Opinion
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- My fellow NRA Member:Since the NRA was founded almost 150 years ago, our adversaries have repeatedly tried to take us down.
Today is no different. A recent burst of media claims the NRA is vulnerable, financially unstable, and weakened in its fight to defend the Second Amendment. Obviously intent on not letting the facts get in the way of a good story, most reports offer a distorted and inaccurate view of the NRA.
As officers and past presidents of the NRA, we write today to set the record straight.

An Important Message From Your NRA Leadership & Past Presidents 2019
About National Rifle Association:

The Association remains the nation’s leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.

The love of money= root of evil. Many other organizations have been corrupted after very much money was donated to them. Check out the Red Cross or United Way. NRA as well? Maybe? If current NRA leadership really believes in the cause they should resign and let other folks take the reins. Take one for the team? If they dont we will know them by their fruit.
Anybody who claims they are a “leader” of a group that has put corporate gun sales profits over common sense gun safety laws is not the kind of person any American citizen can admire. More gun propaganda from the comedy writers at AmmoLand, . Then name summarizes nwhatb the group represents. America has the worst per capita gun violence rate in the developed world thanks to the efforts of there NRA and there gun whackadoodles who feel their “right” to infantry rifles and semi automatic pistols is more imp[ortant then the lives of their fellow citizens. “From my cold dead… Read more »
When I learned that each of my small donations went to buy Wayne Lapierre a shoelace instead of supporting the Second Amendment, I stopped donating.
It’s amazing that a few disgruntled members of a 5,000,000 member association, some (most, all?) of whom have never sat on a board, led a Cub Scout Pack, owned a functioning business, served as leader in an organization larger than a local PTA are able to tell the world how poorly run a 148 + year old association is. It seems that ALL of the programs, which are yet competently run by these ‘greedy, lying, money-grubbing, anti 2A, NRA Bored memberz’ who have no soul or conscience, why is that so? Have the Nay-sayers helped out in ANY of these… Read more »
I don’t know what to think! I’m too far removed from the seats of power, that I don’t have enough reliable data to know what is going on!!
I know the anti 2nd. Amendment folks would like to destroy the NRA. I don’t think That I am willing to walk away & let the NRA die, over hard feelings!!
I will continue to pay my dues & support the organization!! Thanks for letting me voice my opinion!
Gave this piece the respect it deserves.
1. Printed it off
2. Used it to wipe
3. Flushed
To the NRA, its leadership, and all presidents past: You screwed the pooch, betrayed your membership, and are now trying to blame us for leaving by dismissing us as a “left wing conspiracy” against you. Keep digging that hole deeper, you’re going to need it for the burial.
Curiously absent from the ‘past Presidents’ list was good ole ‘bought and paid for’ Col. North! Like me, almost all of my gun club are NRA life members. Their collective complaint is how they are constantly bombarded with phone calls & mailers always asking for MORE money! This is NOT my old NRA! It is the money-grubbing POS advertising company they hired who by the way, also hired North as the new ‘face’ of our NRA. The first time I read one of Ollie’s ‘president messages’ in my Rifleman magazine which was nothing more than some ‘rah-rah hooray for us… Read more »
That letter is such garbage. The NRA didn’t have enemies until it decided to be a money grubbing political group. At it’s founding everyone loved the NRA because of what it stood for.
What an ignorant way to dissuade people from leaving. This letter, from the time I started reading it, screamed of “white washing” and a begging to send money only money. If this is the intelligence of the NRA we know they are no match for the gun grabbers. It got to the point that I was only scanning the letter because the content wasn’t gong anywhere that was any interest to people that did not want their rights taken. It is as clear as daylight, you could see right through it.
Clean house! Do away with everything that doesn’t pertain to shooting – like insurance, books, wine, baubles, etc.
GET THE HELL OUT OF NEW YORK!
