I think the Colonel needs to stand down.

Neal Knox versus Harlon Carter...................... Part 2!

Sure would have been better to keep the fight internal instead of blasting it all over the MSM.

They need to meet on main street at high noon.

It didn't take long for NPR to mention it and it's on the my Internet news feed. I'm sure they're salivating on how to spin it.

Remind me again how much Wayne is worth and then explain to me why NRA's members should have to flip the bill for any of his clothes. From my standpoint it's just another way to suck more money out the the organization even it's only 6800 a year. I wonder if most of 200k hasn't been spent in the last 5 years as to being spread out over the whole 30 yrs.

"Anybody doubting the political clout of the National Rifle Association should speak to the members of Congress-and the now former members-who supported President Clinton's ban on assault weapons as part of the 1994 crime bill. In the campaign cycle surrounding that close vote, the NRA spent some $70 million on political activities, including nearly $7 million through its political action committee, much of it targeting Democrats who had supported the measure. Although polls showed the majority of Americans approved of the weapons ban, the NRA campaign was by most accounts a success. Democrats say the NRA cost them no fewer than 20 seats, and President Clinton told one reporter that "the NRA is the reason the Republicans control the House." Speaker Newt Gingrich, meanwhile, has promised the group's service will be rewarded: "As long as I am Speaker of this House," he wrote in a letter to an NRA official, "no gun control legislation is going to move.""

I can see how the NRA has lost its way in recent times. I don't have a dog in this fight and am not a fan of either and it seems that some resolutions have come about. North saw no problem lying to Congress and then years later decided to run for the senate. I guess behaviors don't change much over time. As to members, it is interesting that millions may not be accounted for regarding adds etc. and people are carping over 200K in clothes over 30 years. I agree Wayne could buy his own duds but he was representing 4 million members and millions of other gun owners, but that demonstrates to me that in many ways the NRA and members have become more personality based then principle based and those things always go in cycles and the infighting gets out into the public where things can unravel quickly Hard to state that the NRA is the stalwart guardian of our rights when they can easily by infiltrated by Russian government spies.

Considering that Le Pierre Only made 5.1 million in 2012 and even less per year since then, members should up their donations.

I sent them (NRA) a hundred dollars yesterday because I don't pay dues, life member. Still the most powerful voice individual second amendment supporters have IMO.
