You don’t seem to understand, the NRA has never been an advocacy group. They were for Clinton’s Sporting Rifle Ban, Bump Stock Bans, Red Flag laws should I continue? Until they purge the entire current Board and replaced with reformers the NRA will never have a “mission” other than to separate your money from your wallet.
Have any idea what WLP did prior to the NRA? He was a K Street Lobbyist specializing in dimocRAT issues.
William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis." Since then, the NRA has been the premier firearms education organization in the world.
LaPierre represents only recent history and, like so many other institutions, recent leaders have been questionable at best. That should not negate the core functions of the organization, which have been of great benefit to the nation for over a century. BSA would be a similar example. Great org corrupted by poor or corrupt leadership.
You can try to fix the problem or you can throw it all out and try to start new. Both are legit strategies. Both require effort.
I’m almost 70 years old, it’s been like this my whole life. We’ll see what happens.
