80 Percenters? What's that?

[Texasjack]

A cousin of mine has a sales job with the NRA. Recently someone she contacted told her they wouldn't have anything to do with the NRA and that they are "80 Percenters". She called me to ask what that meant and I had to tell her I've never heard of that before. Anyone else come across this? I've heard of 1%ers and 3%ers, but never 80%ers. Someone suggested it comes from a statistic that 80-90% of gun owners don't belong to the NRA (a statistic frequently used by anti-2A people to try to prove that somehow the NRA is a nazi organization.)

From the urban dictionary. Don't know if it quite correlates:

Never heard of it either... but if true, I fall within that realm myself as I am no longer and likely never will be an NRA member again.

Could it be that of those of us that are members (me a "lifer"), 80% of us won't contribute again until LaPierre is gone?

i believe they are referring to the administrative cost versus what is spent on programs, typically organizations that have a high operating cost like 80% of donations received, is viewed negatively.

I would have guessed it meant that they support the sale of 80% lowers.
But that's just me.
ETA: You know, ghost guns?

A so called "ghost gun" maker?

In my house I am wrong 80% of the time.

 

[EZ-E]

Probably just another uninformed voter believing 80% of the bullshit the left feeds em


ETA...

Could be 80% of the members are pissed that they can't get rid of Wayne and his crooked cabal that are sinking the ship.

 

[Polkwright]

I'm 100% confused.

Don't know, but it ain't 3.

 

[easy rider]

The only percenters I steer clear of are 1%ers.

You must not be married. My error rate is much closer to 100%.

I'm pretty sure that the number of people pissed at WLP is in the high 90% range. My cousin said the sales force is telling people "you can be pissed off and let him keep going, or you can join and be part of the group voting him out".

Wonder what kind of message the politicians in Washington would get if the greater NRA membership was to Ceaușescu Wayne live on TV?
