I've been an NRA Life Member since 1977, upgraded to an Endowing Member about 5 years ago, and have been a regularly contributing Golden Eagle ($200+ per year) for the last 5 or 6 years. Since the 2000 election I have contributed a total of at least $2,000 to the NRA's political and legislative activities. Although I am not going to cancel my membership, I HAVE JUST STOPPED MAKING ANY CONTRIBUTIONS UNTIL THEY CLEAN HOUSE AND GET RID OF THE LIBS. I strongly urge everyone else here to do the same. This, and the NRA's tacit support for Obama's DISCOLSE Act are TOTAL DISGRACES.

“CLEAN HOUSE AND GET RID OF THE LIBS.”
Methinks the NRA has been infiltrated by the libs. This would never have happened 20 years ago.

Agreed. I first joined in 1964 and am now dismayed at the course they are steering. They are now apparently sacrificing principle for preferential treatment. Looks like I’ll be giving more to SAF and CCRKBA.

The NRA called me yesterday for a donation. I let him have it for a couple of minutes regarding the Disclose Act. I specifically told him the NRA sold out fellow Americans by sacrificing their first Amendment rights to keep the NRA’s second Amendment rights. I concluded by telling him to him to got to h*ll.

It sounds like the NRA is a gonner. And I was going to become a Life Member, this year.

I've always hesitated to join the NRA, because it seems antithetical to the concept of the Bill of Rights that it requires a political action committee to validate each clause.
Sadly, if the NRA falls apart, or is infiltrated by leftists and we've elevated it to the level of the 2nd Amendment's bodyguard, then the 2A becomes vulnerable.

The libs have penetrated the staff and are driving wedges into the organization as fast as they can. The only cure is what the NRA and gun owners did to Smith & Wesson when it did its ill-fated deal with the Devil (aka the Clinton administration), a TOTAL BOYCOTT followed by a COMPLETE HOUSECLEANING.
To: libstripper
This proves the maxim - if an organization is not specifially conservative, it will eventually drift leftward.

Anyone who offers constructive criticism to the almighty NRA is an idiot.

Actually, IIRC, something like this did happen about 20 years ago. It produced a revolution among the Life Membes, followed by a complete housecleaning and the rejuvenation of the NRA. IT MUST HAPPEN AGAIN!!
To: libstripper
as a life member myself, who just this past Christmas gave life memberships to my 3 sons... I must check into this more, assuming that this one so called journalist has all the facts is doubtful and sounds like they are trying to split the membership with this article.
I must reiterate what I have mentioned here before....the NRA is NOT a conservative or libertarian organization. It is a Pro 2nd amendment organization who will back A and B rated politicians who are liberal on other issues and will not back 90% conservative politicians who are weak on the 2nd amendment.
It has been that way since the 1960s when I first joined up...and I don't necessarily believe that is a bad thing as they are a strictly 2nd amendment organization

This is hard to figure. I was thinking of joining the NRA for the first time, but now I’ll watch/wait for awhile.

As one board member told me, "The bottom line is Chris (Cox) wants to have all decisions go through him and have no board involvement in decisions about or communications with Congress. He was the problem with the DISCLOSE Act. He's the issue re the SCOTUS nominees." Chris Cox needs to go, preferably with tar and feathers.

Sadly, the NRA started falling apart years ago. They now support many aspects of gun control and the left wing agenda that even 10 years ago they opposed.

The sooner people start donating to true 2nd amendment organizations in competition with the NRA instead of to the NRA the sooner the competitior organizations will grow in strength. This may also have the added benefit of getting the NRA back on mission.

what in Gods name is the rationale the NRA is going with here. I dont know what Kagans views are with guns specifically i make the assumption a liberal anti-gunner though i have not see anything to confirm or refute this. Why on earth would the NRA not want to at least ask questions regarding her gun-rights stance?

The Second Amendment Sisters were right on top of the Katrina Gun Grab issue, immediately denouncing it and getting the ball rolling. The NRA came late to the party and as the big dog, got more credit than they deserved.
