Go to their website and read up on what they do Gpa, they're getting things done and could use more support.

Gun Owners of America website.

Thats probably because they spend our money to get results for us instead on TV adds begging for more money.

They're not big enough to do much YET.

Their yearly intake is around 2.5 million and keeping with the crux of this thread, around 10% of that goes to the Executives.

We need them all, make no mistake about it. The democrats don't hate the NRA because they're anti-gun.

It is still the best thing we have going, let's not give the anti gun folks what they want; divide and conquer.

Its one of my favorite urban legends. But....its just that....a legend. The Jap admiral never said that.

I was a NRA member back in the 90s. I liked that they sejt me a magazine and gave me a decal to be show my support. That was before the internet and greater coverage and transparency. Now I figure my resources can be used better otherwise.

They have over 2 million members and growing, the intake is a bit more than 2.5 mil. You ask the dems who they'd rather negotiate with lol.

Whining about money and vague accusations is all I'm hearing here.

Actually, if the democrats read this thread they are smiling since we are accomplishing what they want to do. Destroy the NRA. I doubt they care about the GOA and by the time the GOA gets big enough to accomplish their goals, it may be too late for gun owners. Support both organizations.

So you think Wayne Lapierre is worth 3 million $ per year ?? What has the NRA done to counter NY’s SAFE Act ????

I’m a life member and the NRA will not receive another penny from me until he’s gone.

Lapierre has been a resolute leader.

The changing face of the SCOTUS is becoming much more logical for dragging Cuomo into court. Fight to win, don't fight to lose.

After searching I found their most recent tax filing, 2018.

They listed 4.4 million, up from 2.2 million in 2017. Big donations ? Good , hope people keep donating to go. Groups!

As far as memberships I don't know how they count them. But the numbers I posted are the tax filings I found.

The good never gets credit with some !!

The NRA has become an arm of the Republican Party, and I'm an Independant.

Not sure that is an accurate statement since the NRA grades candidates from all parties. Trouble with Dems is that most of the time the Republicans earn a much higher grade. That said like it or not we have a 2 party system. Partys come and Partys go but unless you are with one of the 2 major parties your voice is quickly lost.

I now joined both the GOA and SAF and NRA will not see my money until there is change, Colion Noir would be my pick for sure. https://www.youtube.com/user/MrColionNoir

Let go of your pride. Lots of us have supported the NRA. If you don't agree with Nancy Pelosi and the NRA that "common sense gun control" is a real thing then quit sending them money. The only shame is refusing to admit you were wrong.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

I am also a member of this organization , actually a life member. They are sorta related to the SAF.


I understand some people's frustration currently with the NRA. One of the frustrations is they constantly badger you for money. I get it too. Funny thing is I am a Benefactor life member , the highest level of paid membership. They really can't sell me a higher level. But they still badger me for things like the 'golden eagles' thing and other stuff like very pricey dinners to sit near high level officials at donor dinners.

It is a PIA to get pestered all the time , but remember the other side is scooping up every dollar they can to fight the 2nd amendment. It is a battle of money , lawyers and lobbyists. The other side has a lot of that at their fingertips.

I get mad every time I think about how many of my dollars went to the NRA only to have them support the national gun owner registry
