Geez.....what is going on at the NRA. Seems we have big problems and who do you believe? Oliver North or Wayne La Pierre? I met Wayne once.....and thought him to be a strange guy. Still....he has led the "fight" for gun rights for a long time. Dunno what to think at this point.
Ideas here?

I tried to read up on it a little yesterday. Looks like a mess to me. Regardless of what is actually going on, I get the impression that the NRA is not unified and clear in goals.

From what I have gathered there is some dirty business going on inside the NRA. Typical corruption type stuff that you see in any large organization... Some people paid too much, others being paid too little, political games, some "insider" info being shared to protect some, money and power being used to drive personal agendas...lots of bad stuff.
You know...the sort of shit congress and big business does on a daily basis!

You know...the sort of shit congress and big business does on a daily basis! When people start deriving a living from an advocacy mission, it's impossible to avoid the mission getting taken over by the need to get paid first. This is the reason McCain got endorsed with a C- over JD Hayworth who had an A+. This is why non-profits and advocacy groups never get anything done. If they succeeded, they'd eliminate their own jobs. Cancer is great business for the Cancer Society. Battered women are great business for battered women advocates. Poverty is good for the poverty business. Shitty hunting is great business for MDHA, QDMA, DU, PF, etc. |

The DNR is on the cusp of being blessed with more power, people, and money thanks to CWD. They have an incentive for things to get shittier on all fronts. |
