns during archery seasons was the last straw for me. They need to stick to protecting 2nd amendment rights. Not exploiting deer herds with crappy management practices.

If it’s not, just give it a couple years. It will be. And the NRA will likely be lobbying for its inclusion in the “archery” season. Just as fact.Is this real???
5 million membership, that's what you call few gun owners!Having you disagree with me is an honor notdon. there's a reason the NRA is a dumpster fire that represents so few gun owners. some see it and some can't.
Only 5 million? Seems kinda low. Hell PETA has 6.5 million members.5 million membership, that's what you call few gun owners!
The NRA is considered one of three most powerful advocacy groups in the nation.
I am proud to be part of that dumpster fire.

Joe Biden has 80 million ?Only 5 million? Seems kinda low. Hell PETA has 6.5 million members.
Exactly !On again, off again over the years. Currently not. The right to own a gun and protect myself doesn't come from the government and I will always have one. I couldn't care less what laws pass because they don't enforce the gun laws we have now except on law abiding citizens. They do it all wrong. The criminal will always have a gun, and so will I.
You make up stories about an organization you do not agree with!
Not a good practice!
I think every organization gets so big that this happens, it probably was never the intent but greed happens, the wounded warriors is a prime example.The Amway of 2nd Amendment organizations. I gave up a long time ago on the NRA. They are a multi level marketing scheme designed to line ole Wayne's pockets.
You will always hear the Kool aid drinkers claim that the only reason we even have a gun is because of the NRA. Stats show there are over 80 million gun owners in the US. There is a reason only 6.25% of them are willing to shell out their hard earned money so Ole Wayne and his boot lickers can travel on private jets and go on $30,000 clothes buying sprees.

Get your facts straight @NeMont, $39,000 shopping sprees.The Amway of 2nd Amendment organizations. I gave up a long time ago on the NRA. They are a multi level marketing scheme designed to line ole Wayne's pockets.

What wayne did was wrong.I’ve been thinking of joining. No better way to take something down than from the inside ?
That's true and when the Wounded Warrior started doing stupid things, I bailed and looked for a different organization that helped wounded veterans. NRA Kool Aid drinkers will never leave Ole Wayne to slum with the common folk.I think every organization gets so big that this happens, it probably was never the intent but greed happens, the wounded warriors is a prime example.
Your memory isn't what it never was. I bailed on WWP when the top started taking with both hands. NRA boot lickers don't give a flying (expletive) about where their money goes.Nemont were you not a "boot licker " for wounded warriors. If my memory serves me right they were accused of only giving one dollar to the veteran for every nineteen dollars they took in as donations.
Yes old wayne is a A.H, but the NRA has done more for our firearm's rights then Wounded Warriors have done for our veterans.
Do not again give me the excuse you only contributed to your local Wounded Warriors. Have you bothered to ask them how much of the donations were sent to the national office to be used for high outrageous salaries and advertisement.

If they got rid of the current leadership, returned to the roots of the organization and stayed true to JUST the 2nd Amendment and keeping it sarcosanct, I would be all in.It would be good if they made Colion Noir the president. He is young, educated, good looking, has a history with the organization, and he is black. I think that would be a good thing. It’s always being criticized as a white boys club. What could they say about it then? I really like him.

There is no way Wayne is going to leave and it is his board of directors.
You’re old and at the age you can afford to piss money away. Good for you!I officially became a domestic terrorist and an enemy of the United States under the Biden administration.
I rejoined the NRA yesterday. Somebody call the FBI and the National Guard.
Tomorrow I won't remember if I joined.You’re old and at the age you can afford to piss money away. Good for you!
Our local utility has an option where if you pay your electric bill for the whole year they give you 10% off. I forgot I paid it and every month for the rest of the year I sent them a check. At the end of the year they issued me a refund. I then forgot to pay January's bill and the late fee washed away the 10% I saved from the previous year. And the best part was because I had a late payment I wasn't eligible to sign up for the autopayment for rest the year. Getting old sucks....Tomorrow I won't remember if I joined.
No, I get it and can see how you feel that way. I guess I hate Biden more than Wayne so I rejoined. Just knowing it pisses off Biden is worth it.If they got rid of the current leadership, returned to the roots of the organization and stayed true to JUST the 2nd Amendment and keeping it sarcosanct, I would be all in.

You want to finance fancy clothes, private jets, HUGE legal fees and malfeasance out of hatred for Biden, knock yourself out.

No, I opted out of the free duffle bag and magazine.

The gun club I used to belong to required the same, and they bought their insurance policy through the NRA.last week I got another renewal notice. But I'm NOT due again until 4-24. Wish they would save the stamp and paperwork. I do a 5 year renewal every 5 years. The gun club requires you to be a NRA member to join.
Wayne Lapierre is not good for the NRA and if you don't want to join the NRA that diffintly is your right but for you to say they NRA do not defend the 2nd Amendment is flat out a lying. The NRA still is the best defense of the 2nd Amendment.You want to finance fancy clothes, private jets, HUGE legal fees and malfeasance out of hatred for Biden, knock yourself out.

The Gun Club I was on the board of required NRA membership and we also bought the Liability Insurance Policy from them as well. Technically It was thru an Insurance Company affiliated with the NRA.The gun club I used to belong to required the same, and they bought their insurance policy through the NRA.
Only 5 million? Seems kinda low. Hell PETA has 6.5 million members.
Imagine how effective they would be with the millions in their coffers that have been pi$$ed away by Ole Wayne, Ackerman-McQueen and bankruptcy filings.Wayne Lapierre is not good for the NRA and if you don't want to join the NRA that diffintly is your right but for you to say they NRA do not defend the 2nd Amendment is flat out a lying.

There is a reason the NRA is the number one organization that the Left strive to defeat.

I would submit that those who pay attention and vote for the right candidates do a lot to secure those rights as well.slightlysober, there are millions of gun owners that have not joined the NRA or any other firearm Assoc. that will fight for their right to have firearms.

One big difference is I have never taken nor asked for a single dollar out of your pocket. You know that Wayne regularly takes your money and spends it on himself or spends it on lawyers or spends it on his friends or spends it on empire building. A few cents make it down to defending what used to be the core mission of the NRA. Yet you continue to send money to ole Wayne, voluntarily.If old Wayne is fleecing all the old members, he is in the same boat as Nemont who fleeces the baby boomers on health insurance and admits he does not like baby boomers.
I do not see any difference between the two of them.
