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

[joshs]

I suppose it's worth asking, since I'm wondering about it.....

If ILA gets assigned a budget from NRA (Board) of (hypothetically) $1M for the fiscal year and direct donations to ILA exceed $1M.... is the allocated budget reduced accordingly?

It might feel better giving directly to ILA, but only with some assurance that monies otherwise budgeted from HQ don't get offset by direct donations to ILA.

Sorry for the confusing language... Not sure how to ask this more succinctly.

I'll send you a PM.

When my latest five year NRA membership expired a couple years ago and I declined to renew, I kept getting magazines for the next year and a half. That was interesting. They seem to have finally given up.

When WLP is gone and I see evidence of new and honest leadership, I'll consider coming back. Until then other organizations get my money.

Side note: I agree with legal challenges to anti-2A legislation and I think it's really important. I don't agree with fear mongering, which only makes it harder for me to keep non-political types involved in the shooting sports. Having held non-partisan local elected office, I can also say from personal experience that it makes it a lot harder to get to consensus and meaningful reform when everyone is forced to choose sides in advance.

If you're able to share at all, why not just answer the question here? If you can share the info at all, then it can be shared here, for all to see, as many of us, myself included, would like to see the answer.

Apparently this was why the NRA headquarters range was closed this weekend...

Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA, Tim Mak
Dutton

[QUOTE]'Misfire' is a scathing look at nepotism, fraud and corruption in the NRA[

The National Rifle Association — once one of the most well-known and influential lobbying organizations in the country — is a wounded beast.


Tim Mak's Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA might be the final blow in terms of exposing the organization's rotten core and showing how a boundless love for money and power — as well as nepotism, fraud, and corruption — have been eating away at the NRA's foundations for a long time.
