“...Ollie North was president of NRA for five minutes a couple of years ago. Soon found out how corrupt it was and split post haste....”
Yes, the old saying about power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, is true. It sure seems true for Joe & Jill Biden. It seemed true for the Obama’s and Clinton’s. It also seems true for various union bosses and La Pierre.
The NRA membership and political strength came from working men and women who didn’t want to support Wayne’s lavish lifestyle, just like most union workers don’t want their dues to pay for union leader’s lavish lifestyle or payoffs to corrupt politicians.
I use to be an NRA member a long, long time ago. I am now a member of several NRA affiliated clubs instead. I think that there are better organizations to support where my dues actually makes a difference. I still write to my elected officials when I learn about anti second amendment legislation.
For sure. NRA great for lobbying but has squandered too much money. GOA, 2nd Amendment Foundation, NAFGR, CCRKBA, etc doing the best with the courts. That’s where my money goes.
