NRA chief LaPierre to get 57% pay raise

[Jaybird1980]

I think that if they remain in NY they are gonna be in hostile territory no matter who the leadership is. I think that a 2a friendly state should reap the benefits of the NRA not NY.

Trump doesn't need my money to win the election.

The NRA just might need the money to educate all the new woke gun owners how their vote effects their 2A rights.

this whole line of reasoning, “um, eh, ya, okay, I guess they’re corrupt. BUT WE NEED THEM!” is irrational. There will never be such a time, you will always say that we need them too much now, and their corruption will never be reigned in if everyone thought like that. The NRA will be lost sooner with WLP than without him. We need a CREDIBLE NRA to represent and serve law abiding gun owners.

Is the NRA "in" New York, any more than they're "in" Indiana, or California, or Texas? I thought they were a Delaware corporation, with HQ in Fairfax, VA.

I do not know how much the NRA spends on assets in NY, vs Indiana or any other state. I think having assets in NY is not good, but it may very well be necessary.

Apply this logic to voting for R's vs D's so I can understand the similarities and differences.

I believe I read they were "chartered" in NY, whatever that means...

From what I've read in this article according to point #3 moving the NRA charter from NY at this point is likely not possible.

From what I've gathered from this article Mz James will likely not be successful in this endeavor with this attempt to heighten her career.

It’s not as applicable in a two party voting system. With the NRA, it’s not the case that we have a binary choice where the other choice could actually be worse than WLP.

I'm not enamored with Wayne and wouldn't cry if a suitable replacement came along. I do think it is important to pick people who have been loyal to the organization to prevent a hostile takeover that would weaken or even destroy the association. I've heard enemies of the NRA make statements which on the surface sound somewhat reasonable and they purport to speak for the membership when, if fact, they want to take us down. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Well, between the supposed friends that want to starve the NRA of donations to a pristine organization and enemies that are trying to just shut the NRA down, congratulations to both camps, I have received NO NRA election materials at all this election cycle.

Of course not. Wayne spent the mailing money on suits.

Allegedly

No need to clutter up the USPS - gots the intertoobs for that:
