Keep Ollie, dump Wayne....the NRA needs to get their act together. Top dogs get to much $$$, foolish spending. Use "our" dues money wisely or we'll sent it elsewhere, just sayin'!
2018?Well, ALL of us, NRA Included had better get our collective act together because the other side is more united than ever on this issue:
Democrats are Running on Gun Control in 2018:

2018?
m an original co-sponsor of H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. This bipartisan bill would expand the federal background check system to cover all firearm sales, including those at gun shows, over the internet, or in classified ads, while also incentivizing states to provide more accurate and complete information to the national background check database. (I cosponsored similar bills as H.R. 4240 in the 115th Congress, H.R. 1217 in the 114th Congress and H.R. 1565 in the 113th Congress.)
I'm an original cosponsor of H.R. 1296, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019. This bill would ban certain assault weapons, similar to existing California law, and ban ammunition feeding devices holding more than 10 rounds. (I cosponsored this as H.R. 5087 in the 115th Congress, H.R. 4269 in the 114th Congress, and H.R. 437 in the 113th Congress.)
In the 115th Congress:
I was an original cosponsor of H.R. 3464, the Background Check Completion Act of 2017. This bill would close the “Charleston loophole” – which let Dylan Roof buy the gun he used to murder nine churchgoers in 2015 in Charleston, S.C. – that has allowed dealers to hand over guns to buyers if a background check isn't finished within three days.
I cosponsored H.R. 4057, the Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act. This bipartisan “no fly, no buy” bill would deny people on the terrorist watch list the ability to purchase a firearm. (I cosponsored this as H.R. 1076 in the 114th Congress.)
I cosponsored H.R. 2598, the Gun Violence Restraining Order Act of 2017. This bipartisan bill would allow for the creation of a Gun Violence Prevention Order system in which families can ask their local courts to prevent a loved one from possessing a firearm, if the court finds that the individual poses a risk of injury to themselves or others.
I cosponsored H.R. 1478, the Gun Violence Research Act. This bipartisan bill would formally repeal the Dickey amendment, a longtime roadblock preventing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal health agencies from sponsoring independent research into the causes of, and potential solutions to, gun violence.
“We need reasonable gun safety laws in this country, starting with universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapon ban,” she added, “but they have failed to have the courage to act.”
She said she would introduce the executive actions if Congress did not pass gun control legislation in the first 100 days of her presidency.
Democrats don't look under their beds for the GOA, JPFO or SAF at night before turning in, they're looking for the NRA Boogeyman.
Lol, Populist master?Unanimously re-elected, Wayne’s sticking around. I might not be. Not quite a rage quit, it’s been a slow burning buildup. I don’t like suffering that fool and his acquiescence to ban bump stocks by administrative decree, shameless and constant begging, fearmongering, and total lunacy any longer.
Sad for the once-great NRA, but I don’t trust them at all to not sell out to their populist master.
I'll probably still donate to the NRA since I need membership to join any of the outdoor ranges near me...
The NRA is their punching bag. They use it to whip up the base just like the right uses gay people buying wedding cakes. To both sides the end is always nigh.
We're in a dangerous spot right now IMO. When Obama was president the FUD was in full swing. He was an amazing gun salesman. The reality is that so far as I can recall the only gun thing that really happened was Mr.Obama signing the law that allows carry of firearms into parks. Under Trump we already have a ban by EO and a statement that "I like to take the guns first. Due process later." Ladies and gentleman, when someone tells you who they are- believe him.
Lol, Populist master?
We found out that the position of President of the NRA is nothing more than a figurehead on paper. If the President can't do anything,Now that North is out, any suggestions for replacement?
How can LaPierre be reelected unanimously? Were we aware of his election and who ran against him? Do we, the rank and file, have a choice who is the Executive Vice President? Can we, as members, demand more accountability and access to the way funds are dispersed?
No, gun owners will simply choose another pro-gun/2A organization and make it the next most powerful gun organization.
It may have already started to happen.
Many pro-gun/2A gun owners have conviction and willing to donate money.
