N.Y. AG vs NRA

[BigRed]

Welp, here we go?
New York a.g. suing to disband nra...

I suspect it isn't LaPierre and the NRA the ***** wants so badly. It's the firearms in the hands of individuals.

Want them? Come get them, *****.

As much as we in the gun community see the NRA as less than a perfect partner, the anti-gun crowd sees it as the primary impediment to them taking our guns away.

We throw around terms like "fraud", "corruption" and "stealing", but these terms have specific definitions...none of which apply when the management has the power to authorize spending and do so, no matter how unwise it is. Horrible management usually is not a crime, but's a great reason to clean house and reorganize.

How does one go about changing management when the board and trustees care less about exorbitant spending practices?

That may change once the legal system starts to dig into their business.

I like the fact that the left hates them.

What rights do members have? It's through that or nothing.

The NRA started the downhill during the 70's and 80's, its a shame that Neal couldn't hang on and then years later to move to Fair Oaks... What were they thinking....
The move should have been to West Virginia.

Guy Relford was just interviewed (briefly) on WTHR about this. He seemed to think that they may have a case if they can prove financial shenanigans with membership fees and donations. If they're being used to enrich LaPierre and others and not for their stated use (ie. fighting for the 2A causes), then that's a no-no.

If the voting process can't make changes ..... The membership is stuck...

I think we need to get some prosecutors that have the gonads to go after BLM, MoveOn and other anti-american organizations. Let's follow the money trails, money laundering and such. It's about time we fight fire with fire.

Personally I see this as a win, win. If nothing else, I bet they absolutely did everything by the book. At the same time, Mr. Pierre's issues are at least well rumored. At any rate he has had too much power for too long, especially after the events of last year.

I think the NRA will have to shake things up after this anyhow. At the same time, I think it will also show just how biased NY is and maybe move the organization to a more friendly state.

 

[RCB]

Also worth noting the annual meeting is in a few weeks.

Ol, Wayne is nothing more that a slick salesman!

We (INGO) had a big discussion about this not long ago I think many were satisfied with Wayne’s leadership?
That dude can put a prosperity preacher to shame with his antics.

I am anything butt pleased.

In my home we have three life members, three votes is all I believe I can offer. Maybe the younger generation of life members will have a coup that actually takes control.

 

[7hatGuy]

I just dont want my 2A rights affected in any way.

The good thing about the NRA regardless as to it's true stance on the 2nd, is they were always the proverbial 400 pound gorilla in the room that scared the heck out of many politicians. The sad part of the NRA is that they seemed to forget who and what they stood for and was all too willing to negotiate rather than demand the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

As to the NY AG, it appears to be a massive Hail Mary pass.

 

[Hoosierkav]

Even if it is a failed legal action, plenty of damage can be done in the court of public opinion. As much as people are gun-buying crazy, I'd wager a large % haven't substantially changed their views on the common sense reforms that are needed to rid our nation of the scourge of gun violence.

 

[CampingJosh]

Honestly, I would be more surprised if the claims made against LaPierre and co. are false than if they are true.

I drank the NRA Koolaid and became a Life Member in 2014.I kept getting fundraising calls at least once a month and after looking closer
realized that the board was controlled by Wayne and his buddies and the members had no real say in what went on.
I started getting frustrated when the paid fundraisers called and started telling them what I thought about Wayne when they called.
Funny thing is after about 3 or 4 calls they stopped calling!
GOA gets my money now and I hope that many people will start shifting their support to them.
I hope that Wayne and his buddies get what they deserve but I hope that this results in a complete overhaul of the NRA rather than being shut down by the radical Dem NY attorney general.If only Wayne had done the right thing!

Why not support both?

 

[Punkinhead]

Why not support both?

If someone came to your door and said, "If you give me $100 I'll spend $1 of it on finding a cure for childhood lukemia and the rest on trips to the Bahamas and Armani suits" would you support him? After all, childhood lukemia is a worthy cause.
