    Of course you would never be a member of the NRA.
    They come out every 4 years, right around election time.

      Thanks for the Heads Up warning.

      Good Work under covering his true nature, LowThudd.

      I noticed he posted his negative appraisal of the NRA, and then did not
      suggest an alternative solution for protecting 2nd Amendment Rights.

        None of them have so far. Maybe he gets some top level secret squirrel access to the inner halls of Congress we don't get. I think he does it through the Red Cross or the American Library Association.

          One reason for not joining among many is the NRA is not nearly as powerful nor responsible for all the things that article and the left keeps claiming they are. I thought that was common knowledge here?

            I have my own views on gun ownership and have the balls to talk about them.

            The fact that someone took their time to go through all my posts trying to do whatever they think it was going to do just shows their true traits.

            I just posted the truth available to everyone. Crazy part is that you guys rather attack me than question why someone is taking $2m in pay is pretty shocking. Everone talks about how the government steals your money without any disclosure but your own organizations are doing the same thing and no one seems to care. I call that insanity.

            Go forward with your day and I'll move along with mine.

                Seems like the money being donated has been winning for the 2A federally and on the state level. I don't care what their salaries are, as long as they are winning the fight. And they are.

                  I don't care how much they make. I'm a voting member, and as long as these guys go toe to toe with well funded people.dead set on removing my civil rights, they earned every penny they made and I fully approve. Now go be wrong somewhere else.

                      They have something like 800 full time employees. So if you average that out ($40,000,000 / 800) it's $50,000 in wages per employee. You must be a unskilled minimum wage worker if you think that this is an excessive amount.

                        Even though I just paid for a lifetime membership to the NRA, I think I will send more money to them in honor of Mr. Misha. Thanks for the push bro

                          Lets do a comparison with Brady Campaign, a well known
                          Anti 2nd Amendment Organization. 2012 has figures for
                          both NRA and Brady, so we will compare that year:


                          NRA 2012 Figures:
                          Since 2013, the IRS has released data culled from millions of nonprofit tax filings. Use this database to find organizations and see details like their executive compensation, revenue and expenses, as well as download tax filings going back as far as 2001.


                          Notable expenses Percent of total expenses
                          Executive compensation $2,970,133 1.2% vs 5% Brady , WINNER NRA
                          Professional fundraising fees $8,502,013 3.3%
                          Other salaries and wages $34,314,125 13.5% vs 14% Brady , WINNER NRA


                          BRADY CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE 2012 Figures
                          Since 2013, the IRS has released data culled from millions of nonprofit tax filings. Use this database to find organizations and see details like their executive compensation, revenue and expenses, as well as download tax filings going back as far as 2001.


                          Notable expenses Percent of total expenses
                          Executive compensation $135,261 5.0%
                          Professional fundraising fees $0
                          Other salaries and wages $380,385 14.0%

                          As you can clearly see, NRA is the better deal in terms of
                          cost percentage and political effectiveness.


                          Mr.Misha, suggest a course of action for defending
                          every ones 2nd Amendment Rights.

                            Didn't need to go through all your posts. i went right to the thread that I remembered your comments from. It took all of one minute to find, and a couple to copy and paste. you aren't worth any more time wasted than that. Just trying to inform others in the thread of your actual thoughts on freedom in America.

                              Lol! No problem. After all, it's your money. Who am I to tell you how to spend it? Doesn't matter if you buy holy water with it. At the end of the day, as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you. [emoji6]

                                Because 90% of Americans want you to. The science is settled.
