I don't know if that would be much of a bellweather as 2020 is a Presidential election year and one would expect revenue to increase. Were it to not increase or decrease, or were it to increase tremendously, perhaps those circumstances would be worthwhile. But I'd expect an increase about the same as an off year or a bit more would be expected and not tell us much.

If the attacks from Bloomberg groups and useful idiot gun owners that will believe anything that badmouths the NRA and refuse to take the time to do any research to see if it is true are any indication, I would say that rational gun owners will make it another record fundraising/membership year.

Yesterday the NRA volunteers at the Orange County Crossroads show told me they signed up 200 new members into the NRA.
I asked about the Wayne La Pierre supposed controversy and was told "1 Idiot brought it up..." Apparently the La Pierre story is a no story except for a handful of NRA hating cal gunners. |

OK Jimi how much will you personally contribute after Wayne is gone ?
Be careful what you wish for as there is a good reason Bloomberg and company want him out. Namely to get a replacement who will be reasonable to their anti gun agenda! Last edited by ja308; 06-03-2019 at 10:06 PM.. |

Bloomberg doesn't want him out, they want the NRA gone. Wayne is already on the enemies team, that's all they can hope for until the NRA is gone for good. You wanna make the left start sweating? Replace all the higher ups in the NRA with people who are true 2A supporters and would gladly take a small salary and use the money to take back some of our rights. All Wayne and co are doing right now is bleeding the NRA for every penny they can until there's nothing left.

You should be a little careful on how you advise NRA members . Calgunners could think of you as the Walter Mitty of cal guns. Any questions Walt ? |

It is amazing how he has access to Bloomberg's personal plans and all these financial records that allows him to make these claims about the NRA without looking like a fool that is just making stuff up. It's almost like he works for Bloomberg and his anti-NRA organizations.

I have a lot of 2A friends and those that join the NRA do so begrudgingly. The mission of the NRA should always be for preservation of the 2A and should never waiver on that, but how it goes about promoting said mission most adapt. The NRA cannot be propped up on Estate Sales and Social Security checks. Last edited by BryMan92; 06-04-2019 at 11:55 AM.. |

There's a not so fine line between being constructive and simply being derogatory. No one should mind where a good idea comes from, but that's not what tends to be posted, unfortunately. |

I guess that's why Bloomberg's organizations keep publishing articles going after La Pierre personally and not only the NRA as an organization. It helps if your reasoning stays consistent and makes sense instead of destroying your own argument.

I learned that this forum, much like this great state of ours, likes to censor people with different opinions from their own. I was under the impression that this was a website made up of adults, but clearly if someone's delicate sensibilities gets offended by what I had said, it's made up of immature snowflakes who are no different than the commies that run this state. Funny how you and the other dip didn't get banned for your name calling, huh? Definitely not biased.

Kes does allow a certain amount of "wiggle room" for some mild snark and whatnot, but personal vulgarities are almost certain to activate the Ban Hammer. Your vulgar comments were not any kind of legitimate rebuttal, they were inappropriate and unproductive to the debate. Yes, I saw and responded to them before they were taken down, along with my response. That is what got you a Temp Ban. Kes owns this Private forum and sets the rules we all agree to abide by when we sign up. Having said that, I'm a Free Speech Absolutist, so I don't really like to see people banned over what they have said, and have even advocated for someone to be unbanned after they insulted me and got a ban. The mods graciously allowed the person back onto the forum, and we finished the debate. But its not my Forum, and Kes has decided a certain level of decorum is to be maintained. So I try to respect his rules. Noble |

Again, if anyone puts forth "here's my idea, why it will work and we'll be better off" it's worth listening to. But I learned a long time ago that trying to raise one's self by trashing someone else, rather than extolling your own company virtues, doesn't close the deal. Most prospective clients look down at that sort of thing, it loses the deal. |

The irony of YOU making this statement. In other threads, you have openly stated that the 2nd amendment shouldn't apply to democrats and those of "immoral character." Seems that YOU should be careful on how to advise NRA members, as you clearly do not support the 2nd amendment.

It was another joke. I guess my sense of humor isn't understood here. Still, it was a serious insult. Much more so than my "dong" comment.

Yes, it is tragic they haven't been swayed by your incredibly cogent arguments.

They don't have to listen to a damn thing I say. If they took an objective look at all the evidence that has come out instead of "The NRA is perfect and can never do anything wrong", they would see that what the NRA is using the donated money for is wrong. Are you ok with them paying a law firm $100k a day, a law firm that donates to democraps like Obama and Hillary? How about the millions Wayne has used for his private jets, fancy clothes, and bimbo girlfriend?

Never said I was funny or that people have enjoy my sense of humor. The immaturity of the people on this forum is pretty sad. It's like talking to a bunch of millennials who need their "safe space" so that their feelings don't get hurt.

But refusing to look at evidence because it was published first by a liberal news site, that's on them. It's not my fault some people on this forum are too stubborn or too brainwashed to take an objective look at evidence. If they can't understand that the "liberal media" didn't manufacture the evidence, then that's their stupidity. I know that the media is incredibly unreliable and should never be taken at their word, but a look at the 990s and everything coming out in the lawsuit with Ackmac is pretty solid evidence. Some people will never admit that the sky is blue, all you can do is bring them outside and let them see for themselves. If they still refuse to accept it, not my problem.

You been drinking tonight? I didn't come here to convince anyone of anything, nor have I. The people criticizing the NRA made that decision on their own, because they were able to look at the evidence and decide for themselves instead of just blindly worshiping the NRA as their savior. You and JA308 are the ones making pathetic arguments, if you can even call them that. Your friend there literally said in another thread that the NRA can never do anything wrong. Do you know how absurd that is? You guys haven't even made an argument that makes sense. All I've seen are people repeat the exact same phrases over and over while ignoring the facts. And then of course, call anyone criticizing the NRA a paid liberal troll because clearly there's not thousands of gun owners pissed off at the NRA, it's only one or two paid trolls who make thousands of accounts on dozens of websites to try to sway opinions. I guess we're just some darn Russian bots, huh? No one defending the NRA seems to be able to provide any excuse for Wayne's spending habits, or his girlfriends rent coming out of the NRA's pocket, or the fact that the NRA's law firm donates to the very democrats you are claiming to be against. How about all the gun control they've supported? I'm the pathetic one? In my book, someone who will blindly follow and support something no matter what is far more pathetic.

Thanks for proving my point. No, my arguments come from the EVIDENCE that has come out. That evidence, though published by many media sites, was not manufactured by them. I don't understand how you can't comprehend that, it's like talking to a child. Glad to see your argument hasn't changed. Of course, everyone in the world is jealous of a corrupt, traitorous, thief that cheats on his wife! I mean, who wouldn't be jealous of that kind of person?
