Default NRA meeting update...

The NRA Members meeting is being held today and is going on right now. For those interested Frank Tait has submitted a resolution to be addressed at the meeting citing no confidence in the BoD and current leadership, demanding the resignation of all of them. I'm sure it will be ignored/lost/ruled out of order and nothing will happen...but people are trying to get a leadership change.

Turn on the time machine and go back a little. NRA canceled their annual meeting due to, NRA BOD claimed, the Chinese virus.

Note that the Chinese virus death and infection rates are now way past the level of both at the cancellation.

I'm thinking that was to keep the membership at large at home where they/we belonged.

Too bad they had to lie about the cancellation.

At the NRA member meeting today a resolution calling for all officers and BoD members to resign was submitted. It was objected to by NRA BoD Member Joel Friedman and 2/3 of the members attending the meeting voted against it. The current NRA leadership will remain in place for now.

Why am I not surprised?

Here's a list of NRA BOD members who did the voting, the names in red have resigned.

NRA Board Members.

To say the BOD is made up of a bunch of entrenced fudds would be an understatement.

It's simply business as usual, and my contributions to the NRA are off until WLP resigns. I know, probably not in my lifetime.

The meeting was moved to Charlotte a week before. 130 or so members attended an otherwise empty large auditorium, though the NRA told those members that were interested in coming that no seats were available.

The BOD of directors unanimously pass a motion on nominations for the BOD.

Up to now, members could write in a candidate, say like calguns.net wrote in the Librarian. Librarian would be elected or not based on his votes v. others.

The new and ongoing method will be BOD candidates must be approved by the BOD. If that's the "new NRA" per the BOD, I'd say it's simply more of the ongoing WLP and his minions continuing the sos.

As a life member who's also paid an additional $250 a year for 12 years on top of the life fee, I'm bummed beyond belief...

I'm a member and have been for many years but I stopped contributing to their constant requests for money a year or two ago. If enough people keep there money in there pocket eventually they will notice and start fixing their problems.

I posted this 6 days ago.

Only one person has responded.

NRA is probably in heaven as WLP's clothing allowance is still in good shape.

Thanks for the updates.
I too am probably not going to donate anymore extra $$ to the NRA until they get things fixed. I'll keep my membership going for now. Instead I'll kick in that NRA donation $$ to CRPA. Maybe it's time to look into some of these other national Gun-Rights organizations like GOA and others.

Not whining, just stating facts.

Don't like it? Don't open the thread.

Apparently simple but sometimes hard to understand.

Don't like opposing opinions of your whining? Simply, Don't post them on internet forums.

This isn't Facebook, where you get to choose "friends" who agree with you, as the only ones allowed to read and comment.

You not stating facts, you just stating your opinion and your interpretations. Moreover, all your threads about the NRA are dripping with venom you have for the NRA.

The NRA has not evolved, therefore it needs to die.

Destroying the best pro-2nd amendment organization we have, without offering an alternative, is just shooting yourself in the foot.



OP, Please show us on the doll, where the NRA touched you...

No venom here for the NRA...just a bit for the current BoD.

These are the comments that always get me. Why does it need to die? Just leave it and start your own org.

Or is it somehow impossible for the other orgs to succeed while the NRA exists? I’m not willing to jump ship without a viable alternative.

I don't think that calgunner wants the NRA to die! He just wants our leaders picked by New York politicians .

If you're referring to me, you're basically incorrect.

I'm in favor of the NRA keeping on with fighting anti-gun legislation.

However, at this time the BoD puts more effort in keeping the good ol' boys' network...

That includes the BoD approving candidates' entry on the ballot v. letting the members vote, using NtA money as a personal bank, flying to Russia for about $250K in expenses, and the overall so-called leadership of WlP.

That's what I've always posted re the NrA.
