Attended a class last week, and the instructor was bad-mouthing the NRA. He seemed happy that the NRA was having financial problems, and other organizations were stepping in to take over the fight. Apparently, gun owners were not renewing memberships, and not donating money. That coupled with the attacks on the organization by progressive politicians and judiciaries, was causing staff layoffs, reductions in lobbying services, and cutbacks in political donations.
I understand that the NRA has been badly managed, and organization leadership have lived high off the hog using member's dues.
But without the NRA, there would not be a second amendment.
They are solely responsible for organizing gun owners into a potent, political force, and keeping politicians from undermining our rights.
It's true. We need to do a housecleaning at the NRA, and install leaders who are fiscally prudent, and not focused on booking luxury perks for execs.
But every time we attack the NRA, we are going the dirty work of evil progressives, who want us disarmed.
We are facing unprecedented attacks on our second amendment rights. Thanks to Republican incompetence and laziness, we have allowed Marxists to infiltrate our culture, and they have been busy indoctrinating generations into progressive thinking. Those kids grow up to vote far left.
We need every group to fight to preserve our rights. Undermining the NRA is just harming ourselves.
