NRA response?

[nothing4u]

In light of the above, I would think that the NRA would and should be actively promoting the Second Amendment especially in communities of color. The businesses that aren't getting destroyed--the parking lots that aren't getting burned--all that--those are the ones that are guarded by armed folks. The rioters see those armed defenders and go elsewhere.

Conclusion: an armed society apparently really is a more polite society.

Since the NRA is into promoting and preserving the 2A, this is exactly what they should be using in a nation-wide campaign. They should be going into especially predominately-minority communities and pointing this out. When I see these White rioters destroying Black and other communities of color, I think of the "Black Wall Street" riots in Tulsa, OK. It's just like that. They're firebombing these Black and other predominately POC communities. I'm having trouble imagining a better case for the 2A than this.

The NRA should be pointing this out. Why aren't they??

Rhetorical question. Because the current leadership don't care. They know they're getting paid regard less. Let that sink in. Entitlement.

@ilikerugers: any answer for the above questions?

[LongLiveTheRepublic]

This guy is trolling the way he keeps saying "peaceful" protesters. Arsonists and rioters are not peaceful. Anifa are terrorists.

Am I trolling? Just calling it like it is. I find their silence on peaceful protesters being forced into unmarked vehicles illuminating.

Actually, you may be.

Anqueefers...

Sadly, this very scenario has played out quite a lot in not just Portland, but also Minneapolis. We have White people claiming Antifa support destroying Black-owned businesses. As the son of a Black man myself, I must ask you: is that somehow supporting "civil rights"?

If your answer is no--and I sincerely hope that it is--then the follow-up question is: are these people defending these Black-owned businesses wrong somehow, and if so, how?

This is a problem through out all the corporation of CEO over pay.

So sad all this has happened with the NRA. Doesn’t surprise me all that much because money is always involved and some people can’t get enough even though they already have way more than they need.

I’m a long time member and supporter of the NRA. I get their print magazine every month and there’s not a wisp of this scandal anywhere in it but of course there’s article after article about sending more money to them over and over.

They have been a great defender of our 2nd Amendment rights but if all this scandal is true, it’s such a sad state of affairs.

By the way, they have ramped up their membership drive exceedingly as I now get a thick envelope almost weekly asking me to extend or upgrade my membership and even add extra money to it.

I want to continue to believe in their good intentions for us gun owners but this money scandal has me balking. I hope the NRA doesn’t go down in flames because of greedy people.

It is way past time for LaPierre to go. His corrupt administration of the NRA is the basis for this lawsuit, even if the cause is more hidden. The cause is to eliminate the NRA; La Pierre has given them the means to try.

[ilikerugers]

who dares to file this bogus lawsuit against a institution since 1871

Should the allegation be true, then it would be a violation of tax law for the CEO of a non-profit to purchase $274,000 in men's clothing at a boutique in Beverly Hills and charge it to the organization's finances.

What is King Cuomo the commie leader of NY who leads the crusade against our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Or Cuomos flunky ***** AG who dares to file this bogus lawsuit against a institution since 1871?

Why would they respond to a ridiculous question. Would you?

The NRA membership are mostly happy with our slide toward tyrannical fascism.

GOOD news! O'bummer's been UN-employed for almost 4 years now!

[ilikerugers]

Dude it's pointless with this crowd.

If people want to give money with no accountability to an organization that lost its way years ago, then who's the fool?

[CABilly]

Dude it's pointless with this crowd. The NRA probably just wants to stay on mission to protect against laws that infringe on the 2A. The NRA membership are mostly happy with our slide toward tyrannical fascism. Most are cheering the jackboots from the sidelines.

[The War Wagon]

Does NRA stand against tyranny or does it not?

Yes. So NATURALLY, they're against the fascist Anqueefers.

Didn't you read the editorials in this month's magazine? I mean, YOU'RE a member, so you get one of the magazines - RIGHT?
