The NRA Has Lost Over a Million Members Since Corruption Allegations Surfaced

The National Rifle Association keeps shrinking.

From the hip:
As much as anyone thought how much good this organization has done on a National level in the past, this needed to happen.

Wayne might have to start shopping at Marshal's for his suits now.

The horror…..His wife may even have to give up her hair stylist that travels with them.

A true case of PSGWSP.

 

[StevieP]

My membership expires in March. I'm not renewing.

 

[Hailstorm]

I went GOA, I actually have my GOA re-up paper on my desk now. I let NRA go, due to a lack of actually fighting for our rights.

 

[M1911]

To be expected. I'm a life member, but won't give them another dime until LaPierre is out and the board is reformed.

 

[Drix]

No harm there.

The NRA has been the most detrimental group to gun rights in years.

I support GOAL, Comm2A, 2AF, FPC, and GOA

 

[System6ix]

For some odd reason our gun club still requires proof of an annual NRA membership to be a member. It's probably a good time to rethink that policy.

Don't worry, we'll still be paying for them.

I've moved to NC, but when I was in MA our club had a similar rule. NRA membership. But they accepted GOAL as a substitute. You might suggest that, or Comm2A, or GOA, etc. as viable alternatives. Hopefully you won't get much pushback.

 

[Tartakovsky]

I wouldn't be an NRA member at all if my gunclub didn't require it for membership.

They actually require both NRA and GOAL. I'm fine with supporting GOAL, but cringe every year when I have to pay the NRA. GOA sounds like a great alternative, thanks for the suggestion.

That's a big DITTO here as well.

 

[Waher]

Wayne is the McConnel of 2A organization leaders

 

[kerryman71]

My wife's membership was up and she didn't renew. Mine is up next year and I won't be renewing either. I already belong to GOA, GOAL, donate to Comm2A, etc. I'll just give whatever money I was giving to the NRA to them. Hopefully those people who dropped their membership in the NRA are supporting other organizations.

I was getting regular calls from the NRA looking for money. I would tell every one of them how I felt about Lapierre and, after a pause, they would go on reading their script. The last call I got was over six months ago, and I politely interrupted the woman and told her to pass the message on that as long as Wayne Lapierre is affiliated with the NRA in any way, I will not give them one dime and will not be renewing my membership. I told her I understood that she had a job to do, and that she wouldn't pass the message on anyway, but she said she would. Whether she did or not doesn't matter, but I haven't received another call since.

Nra offers range insurance and it probably has to do with that.

 

[Dadstoys]

It's a damn shame, we could use them in the fights ahead.
They aren't a shadow of what they used to be.
Get someone in there that's going to fight like hell for us and I'm all in.
F*ck compromise.

To be effective, they don’t have to fight like hell.

They do need to clean house and not be a corrupt organization to have any chance of being effective.

 

[BTSDOG]

Ive been a lifer since 74. I think i got my $$ worth in magazines.......

 

[Cowgirlup]

They will lose me at the next renewal date. I hate the sketchy way they operate. Even after your dues are paid they keep hitting you up for more money and send things that imply your membership is expiring.

But they pushed too far this time.

In 2021 i did the 5 year renewal. Received the new card with an 02/ 2026 exp.

Last month I get an envelope stating "Your NEW Card with Your New Expiration Date Inside!!"

So my new card has an 02/2023 Exp date.
Then they sent a bill stating my membership is expiring 02/2023.

A'holes are trying to cheat me out of 3 years!

 

[System6ix]

Good point. That could very well be the reason.

 

[moojpg2]

I'm a life member but every time they call for $$ I tell them not another dime until Wayne is gone from the .org

 

[agabriel]

Relatively recent life member - maybe this is part of the reason I got it for a great price. I really hope they push Wayne out - he is worse than useless.

Become a member at a non FUDD club.

I am a member at 3 clubs (used to be 4), none required it.

Some might have required it for new members but never asked again during renewal.

 

[Broc]

I undemanding they help some of the organizations like COMM2A.

I just don't understand why they don't advertise it.

Back in the day I used to get all these magazines from them, always talking about the work they were doing in other States, never MA and never explaining how that work can help on a national scale.

There are other insurance companies available. That’s a fact. It happened when I was on the board.

Years ago I had a nice woman on the phone trying to get me to rejoin. I clearly stated that it would not happen after they never spent a dime on protecting gun rights in MA. She politely admitted that MA was a lost cause.

 

[Reeg]

Same here. These days, GOA and NHFC get my money.

 

[HARRYM]

Which still makes the NRA twice the size of GOA. But at 4 million for the NRA and 2 million for GOA 6 million with over 100 million gun owners in America is the real disgrace

You are aware that the NRA helps out GOAL I would hope.
