I support them all. I even sent extra to the NRA recently.

NRA Life member Benefactor Level.

And that is what we should do. Wait and see what the truth is. If there is a problem, then we can fix it without killing the patient.

I have been thinking about this situation and would like to share a few thoughts.

Maybe we should look at the situation with the NRA as being similar to a person with a diagnosis of possible cancer. Do we just euthanize them because they MIGHT have something wrong going on inside them? What about even if the NRA does have some problems? That would be like a person having cancer. Do you kill them, or do you try to remove the cancer and cure them?

I have not agreed with everything the NRA has done, but on the whole, they have helped protect all of us gun owners' right to own modern firearms. Anti-gunners hate and fear the NRA the most. We must do all we can to preserve and strengthen it. The loss of the NRA will set the ant-gunners upon our freedoms like sharks in a feeding frenzy. We can not let that happen.

I realize there are other groups, and I belong to several. For example, I am also a life member in the GOA and am a member of DRGO. I urge everyone to don't turn on the NRA. Wait and see what is going on and let's all do what we can to make it stronger than ever. Support the other groups too, but do not abandon the NRA. We need all the power and influence that we can get in order to insure our freedoms for a while longer. The fight to preserve them will never end.

I’m a life NRA member, but they won’t get another dime out of me until this is resolved.

I'm in the same boat.

I am a life benefactor member and I gave them some more money last week. We have to stick together.

Life memeber and signing up my family members.

I gave my son a life membership too.

To accuse Charles of thug tactics like you are shows you are not fully aware of the work that man has done for gun rights. In the last ten years he has achieved more for advancing second amendment issues than many people will achieve in the same field over a lifetime.

Of course. But I think what he's reacting to, and other people are reacting to, is not just specifically what Charles said, but the general absence of justification or ameliorating evidence for what's been reported. Charles, Marion, et. al. have said it's all been carefully vetted and audited, that it's "not correct." Ok, fine. But, then, what are you saying exactly? Don't stop there (unless you're forced to for political expedience). Are you saying he DIDN'T spend $39,000 on a Rodeo Drive shopping trip? That he DIDN'T make trips to the Bahamas, Palm Beach, Italy, Istanbul, etc.? If this isn't "correct," then what IS correct? Don't leave us sitting here scratching our heads, wondering what the truth is.

He can not release facts while a lawsuit is going on. You will just have to wait. Until then,we need to refrain from tearing down the organization anti-gunners fear the most. Now is the time to build it stronger than ever.
