NRA "looted into insolvency"?

[Flash]

The timing of the articles is one thing that troubles me. It comes just as politicians are gearing up for the Presidential elections and that's just a bit too convenient for me.

"TIMING",... does the name BLOOMBERG have any meaning for you?

[curtmini14]

I do wish they would stop sending all that crap in the mail, have opted out several times but it only lasts about six months. Think of the money saved by doing away with all the stupid giveaways and etc.

[Flash]

I get very little mail from the NRA, have never opted out and have been a member off and on since I was around 10 or so. At this point I'm probably at 30 years straight.

I guess they figure I'm broke...

[knockonit]

maybe your mail person is doing you a favor and shiat canning the junk mail

[Flash]

That wouldn't surprise me in the least as I have what has to be the worst mail service in Arizona, but I do get 2 NRA magazines each and every month.

Recently bought something gun related from a guy in Florida. He sent it the next day and the day after that I got a text that it arrived in........Sacramento. It had insurance and tracking and was Priority Mail with 1~3 day delivery.

Then I got a text that it left Sacramento. Then I got another text that it left Sacramento the next day, then again the next day, so it had now left Sacramento 3 times but only arrived there once. For the next 8 days I got a text each day that it was in transit.

Then i got a text that it left Sacramento again. A day after that I got a text that it had been delivered to a place in Stockton California. An hour or two later I looked in my mailbox and there it was. And it only took 12 days.

a little info on the nra situation, while there may still be lingering bad feelings between the knox's and present nra managment, still does not negate the data provided and shown via the nra accounting.

following the money one will find the sames individuals are members of almost all the same special interest groups recieving compensation via your donations.

every organization eventually becomes a kleptocracy, governments included... without the NRA, we will be an airsoft enthusiasts group within a decade.

It's interesting that all the news about this comes from two sources: Jeff Knox and I forget the name of the other one, but it's a liberal rag.

Yes, I notice that in LaPierre's letter he says that North threatened to reveal "devasting" information. Not "scurrilous," not "defamatory," not "false." In other words, he is admitting that the allegations are true. It's like somebody hacked some emails revealing that she spent "charitable foundation" money to pay for Chelsea's wedding and support her lavish lifestyle -- the outrage is not the information itself, but how it was released, right?

Note Mrs. LaPierre is an employee of Ackerman-McQueen. Conflist of interest much? Talk about collusion. Now the two co-conspirators have fallen out. No good guy in this situation.

Power corrupts,... and money just greases the track for an even quicker result,... imo. Sadly, human nature hasn't changed much, even in the past couple of centuries, in the USA. I have come to believe the founding fathers felt that political public service of the People, was best done in limited periods of time, and little to no monetary compensation.

I wonder why!!!

But, those were the days when Patriot devotion and inspiration was in full bloom, for a newly emerging Nation.

In no way is that admitting the allegations are true. If they were true, then the information would be released by now or, if he was actually guilty of something, then he would've folded and given in to the demands.

This is the opposite, this is proof the allegations were false because he called their bluff and won.
