Those you mentioned are corporations, which survive by providing a service at a profit to shareholders. Not presidents of a non-profit.


What about Everytown for Gun Safety, Michael Bloomberg and his scams and Gifford and her goonies.

I don't care what the man makes. I would judge him on his performance in relation to that salary.

You've already said you disagree with the performance of the organization and how it's ran...

I got no beef with a principled stance.

But when someone says "He makes $XXX" I usually quit listening... Because it generally translates to, "I don't like him cause he's richer than me."

I don't care what he makes, either. I do admire the NRA's promotion of gun safety training (as long as it's not government mandated) and the promotion of shooting sports.

Riding for free? What u tokkin bout Willis? Are you going to go down the pro-union road with this gun rights idea? Those that aren't in the union are ridin' for free off those who pay dues? If so, I'll walk down that road with you and debate.

OK, If the NRA would change their name to " The united brotherhood of rifle owners" could we get you to join? They could make you honorary "BA" or somethin. They already got the cool shirts and hats and stuff. Probably get your employer to take your dues right outa your paycheck.

But there are other translations. You said yourself that you judge performance in relation to salary. That also means you judge salary in relation to performance. In either event, you're saying, you want to know whether his performance justifies his salary.

We know the salary. It's an objective number. So the question is, how do we judge his performance to know whether he earns his salary?

I'm too radical for your club, regardless of name change. The history of compromise remains. However, I don't believe your clubhouse dues make you 'pull the wagon' in anyway more effectively than what I am doing. You pull your wagon down the road of compromise. I wont.

There seems to be alot you don’t do or don’t support but i don’t here any real solutions. So without the NRA, do you actually have a legitimate plan that will work to defeat gun control? I’m not talking about you and the five other people who refuse to work with what we have been dealt as far as govt. I’m talking about what will work under the current circumstances and the federal govt. Most people don’t want govt anymore than you do but most accept the fact that it’s not going anywhere.

THE very reason I didn't renew my membership. He is overpaid. MONEY MONEY thats the deal. Yes you can quote his salary but his "expense" account is were the big bucks come in. Wonder how many of his members make that. Only difference in the NRA and a cult is no animal sacrifices. LOL

Cult=
multi -generational members
give to the cause( dues)
follow the leader regardless of direction or righteous causes
no changing or compromise of beliefs

did I leave anything out?

When, since we can all admit compromise is name of the game, will the second amendment be watered down enough that it no longer has anything to do with what the Constitution plainly says? And what will YOU do about it then?

Are you suggesting we lock and load? Don't care much for joining groups for defense and/or compromise of a God given right, but the alternative could get quite messy.

Does anyone else here think that taking extreme positions may blow up in gun-owners' faces?

Lapierre is the wrong face to be showing to the public these days.

If you watched Lapierres speech at CPAC and didn't say" ah (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) Yah" at least ten times, I guess you just don't get it. And you probably wont ever. Maybe you should stick to, I dont know, like planned parenthood rallies and such.

I don't expect gun owners have much of a choice but to take an extreme position. The anti side is blaming a group of law abiding gun owners for the actions of a mad man. Now that is an extreme and irrational position.
