NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
I see the NRA has endorsed Dade Phelan.
So, convince me why I should not call the NRA and cancel my life time membership.
I don't think I need to go into any detail regarding RINO Phelan.

That A+ rating does not include some important things not directly related to gun issues, apparently.

Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
The NRA “rating” system has turned into a joke, just like its leader. The NRA has given plenty of A+ ratings to politicians who went on to vote for more gun control.

Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
I will still renew my membership, if for nothing else to get into the convention in Houston. But this is a reason why I don't think the NRA has been an effective organization recently.

Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
Coming from another Life Member (and my wife is an Endowment Member), yes, that is very disappointing.
Not that I have not been disappointed with the NRA before. With WLP hanging up his spurs, maybe we can hope for someone new taking over...maybe someone who shares the stated values of the NRA. Time will tell.

Surprised?
Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
I am a Patron Member. I am no fan of Phelan. However is there another choice? I don’t know the answer to that question. However I know it could probably be worse.
As long as Mr. Charles Cotton has impute I will not cancel my membership which it doesn’t matter anyways they already have my monies.

Canceled my life membership with the NRA, yes, that how strongly I feel about their endorsement of Phelan.
Will switch to GOA.

Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
Can someone give me a breakdown on the worst firearms votes and pushes Phelan has made? I know he made those dumb comments about Texas 'needing a tough conversation' about gun rights and gun control, but that comment was in the wake of Uvalde and he didn't collapse to any demands I see, even the raised-age demands.
How is he a RINO on gun issues?
(And yes, I just about despite almost all politicians anyways, no matter their side)

Re: NRA Endorses Dade Phelan
Seems rash, but, I'm sorry to see you go.
It will eventually, hopefully soon, be members of conviction that can make change for the better.
I plan to let my Benefactor membership continue, but not make any additional monetary contributions until I see some positive changes, especially in bylaws that empower the board and the membership to get rid of the next WLP, rather than having to wait for the NY AG to push them out.

I agree with all points here. They won't get another dime of my money until some positive changes have been made.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 2:16 pmSeems rash, but, I'm sorry to see you go.

Just here say and accusations.
That tells me all I need to know about Phelan’s true opinions about gun control.
He also puts democrats on committees.
I don’t trust him. If the dems ever control the house, Phelan will vote right along with them.
I’m also supporting Andy Hopper, to replace Lynn Stucky, since Stucky voted along with Phelan.

I stopped donating when they got rid of Oliver North for exposing the corruption instead of WLP who was running it.
