I'm sure all those dead children at Sandy Hook, Parkland, etc., will look down and cry crocodile tears when you and your evil organization shuffle off this mortal coil. Don't let the door hit ya.......

I think this is just a way for Wayne to drag some more $$ out of his slavering cult.

They're not going out of business because they get so much money from the gun MANUFACTURERS. When they go out of business, then we can talk.

The NRA used to be all about rifles for hunters, not much more. Now it advocates for letting anyone load up on deadly firearms. We all know the periodic carnage this has caused.

They have lots of blood on their hands and no shame about that at all.

The National Rifle Association and its embarrassing lobbyist step brother the NRA-Institute for Legislative Action.
You have to wonder about anything named institute that would hire Nugent.

I doubt greatly that they are going to be shuttered. They are exploiting their negative press to wring more moolah out of the gun nutters.

regarding the Boy Scouts? Seems like they were once a organization for good, as well.

antics of "professional" wrestling, the feuds, the ever changing roles of bad guys becoming good guys and vice versa, tossing the referee through the air and out of the ring (exactly how Republicans now treat Democratic lawmakers), on and on and on.

ALL OF TRUMP's actions stem from this too, never forget scenes like the gif here, and don't forget that tRumps' BASE actually thinks rasslin' is FOR REAL! This little vignette shows how his base believes he treats dictators around the world, when in actuality it should be a scene from "CALIGUA".

and want to get the gun nuts anger to be shifted elsewhere for their own folly? Hard to say. Especially when they speak in all lies, all the time.

but really, this is just a ploy to sucker more gun nuts to send money.

Funny after the Russian money dried up the NRA has gone almost all the way under. Putin was using the NRA to stoke divisions in America.

...its cold dead heart and I read the news in a thoughtful series in the Los Angeles Times.

I wonder how the Russians will launder money into the Republican campaigns if the NRA is gone?

Patrick Phillips

Fund-raising ploy to get the gun-loving anti-government groups to pony up more money. I’ll believe this story only when they’re gone.

could it be today? evil piece of shit organizations that advocate for murder and profit off it, should not exist.

to gin up support and donations in their frequent mailings.

After the 2016 elections, they were saying the UN was going to take away their guns!!!

so now they need mo money or go broke.

Is done for too. The crushing defeat in the 2016 election will be the nail in their coffin...

Can't happen too soon as far as I am concerned.

Buh-bye NRA!

NRA Cuts More Operating Costs-and Lavishes Executives With Perks

The NRA Is Being Sued Over Its Relentless Telemarketing Campaigns

When begging for bucks goes wrong.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-nra-is-being-sued-over-its-relentless-telemarketing-campaigns

The NRA has employed InfoCision since 2012 under a contract that grants the fundraising company up to 65 percent of the funds it raises on the NRA’s behalf. InfoCision gets between $2.50 and $3.75 for each “completed call” to potential NRA donors, and up to half of the regular payments for new or renewed NRA memberships.
-------------------------------------------

If those high fees are unavoidable, they can also have the effect of obscuring, for a potential donor, exactly where his or her money is going. Many of those speaking with an InfoCision fundraiser, after all, will not know that a majority of their donation is not going to the charity that fundraiser is representing.

================================
NRA solicitations
comment from a blog - (DU I think)

I had a coworker who was a big time gun owner who kept a gun in every room in the house just in case someone broke in (lots of problems with that idea, may be worth a blog article someday, but that’s what he did). He even went so far as to start buying more guns for each room after a school shooting, like home invasion and mass shooting are correlated somehow. He had let his NRA membership lapse and refused to renew it because he got tired of nonstop requests for donations. To him all the membership did was give the NRA to badger him for more money with phone calls, and direct mailings. If the
organization is as strapped for cash as it appears, those solicitations may have gone way over the top and people are simply tired of being badgered for money and are choosing to let their membership to lapse.

being cut off at the HQ came out. I bullshitted with them for a minute and said, "I bet you guys could really use some coffee, I'll buy." I thought it would piss them off and be funny, but it went right over their heads! Doh! Cost me four bucks I think! I should know better. They would never get a subtle dig like that.

That there are gun-rights groups that didn’t launder money for the Russians in 2016 is the problem.

buy.

As a gun owner, I would love it if there were a gun rights group that wasn't a mouthpiece for nutjobs and a covert vehicle for Russian interests.

who gives a rats ass

It’s working. NRA has become a sponsor of domestic terrorism and cannot continue.

Keep it up!

We're just doing our jobs as decent human beings.

and send their money. This is just a dog whistle to them from this asshole to send him more money.

You hypocrite and fear monger (LaPierre).

Gun safety is for all people, regardless of party affiliation or the like. It's remarks like this that cause people to stop supporting creeps like you, who has to bring a political bias into the picture when it has nothing to do w/ it. Why don't you call your Russian buddies for money?

They got totally co-opted into a very aggressive, they're coming for yer guns organization. Rabid replaced rational.

by this failure of the NRA to go back to basics and get out of the 'coming for your guns' rhetoric, which has never, ever, been true.

and you're welcome!

Did Russia start paying in rubles?

a New York minute.

To find dozens of mags that glorify rapid fire, devastating, weaponry over 'the Outdoor LIfe/Field and Stream' type.
I understand the hunting/fishing mags 'food on the table' message.

The collective weapon/ammo manufacturers will just put another mouthpiece in place to spout fear if the NRA 'folds'.

Gov. Cuomo could have gone further to also reviewing the banks relations with the above mentioned manufacturing collective.

And ban all foreign made weapons.

The fact that the first tool used by the protohumans is a weapon to commit murder, is only one of the challenging evolutionary and philosophic questions posed by the film 2001:A Space Odyssey. The tool's link to the present day is made by the famous graphic match from the bone/tool flying in slow motion into the air, to a weapon orbiting the earth.

Sarcasm

The NRA funded the Newtown truthers. For that alone they should be wiped from the face of the earth.

They're no better at delivering on their promises than Individual 1

FUCK the NRA!!!!

... if a right-wing governor took state contracts away from any company that did business with Planned Parenthood? This is a governor using the power of his office to crush an advocacy group whose cause he disagrees with. This is executive overreach at its extra-judicial, extra-legislative worst.
