Hickok45 ^ | 6-25/2019 | Hickok45

Hickok45: "We have high hopes that the NRA will come out of all this strong, lean, and more effective; however, we've come to the tough decision that we can no longer take support from the NRA or continue to use our brand to ask people to join. It was not easy yesterday to tell the NRA folks we needed to part ways, but they were very professional about it and understood.

Someone will troll this as old news, but I searched and didn't see it. So here it is, for the benefit of those to whom it matters who haven't heard it yet. I believe on the same day, or very soon after Chris Cox was suspended from NRA-ILA and in light of the other dirty laundry that's come out in the last few weeks.

I have been a fan of Hickok45 for a long time as well as being a Patron member. I feel for him and John as it would not be an easy decision. It was not them who walked away from the NRA, but the NRA from them. I am 100% behind the NRA as an Organization and have Benefactor Membership; but there actions of late, leave me perplexed also. I could not honestly ask anyone to support them in good conscious.

I do not want the NRA to become like Google (too big, and too elite) The NRA has to clean house and remember why they are the NRA.

Would you care to elucidate on that rather cryptic statement, for those of us who aren’t clairvoyant?

I’m a big Hickok46 fan. Not so much the NRA (too liberal.)

I wonder if they believe their channel may be You Tube censored if they are too NRA supportive?

I appreciated your comments, but we have to recognize that Wayne Lapierre cares only for one thing: bringing in money to his organization. I usually call it the NRE No Reason to Exist, though he is most useful to Rinos in that he gives them cover as they compromise away out rights. Wayne Lapierre himself said, “We only fight battles we can win...” meaning of course we surrender in advance!

God bless Ollie North and Chris Cox. God bless Hickok45. You are not alone. I hope this ain’t over. I hope we win.

Had a girlfriend one time that broke up with me. Told me we could still be friends.

I forget her name...

Maybe there are infiltrators in the NRA.

Hickok45 is fun to watch. He does more for me than the NRA.

The level of chaos in NRA suggests infiltration to me. And I mean Soros, not GOA.

If Hickok45 says it, I believe it.

I know they cautioned us against going with conspiracy theories, but as I was watching the video, I was thinking the same thing.

It seems as if there are conspiracy theories everywhere now. They’ve become the new Stereotype.

I wonder what Colion Noir will do.

I’m sure that Yankee Marshal is tickled pink.

Leftists, communist, palm greasing.... Look the communists have infiltrated the nation’s public school system, federal & local governments, national mainstream media, etc. Heard of controlled opposition media? We’ve turned our backs on numerous “so called conservatives” who turned out to be supportive of the left.

You are naive if you think the NRA can’t be infiltrated by the left. Time for them to be strict about policy, procedures etc. NRA needs to get back to their prime point.

Who, me? You talkin' to me? :)

When did I ever say such a thing?

Basically, leftists are trying to break up the NRA, and people are letting them do it. That’s my take.
Leftists despise the NRA, what it stands for, and those of us who support them and the USA.

Back in the early-mid 90's I used to live very close to the NRA HQ in Fairfax, Va. Visited there a coupla times.
They're living mighty plush off the membership money. d;^)
