I have been a member off and on but am not presently as I am not very happy with them at all.

As to the changes, don’t you think that it is just plain common sense to have a provision to remove someone who is detrimental to the group’s effort?

My local group set up our by laws that way so we could never be taken over by anyone hostile to our goals and objectives and we didn’t need high priced lawyers and millions of dollars to do it.

And yes, our group has been very effective in stopping anti gun legislation in the State even when we had to overcome the NRA’s efforts to push bad legislation.

And no, there is not one paid person in our group. It is an all volunteer effort. Sometimes I think that those getting paid don’t really want to solve the problem because it would mean the end to their big paychecks and perks.

Ding...Ding...Ding. We have a winner! Somewhere up the thread I likened it to Je$$e Jackass and the race issue.

It works both ways. NRA is a very large, complex org. I don't think we'd want such a powerful org. to have the ability to kick people out assigned to one individual nor a small group of individuals. The concentration of so much power given to one person or one small group is risky at best. Dangerous at worse.

I neither agree, nor disagree with you. I personally favor a "Board of Governors" as opposed to a Board of Directors. 50 plus one "at large." One from each state. This way members could become acquainted with "their" Governor, instead of 75 plus one at large Directors scattered all about the country.

It may take NRA longer to accomplish this "expulsion," but if it is done it will be done in accordance with members views and not by a select few.

Now you're telling us that you're not even an NRA member?

We went through that whole discussion that you started with me, and you're not an NRA member?

This whole issue doesn't even apply to you.
