Opinion
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Over the last couple of months, I’ve been tough on the National Rifle Association. Not the organization itself, not the fine folks who dedicate themselves to their careers within the halls of the HQ, certainly not it’s cause or its ability to fight for my rights, but rather, stupid stuff, like poor decision making by a select few, ridiculous expenditures that make them look bad, and boneheaded business arrangements that are now crumbling. I’m allowed to do that because I’m a long-time voting member and my dues pay the bills. I believe that entitles me to speak out. If a few at the top don’t like my opinion, well, that’s OK too – but today I’m coming to their defense.
Why? Because I’m a member. Yeah, I want to see some changes made at the top, but that doesn’t preclude me from coming to the defense of the organization when the lefty freedom haters pile on in their daily attempt to put the NRA out of business. My criticism of the NRA comes as a member, a member who wants to see the organization back in its fighting prime – that prime that strikes fear in the heart of every gun-grabbing politician walking the halls of Congress.
We tend to forget when our enemies attack us relentlessly, it’s because we’re good at what we do, they fear us, and we’re right. Hence, they bring out the big guns in their attempt to castrate us and our message. This tactic is nothing new, and the NRA has borne the brunt of the hate-fueled gun grabber attacks for several decades now. But this time it’s different. They smell blood and are circling like a group of well-tuned Orca’s surrounding their prey. Every lefty politician, every useful idiot David Hoggish teenage know-it-all and every progressive Kool-Aide drinker voter now actually believes they can “defeat the NRA.” Heck, Old Man Joe Biden is now making “defeating the NRA” a mainstay of his presidential campaign. Take this from Fox News:
Former Vice President Joe Biden pledged on Tuesday to “defeat the National Rifle Association” as part of his 2020 campaign promise to fight for school safety. “As President, he will secure passage of gun legislation to make our students safer, and he knows he can do it because he’s defeated the National Rifle Association twice before,” Biden’s plan, released on Tuesday, read. It stated part of the plan to “defeat” the NRA included supporting legislation that banned “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines.
So there you have it. Joe Biden (and the rest of the Clown Posse) are hell-bent on “defeating the NRA.” But just what does that mean?
As a transitive verb “defeating,” “defeated,” or “defeats” means “to make obsolete, to destroy.” As a noun, the word “defeat” means “frustration by nullification or by prevention of success.” Or it can mean “obsolete–destruction, an overthrow-especially of an army in battle” or “the loss of a contest.” (See Webster’s) The question then becomes, how does Joe Biden aim to “defeat the NRA?” Is he trying simply to defeat it in the battle of ideas, not necessarily seeking its destruction as an entity but instead swaying public opinion to his ideals thereby enabling him to claim “victory” over the NRA? Does it mean he wants to see the NRA obliterated, or as Webster’s defines it, made “obsolete?”
Either way, as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter. In my opinion, every one of the Clowne Posse socialists running for president would all stand up and cheer if the NRA somehow folded shop. Every one of them, including creepy Joe Biden. No doubt in my mind. For this reason, whenever we hear this rhetoric heating up, and the left uses the phrase “defeat the NRA,” we must realize, no matter what our thoughts are currently about perceived fiduciary mismanagement at the top of NRA, the left is seeking OUR destruction, our total annihilation. The end of our right to bear arms as we know it. Their reference to “NRA” is simply a euphemism for YOU, the gun owning America public
I remain hopeful that the National Rifle Association can and will overcome its current, albeit, self-inflicted wounds to once again forcefully, swiftly and powerfully strut the halls of Congress striking fear in the hearts of our Socialist enemies (formerly known as the Democrats) who seek to end our way of life.

I’m just stunned that you people take his comment literally. Are you becoming this deaf as a movement? Are you so numbed by echo chambers and Alex Jones conspiracy theories that you have surrendered your ability to think?? Next Swalwell will be an undercover Brit sent through time from the late 18th Century to destroy us all; sadly I would not be surprised to hear this from the Infowars crowd who question the Moon landing and Michelle Obama’s gender. This is not normal, folks; you’re better than this. Your children are watching. He’s making a point, with humor, and it… Read more »
They murder unarmed babies and now want your guns. Only a fool would think they will treat you better once disarmed………………………………………………………………………..
Don’t forget, NRA is using members dues and donations to fund the lawsuits they are involved in with their pr. company. Each is trying to prove the other one is a crook at members expense. What right do they have to do that? There is no penalty if we don’t contribute to their overbearing neglect of members and their total disregard of members. There are enough other gun groups to defend our rights and lets face it, this one is doing nothing for us. If they were true to the cause we could ask them to defend us against this… Read more »
For now I will remain a member of the NRA but I have also joined the SAF.
Well – Progressive traitors to the constitution ARE getting elected to power – and they ARE succeeding in passing their citizen disarmament laws – and their laws ARE being upheld by progressive district court justices – and in the end these unconstitutional laws ARE being IGNORED by gun owning American Citizens. MASS NON-COMPLIANCE! No SonOfABitch can look more SMUG about it all than Andrew Cuomo. They accomplished getting laws on the books – they think that they have won – because . . . no one has started shooting them as of yet . . . because . . .… Read more »
“Joe Biden, did you wander away from the assisted living nursing home again? Please come back, you know you are confused and lost, come back so the nice nurse can give you your meds and put you to bed so you can take a nappie poo, and when you wale up the nice nurse will give you a enema and walk you to the bathroom so you can go pottie!”
Self inflicted wounds?
Really?
Wayne needs to go wash his hands. There’s N.R.A. Blood on them.
Do you really believe that N.R.A. Executives treating contributions like their own personal piggybank is acceptable?
You’d have to be stupid to let Wayne push out any reform efforts, and pick up where he left off.
My God, he has already taken much more than five million dollars out of the N.R.A in personal compensation, and retirement. What does he have to do to get you’re attention, sell the N.R.A Building?
The last thing the leftist want is for the NRA to fold. They’d lose one of they’re easiest “villains” to upon which to take cheap shots.
Uh oh, watch out…Joe Biden is out to sniff our hair, fondle our bodies and try to kiss us , while he attempots to strip us of our 2nd Amendment rights.
‘Pedo Joe Biden could not beat his way out of a wet paper sack with a basebal bat. I believe he’ll crash and burn. We need to totally defeat the DNC. And jail them for the treasonous seditous bastards they are. All legally and by the law of course. Let’s defeat the DNC! TRUMP 2020! MAGA
