The NRA Loses One Million Members

New financial documents detail the severe erosion of the gun group's membership.

www.thetrace.org

I'm an NRA member. Not going anywhere. My eyes have been opened to their wasteful spending and greedy attitude. I'm still not going anywhere. I'm actually diversified with GOA and 1791 in Erie County.

I'd like to think that a million members just sent a message to piss poor leadership and hopefully they'll pull their heads out of their asses.

The 5th column media has also done a great propaganda job on the NRA.

I also see a million sunshine patriots who signed up when it best suited them.

I hope the million who quit voted in recent elections. NY gun owners certainly didn't.

 

[meketrefe]

oh, the NRA is still in business?
I assumed most people would have switched to other organizations that have integrity and accountability and are actually doing something for the 2A, like GOA for example.

And now we wait for the apologists.

What hits your inbox first?
We need more Money!
We are sorry?

 

[repete]

I used to be a member but dropped them when all the shit started coming out, If they ever get their shit together, I'll rejoin. No one ever said you could only have one gun group.

 

[Modean]

Sorry, they won’t see a dime from me until LaPierre is gone. Hard stop.

Nope.

The only reason for the BoD keeping Wayne and his cronies around at this point has to be because they believe getting rid of him and cleaning house would be more damaging to the NRA corporation and to BoD members themselves. Something very big has not yet come to light.

NRA life member and will always be not that I think there doing a stellar job but who's better

 

[kev74]

One million members so far.

I'm a life member and then some. I'm not quitting. But I had been paying for my wife's membership year to year. I'm done with that.

I don't think anything will change without outside persuasion. This will likely be the removal of Wayne and the board and the appointment of an administrator.

The ones that are filing the lawsuits right now so there’s 3-4 that are way better. GOA and FPC are the top two IMO. NYSRPA is better as well.

They are certainly doing more for us here in NY than the NRA has done in years.

For what it's worth, NRA paid for NYSRPA vs. Bruen.

I had no clue on this. How did you find this out?

I don't remember. It may have been The Reload. Or Tom Gresham.

Was also stated by NRA president, but I didn't believe him. I believe Gresham and Gutowski.

I have a feeling this is why NYSRPA has done ZERO victory laps or fundraising after the Bruen win. The case was theirs in name only so NRA would have standing, but NRA got to claim the victory as a fundraising tool - without competition from NYSRPA.

The NRA is NYSRPA when they win and not associated when they lose.

I already have 2 spots on the apologist bingo board so far from this thread.

Please let's get a "AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? HMMMMMM!?"

Did NRA not pay for the lawsuit?

I have no idea if they took credit this time, or if they distanced themselves from us "violent extremists" a la Tom King.

When you're a life member the only way out is a pine box.

You took issue with me saying NRA paid for the Bruin suit. I asked if they didn't pay. Then you mentioned taking credit.

Good talk.

Damn.... Its like a gang. Or the mob!

Good talk.

Let me expand the sentence to make it a really good talk:

"I'm not sure if the NRA took credit for paying for this lawsuit as they tend to be nothing more than fair weather blowhards that can't wait to claim victory as the ball crosses into the end zone and turn tail and leave their members out to dry if they do much as organize a peaceful protest, and as such whether or not they kicked a few bucks to the suit is as irrelevabt as the other bingo board space of 'but they paid for some repairs/ammo for my range."

 

[FrankenCub]

fuck the NRA. I'm sure they've got more back door legislation they're helping draft for more gun control.

 

[pshift]

No!

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Can anyone name 1 thing they've done to help us here in NY with our infringements?

They have no purpose and they're dead to me. Useless money grabbers.

I think They turned their backs on us because they need states like NY and our laws to keep donations pouring in from other locations. They probably conducted a study and realized they will get more money if people have something to fear. So they are totally content sacrificing us for their interests. "donate to the NRA so you don't end up like NY" while in reality what they should have done was fight like hell against safe in the first place which would have been huge to stop this bs in it's tracks in the beginning.

Nope. Piss off.

 

[SonOfSun]

GOA > NRA

That is all.

From a legislative, political and public relations standpoint they do nothing for New York. It's not that they can't. They see 2A as a partisan issue and absolutely, positively will not talk with Democrats.

They have some value with legal actions, but I think either SAF or FPC could easily take that over. Their primary asset is through E&T.

 

[Apeman]

Like some of you I'm a lifetime member. I'm not planning on quitting either but I'm also on the list of those who will never give them another penny.

This is another reason why their donations will continue to decline and they're too stupid to see why. At some point the number of members quitting will stop but even after that happens the money will stop coming in because they've screwed up so bad that nobody will donate anymore

 

[Willyone]

I read somewhere that the NRA was somehow behind or involved in or with the NYSRPA success in the recent Bruen decision. I'm too lazy to google it...

I was an NRA member for a looong time but let my membership lapse a few years ago. I didn't re-up due to all of the NRA insider bullshit. Plus it didn't seem like they were doing anything for gun owners here in NY State. Lately the NRA seems to be about DOA. I hope they reorganize, get their shit all in one pile, and start fighting the good fight again.

 

[Acer-m14]

i just seen a thread here .. the BOD kicked James from Project Veritas to the curb ..

NRA BOD can not do that to Wayne .. LOL ..

Yes the NRA did pay most of the Two Million $ that the case cost. ( @ 6:40 if you don't want o watch the whole video )
