It’s election time and there are NRA board members who need to go

[Westbrook]

I’m a lifer and a voting member.

Is there a better alternative running against him?

[Envisioning]

Thanks for the reminder.

Banglist (((ping)))

[C. Edmund Wright]

The NRA is a conundrum - very important to us now, but guilty of a lot of piss poor decisions over the years. They enable a lot of radical Democrats in leadership by supporting so-called “pro gun” Democrats in certain elections - just to prove to the haters how friggin bipartisan they are. Big organization, mostly good, but guilty of many many sins....

[Squantos]

Yep ..... He needs to be voted off the NRA board along with a few others that have no business there.......

He won’t get my vote.

[JohnPierce]

There is no direct head-to-head elections for individual positions. The way the NRA election works, it is best to just vote for 25 candidates and make sure he isn’t one of them.

“a few others that have no business there.......”

Yes, who are they? so we can, not vote for them.

[oldtimer]

I would like to know who else to vote for or against.

[OKSooner]

I recently, for reasons that ought to be obvious, swallowed my pride and re-joined the NRA. (Come to think of it, I haven't received my new card or any magazine yet... wonder what's up with that...)

For those who want to vote a 2nd Amendment board, please come on out and name names. I can vote for Nugent and Froman, names that I recognize, but otherwise I'm having trouble separating the shooters from the "Fudds" with their "Fudd" guns.

[Red Steel]

Vote him off.

[MileHi]

Shame that.

He was on a local radio show a while back talking about his book with Rich Wyatt of American Guns (not impressed with Rich or his snobby shop). He seemed like a cool old ranger with a pretty good life story.

Now I find he is just another law enforcement snob who doesn't think us “civilians” can be trusted with RKBA as written by the founders.

Oh well, the NRA supported leftist dems here in 2010, so I stopped supporting them after 28 or so years.

[JohnPierce]

I haven’t received my magazine (with ballot) either yet. I called them today and they said that if I don’t get it by March 1, then they will send me a replacement ballot.

[Cold Heart]

Thanks. I was wondering about who NOT to vote for.

Bump for any further names.

[ebshumidors]

Bflr

[Jay Redhawk]

Thanks for the input because I did not know anything about him. His biography seems okay, but that is only a short snippet. Who else needs to go? My ballot is only a foot away.

[JohnPierce]

I am not aware of any particular issues with any other candidates but if anyone does, I would love to hear about it since I have to eliminate 3 more before sending in my ballot.

[2001convSVT]

Yes, I would like to know who will support the 2nd Amendment like the Founders Fathers original intended it.

[DCBryan1]

Yep....first question to all 28 is: "Do you support legislation that would repeal the machinegun ban for civilians (18 USC 922(o))?

If their answer is NO, kick their ass off the board!

[Darren McCarty]

Is Don Young the same guy as the Alaska pol, or someone else.

I know Carol Bambery. She's good.

[DCBryan1]

If you guys would do me a favor, on your NRA ballot, turn it over and write in:

I'm alot more pro-gun than half the people on this list and can prove it by the first powerpoint slide in my CCW lesson: "This course is Bullshit! You should not have to pay the governement a fee for your God-given right to self defense that is being infringed upon". I have no fear of law abiding citizens with any type of weapons system below....but am terrified of violent felons with a sharpened screwdriver or bat.....and politicians that allow them to breed, vote, and be recidivists.

I also believe that we need to repeal NFA of 1934, GCA of 68, FOPA of 86, etc.

I also believe that we should disband the ATF as an agency, fire every ATF agent and inspector immediately, and furthermore, by legislation, bar anyone ever having been employed or contracted by the ATF from ever holding a law enforcement position at the federal, state, local, tribal, or county level.

As far as what you can own.....If you can bear it, you should be able to walk into a gun store and walk out with it. A Mk 19? No problem....bring a trailer and your buddies.

Grenades? NO problem....just store them properly and don't set them off after 9pm when I go to bed.

Want a tank or APC? No problem....keep it on your side of the road.

Howitzer? No problem.....just don't let your rounds hit my cattle or tear up my fence....and don't wake me up past 9pm.

Nukes and chemical weapons.....sure, if you make them yourself. Store them outside of lethal/residual radius of any occupied structure and test them in the Middle East /sarc

A billionaire wants an aircraft carrier and wing? No problem....just make sure you don't screw up my favorite fishing hole.....

THAT, my friends is the original intent of the founding fathers.

Please write my name in ;)
