Actually after being a member of NRA for several years, I haven't seen them do anything substantial. About the only thing that they are excellent at is fund raising and I'm tired of that-they've become a nuisance.

Speaking of their fund raising. When I get calls from the NRA and as soon as they tell me who they are, I tell them “if you’re calling about wanting money, you’re out of luck, I’m broke”. They usually make a graceful exit and hang up after that. I did get one lady who offered me a chance to lower my dues. When I told her that I had been a life member for over ten years, she didn’t have much else to say.

The nra should have no more than 10 board members. They should have 4 year terms. Every member should be able to see all financials so we know where the money is going. And number one, Wayne needs gone. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. He controls the whole NRA. How can most NRA members not see this? Since when does the executive VP run an organization? It doesn’t happen anywhere. The corruption is so bad At the NRA I don’t see anything repairing it. Most of the board members are only there to either keep other people off of Wayne and Chris’ backs or to have famous people for publicity. Most don’t even show up to the meetings. We let this happen just like we let the government get the way it is.

I was surprised and very disappointed to see Chris Cox involved in the coup attempt. The text messages involving Boren/Cox/North are pretty damning.

Chris Cox is very passionate about protecting the 2nd amendment and can outline in detail any current or recent lawsuits that the NRA has been involved with. People claim the NRA has done nothing for them, but when you start reading a list of cases, they have been very active.

Even with the current turmoil, I will not abandon other NRA members! I will continue to support Friends of the NRA since it directly supports the shooting sports.

Why? Do you support LaPierre and his cronies?

I was surprised that Chris Cox has been involved because he has not been mentioned in any previous reports or articles. LaPierre needs to answer to the membership with a full financial disclosure and not filter it through a selected group of board members.
