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

[JAD]

LOL. You mean GOA, the Pratt Family Grocery Fund?

Come on, Larry is a fine representative of the firearms rights community.

>Wayne's slush fund...
>>the Pratt Family Grocery Fund?

That raises an interesting question - what are good destinations for would-have-been-NRA money?

The Firearms Policy Coalition maybe? State orgs?

NRA-ILA

[Tamara]

Now I can see you might have a vested interest in the NRA, as you're the handgun editor of shooting illustrated, a NRA magazine...

I recommend you don't listen to me then, since I'm so easily compromised.

NRA-ILA

Isn't one of the items in the current scandal that the ILA gave a big loan to the NRA proper, and that Cox was canned for balking at additional loans?

And a shill, I might add.

I'd never give anything a negative review.

There might have been a couple of terse, telegraphic novels by a certain individual that were less equal than others. But let's not get into Orwellian territory.

A wounded NRA-ILA is still a bajillion times more effective than the Pratt Family Grocery Fund, although we could always do a Tumblr Feminist Purity Spiral, I guess.

There's probably some guy in a cabin in Wyoming who's never had an anti-gun thought in his life and who doesn't know who Wayne, Chris, or Larry are. We could send our money to him.

That guy was probably Finis Mitchell.
