Filing for bankruptcy?  Not good.
 I donate but certainly not enough to keep them afloat.  Haven't looked into this yet just seeing it on the news now.

2a 2nd amendment

there was a concert in vegas and a guy shot from his hotel room with a ar with a bumpstock at stage/crowd. a bumpstock turns it 'full auto'. the nra agreed they needed to be banned and now they are illegal. :mad: instead of blaming they guy they blamed the tool.

Yes ...agree

 I don't believe a firearm is inherently dangerous.  It's the one pulling the trigger.  I believe that this has been said before.

The NRA appears to have financial issues.  They said they are moving to Texas from New York. I believe there is money grabbing going on.  Their revenue for 2018 was reported to be $412,233,508.  Their expenses were:  $423,034,158.  Looks like they have a profit leak somewhere.

The GOA has about 100,000 members and has only been around for about 30 years.  The NRA has about 5.5 million members and been around for 149 years.  The GOA has criticized the NRA for not fighting harder to protect our gun rights.

I’m a member of both organizations simply to support every effort to stop the radical left from destroying our Constitution.

Based upon the history of tyrannical destruction and mass genocide of societies, our 2nd Amendment is the most critical to maintain.  Once we are defenseless, systematic genocide will begin.

If the 49% of moral Americans do not wake up and fight back, we are doomed and the United States of America as we know it, will be destroyed in a matter of a few years.

To the pathetically ignorant or brain-washed moronic Trump haters out there… If Biden and his socialists do what they have publicized, they will unleash a level of shock ‘n awe that will make your worst nightmare seem like a happy place!  Your Constitution Civil Rights will disappear like a flea fart in a hurricane.

I hope and pray this does not happen, but there are very dark and evil forces out there and they are starting to raise their ugly heads.

Things are going to get worse before they will get better.

That’s just my worthless opinion.

Gnarls.

I definitely dont want to see the NRA go away. I do know a lot of people are not happy with Wayne LaPierre and will not donate until he is gone.

I know that SAF https://www.saf.org/ and GOA https://gunowners.org/ are hard at work putting our donations to good use.

For the Washington State guys that dont know, we are facing a ban on semi auto's https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/?BillNumber=5217&year=2021&initiative=False

And a magazine ban https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?billnumber=5078&year=2021 .We beat these last year by flooding our reps with calls and Emails. Hopefully we can do the same this year

The filing is a preemptive strike against the civil suit filed last year against them, which was done to prevent them from being able to donate to Trump and Republican candidates.

Yes, for a few decades now, the NRA has been practicing a managed reduction in our gun rights while it's leadership gets wealthy.  Their focus should be court battles, not donating to politicians.

The most pathetic and sickening realization for me in this past year has been witnessing the uncovering and exposure, by President Trump, of a level of corruption, greed, and evil that I could not have imagined.

It’s all about the money and people on the take.  It is EVERYWHERE! Look at ANY place in local, state, and federal government, academia, pharmacology, healthcare, manufacturing, Hollywood, the media, environmental, law, big tech, and sadly in the NRA, the list is practically endless!

It’s difficult for me to comprehend how there can be so many evil, self-destructive people living in the United States of America… the greatest nation ever created.

To President Trump.... please start the Patriot Party!!

Screwing the American tax payers out of their hard earned money in absurd taxes (death tax!!), and then lining their own pockets has been going on for decades.  Years ago I remember the $600 toilet seats and more recently Trump telling Boeing “The plane is totally out of control … “It’s going to be over $4 billion for Air Force One program and I think it’s ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money.”

Yeah…. Where is the law and punishment for breaking it?  The laws do not apply to the DC elite!!  Someone gets paid by someone to protect all of them from punishment.

Now the swamp is being exposed and the 74,000,000 American tax payers that voted for Trump are seeing just how deep and wide it really is.

The swamp is going to get drained…. One way or another…. Sooner or later.  :thumbs:

The over priced toilet seats and hammers, is where the "Congress doesn't need to know about this project" or "We can't trust Congress with this project" money comes from.
