About the UnitedWay, [...] UnitedWay banks it and makes money on the interest, then remits. Lord knows what they do with the interest they make across all the self-directed giving they receive, but I can tell you that its almost assuredly not good. They support a whole lot of organizations like Planned Parenthood and other Leftist organizations that may be helped by this scheme... It's worth looking into...
I too have my share of problems with them, like the support they give to Democrats, which I'm not too happy about.

This makes me not want to join the NRA. Not because they necessarily agree with this as a whole, but because they have failed to establish an atmosphere where I could even remotely imagine walking into a convention without being ostracized.
Do they actively support stuff like this? No. Do they have a long standing tradition of "letting it slip." ... Yes!
Believe it or not some people who enjoy owning, shooting and even carrying guns are not one issue voters. They do not see everything through the lense of a single issue. This might or might not put themselves at odds with the people and things the NRA supports in their persuit of our gun rights.
This, probably summarizes it best. And rhetoric like the following sure isn't helping.
NO DO NOT !!! We old timers have been paying for you worthless scalawags for decades now so it does not matter any more and neither do you. IN my case I have been doing so since 1958 and have had the unmitigated pleasure of seeing a lot of those cheapskates cash in their chips. As per usual in all things there are the doers and those who are a waste of oxygen, too cheap even to carry their own weight and wated it all handed to 'em as a freebie. <deleted> And so it goes....
