The Shit Storm that is the NRA Today & How We Got Here

[Totem Polar]

Marion and a few other board members receive compensation for doing things other than being a board member. So, if an article says she's getting paid to be a board member, that's incorrect. In Marion's case, it's for lobbying and other political work. Any compensation that board members receive is disclosed in our 990.

Good enough. Again, your credit here is exceptional; the MSM not so much: that’s why I ask.

Thanks for the clarification. I was mistaken

I need to chase this one down for a sec, Josh. It doesn’t take long to find articles talking about, say, Marion Hammer’s pay as a board member. I’m not one to trust the media over you based on long experience, mind, but I do have to ask: what’s up with that?

eg.

The article says she was paid that money while a board member, NOT for being a board member.

The leadership of the NRA has been in steady decline since 1991, because WLP is a cancer that has metastasized.

I got another renewal form and this is what’s on the part to send back:



The only thing that I would want to write to Wayne is “resign and be damned“.

I’ve been a member for over 30 years. I’m done forking over for Wayne's cult of personality. I'll send my renewal money to SAF.

I just got my ballot, who should I vote for?

I'm not sure that it makes any difference.

Take this for what it's worth (source The Trace):

Don’t they usually come out in March or so?

[Flamingo]

To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the time of year that they come out. I think it is because of all the resignations.

Yes, but annual meeting is normally in April or May. Since it is in September this year, they're in the combined June/July issue that just came out.

Let’s figure out who’s the least of the evils on this one. I just got an email from my dad, roughly “If you hear anything on a productive path forward on this from your forums, let me know. At this point I am happy to vote with you.”

He’s in the F LaPierre camp as well.
