I have been a life member for many years, but never got involved in the politics. The latest issues of the NRA magazines have ballots for directors. I never bothered to figure out how the top management gets into office. I think it is time to change some of the top tier. How do we go about doing that?
How to overhaul NRA?

It’s a pain, if you take the time and research these people find out what background they have, political views, what they actually do for a living and etc. Gives you a chance to make a more concerted vote I believe.
Bob Brown's recommendations for NRA BOD.
Bob Brown is in the dump-WLP camp, so I am going with his picks:
Steve Schreiner
Robert Mansell
Tom Arvas
William Carter
John Cushman
Curtis Jenkins
Robert Mansell

That's a good way to lose all power over politicians. The GOA has done very little in its whole existence other than provide a good living for the founders.
No, what needs to be done is replacement of those in power in the NRA.

How? Curious to hear about how to replace the REAL people in power. The GOA has done more in a year than the NRA has done in decades. The politicians like the NRA because they pretend to fight. NRA was completely absent in Virginia, Washington, Oregon...

Takes 5 seconds on Google. Gun owners.org. One thing I can't find though is where the NRA was in Virginia. The GOA was the only challenger to the governor. Only a fudd believes the NRA is a cause for good. Look up why brownell stepped down a month after becoming the new NRA president while you're at it. Maybe it'll open your eyes, doubt it though.
So I did the 5 seconds on google and I got the following:
https://gunowners.org/topten2018/
Went on TV once
Got an award
shot one video
did a congressional scorecard
they wrote articles about red flag laws
spoke at a college
submitted an amicus brief
wrote another article
And that's it. That's all they accomplished in 2018. What did they do with the other 51 weeks that comprised 2018.
And 2019? Apparently they did nothing of note as it's not on their website.
And you can't figure out where the NRA was in Virginia? A 5 second search of Google will turn that up for you. They were there.
No, the GOA exists simply to enrich its founders. It's even worse than the NRA in that regard.
Again, we just need new leadership in the NRA and that'll fix the problem.

The NRA will continue to Negotiate Rights Away but what else would I expect from guys who applaud reagan, bush sr, and other repubs when they screwed (and continue to screw) us. The Dems hate 'em so we love 'em! Good luck getting guys like Wayne out, they have million dollar suits to pay for. I'll give credit where credit is due, I wouldn't step down either if idiots kept pumping money into my account. There is a reason pete brownell stepped down as president, he realized nothing can be done. Funny how everyone shy's away from that. Also, research the NRA Cinncinnati revolt in Ohio (I had family there) People realized a long time ago the NRA was screwing us, it spooked them, and they made damn sure they could keep their power and not have it jeopardized again. If you want the NRA to stick around, whatever, but there should be multiple and equal parties. Ya know, that little thing called checks and balances...There's some old saying about putting your eggs all in one basket, but hey, I'm just a dumb 28 year old millenial, what would I know? Good luck. :handgestures-salute:
well at leaast the last sentence of your post made sense, and its nothing we haven't all known for years, meaning both the millenial comment and the nra comment, only way to change them is to stop the money flow till something is done, but whats your idea, since you are one of great knowledge, lots to say, but any avenue of resolution,

The issue with Brownell what really awoke me (or WOKE me or what ever you want to call it). To this day I have never seen "Why" he stepped down ? Not to many people even want to talk about that ? I have suspicions, and after this last set of issues with another President of the NRA, it becomes clearer.
The problem we have is we can't kill the NRA - the org is way to large where 80% of their members pay their dues and never look back. I quit the NRA back in the 90's after the AWB went into effect and they did nothing to try to stop it. But back then I wasn't as dedicate shooter and never really voted for the BOD. I returned when obozo got elected, because they are still the biggest elephant in the room. I wanted to see them do more, but after finding out that the BOD has no power over management, I said to myself "This is more of a socialist dream than a representative republic" Wayne has never appeared on a Ballot ????? Now we know why after the "Col. North" issue. Unfortunately, voting for the nominated BOD's, until everybody there puts there foot down and QUITS, leaving Wayne by himself, cleaning the barn out is just about impossible. With that I don't bother to vote, means nothing and maybe that is the best protest ? Vote for none, plus write in the removal of WL !
With that, the NRA isn't going to get anymore $ from me until my membership gets close to lapsing (2022). I will continue to support the GOA & of course my beloved AZCDL with yearly donations.
