Discussion: NRA Faces Deep Budget Cuts Amid Big Leaps In Spending

It has cut the guts out of its “core” programs but I bet it’s political activities remain the same. Some non-profit.

I won’t believe anything until I see just how much the NRA spends in Virginia to interfere with the discussions about gun ownership that the Governor is initiating. My guess is, whatever cash they have left and can sell assets to gain will be spent here.

Grifted themselves to corruption enroute to eventual irrelevancy and demise (one hopes).

To explain the soaring increases in overhead NRA President Carolyn D. Meadows said, simply, “Baby needs a new pair of shoes.” Asked if “baby” was a veiled reference to Vice President Wayne LaPierre and his expensive wardrobe choices, Meadows smiled coyly, but did not answer.

Why anyone at all continues to give money to this bunch of slaughter-peddling misfits is entirely beyond me.

Hopefully all the top dogs at the NRA will pull a stunt like the following!

If you’re a gun owner that wants to practice at a licensed gun range, some ranges require NRA membership because they are then covered by the NRA if an accident takes place.

If the NRA keeps cutting their gun safety programs, that justification goes away.

They have been delightfully silent during their legal and financial problems. I hope it lasts… right up until they go out of business.

I’m glad the NRA is now officially giving permission to timid MSM reporters to finally tell the public what’s in the heart of 2nd amendment advocates.

Someday we may drown it in the bathtub.

They’ve decided to cut marksmanship and safety training? That was the only worthwhile part of “Today’s NRA”. Guess “the suits” need some more designer suits - and there’s also the law suits. Suits 'em right.

Did they stop giving away, as “free” gifts, your choice of a China-made, gas-station-quality pocketknife that won’t hold an edge, or a China-made, dollar-store-quality gym tote that won’t hold 10 pounds more than once?

Unless I’m missing something, it looks like most if not all of the recent increase in revenue is going to legal fees, correct? Sounds like something NRA donors should be informed about…

Indeed… and Tots ‘n’ Pears!

I had assumed it was the NRA giving a referral fee to the range on the first year’s membership, but you likely know what you’re talking about.

A ruble just doesn’t go as far as it used to.
