"and the work the NRA does to protect America’s constitutional freedoms.”

Their members realize that this requires expensive Italian suits, and they’re happy enough to see their dues used this way (because they’re imbeciles).

It’s not mismanagement, is outright thievery, and it’s very common in all non-profits from churches to whale conservation groups.

"[T]he group can’t afford to burn through some $100,000 a day on these legal fees, which ‘pose an existential threat to the financial stability of the NRA’.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the NRA victims of this terrible tragedy.

Now is the time for burying the financially-dead, and mourning the fiscal casualties.

It’s just too soon to politicize this horrific massacre.

We have waited too long to watch the NRA be destroyed. Now it is happening, the nation is watching and we can thank a bunch of teenagers for bringing it about.

Ah, I love the smell of grifters self-immolating due to their shady business practices in the morning…it’s the smell of freedom, at least from their tyranny that causes so much death and destruction.

This couldn’t be happening to a more deserving group of people.

Tired of breeding with rodents, these ratf*ckers have now starting breeding with each other. They’ve traded down.

The big story is if the NRA implodes, who will launder Russian money to GOP campaigns?

They’re all carrying while standing in a firing circle. Well, can’t say we didn’t warn them.

I hope those Zegna suits are bulletproof.

The rubles dried up when Ginger Honeypot was arrested. Their (US) membership is insufficient to pay for Wayne’s suits plus the law suits. I suspect their membership has declined as the killing have piled up. It’s prolly close to rock bottom by now and won’t go any lower. It’s that same 30% that continues to support trump. Hopeless deplorables.
I think this is finally the beginning of the end for the NRA. Let’s hope the NY AG puts a stake through its heart.
And the case Mueller deferred to the SDNY office hasn’t even hit yet.

It is amazing that an organization formed for a corrupt purpose could have executives that are corrupt. This may lead to a new Economics Theory, and a major change in how the world operates its scams.

Oliver North and NRA official Richard Childress cautioned in a letter to NRA leadership last month that the
group can’t afford to burn through some $100,000 a day on these legal fees, which “pose an existential threat to the financial stability of the NRA.”

The NRA leadership voted unanimously to adopt the position of Jean-Paul Sartre that human beings cannot be fully understood in terms of social or scientific categories, which North said “poses an Existentialist threat to the tunnel vision of the NRA.”

I still want to know the full story on Wayne LaPierre paying $13,800 — $4,600 a month or over $150 per day!?! — for a summer intern’s rent.

I’m sure there’s nothing sordid and fishy about that, right Wayne?

“If those damn meddlesome kids hadn’t just accepted their fate of endlessly dodging bullets…” The thing that really hearts my heart in all of this is that so very much of the gun carnage in this country is all so that some really rich people could have more Italian suits. Yesterday was a horribly painful day for so many Americans because of a cabal of evil men (and women) who’ve convinced entirely too many people that the only way they’ll be safe is if they’ve got a stockpile of guns at the ready. The NRA will probably soon fall, but the gravestones and urns they leave behind will remain and the carnage will continue.

I don’t know any serious hunters or sportsmen who belong to it anymore.

Most of them think it’s just become a political tool and has strayed far from its original mission. They also hate the refusal to back sane gun control legislation and don’t want to be on the wrong side of the mass shootings issue.

All of my friends who shoot left the NRA long before Stoneman-Douglas but I can’t imagine that helped much except to keep a few of the core gun-nuts spinning.
