Let them die and rot....and hope the corpse fertilizes something better.
If LaPierre would step down from his position, and away from trying to direct any NRA operations, I believe there would be a quick surge in membership. The biggest thing the NRA has been known for since he took over the leadership position is pissing away money, on salaries (especially his own), and BS programs that add nothing to protecting gun owner rights!!
too funny!you're the onlymember here proudlyadvertising your life time membership!<>
The NRA of today is not ours.
It is totally owned by Wayne LaPierre.
Few of us want the NRA to die; we just want to be rid of Wayne. . . . ,

so was i but i refuse to advertise itI'm also a life member of the NRA, and was proud of it for many years.
Neither the nra nor newsweek will ever get a dollar from me!Ironically, Newsweek is dying faster than the NRA.
The left is doing cartwheels, while gun owners know better. The NRA has been ineffective and WLP’s personal ATM for years.
I bet the number of folks leaving the NRA, is balanced by folks joining other, more effective gun-right groups.
That is the impression we all got at the Houston Expo. Something is going to have to give in the coming future.Yes still a lot of us Lifetime NRA Members still around. WLP has made it all but impossible to ever get rid of him because of his cronyism with the board members. You know it's bad when Ted Nugent and LTC West told WLP to F U C K off and walked away from their board seats. Neither are known to be "quitters", but they saw the writing on the wall and walked.............
Until the board members revolt nothing will change.............
EXACTLY I'M NOT EXPECTING A REFUND FOR THAT MEMBERSHIP BUT IF WLPAN SOME OF THE OTHER LEADERS IN THE NRA LEAVE I MY BECOME MOREACTIVE WITH THEMLifetime membership doesn't mean you can't quit and walk away It just means you spent money.
While I certainly agree with the NRA needing to go away. If the crackhead NY AG is successful, there COULD be some unintended positive consequences. WLP goes to jail, a new EVP is found from within the contingent wishing to reform the organization, new EVP cleans house. Likely? Probably not BUT, I do wish to see the NRA restored to the political juggernaut it once was.
<>Amen on your last sentence. The more 2A advocate organizations the better. Even if NRA stature reduced by NY AG efforts their supporters can still support Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and our own Texas State Rifle Assoc. For our out-of-state forum members be sure to join and support your state 2A advocates fighting state level issues.

Don't forget the administration of various shooting sports, too.I would like to see more organizations take on training and funding roles for youth and adult marksmanship training like the NRA does.
I have noticed this for the last 10 years while being active with the 4H shooting industry as when I first got involved with my daughter, NRA had an active role as well as funding and got to the point of teams requiring membership with NRA but later that changed as we saw less NRA trainers and just the grants given by them. It seems they have decided to divert their resources to lobbying and allow the organizations such as 4H, FFA, ROTC, SCTP, SASP, AIM and others to govern and train themselves but still get some funding. The funding support from them does give a great impression to the families of kids participating and most of the ones I know from various teams both 4H and SCTP all show strong support for NRA. Hell in the last Houston event I saw at least ten shooting teams that my daughter knew attend and had their team shirts on plus we had a booth in the event.Don't forget the administration of various shooting sports, too.
Personally, I decided the NRA had lost its mooring and was in trouble when they voluntarily gave up their status as the National Governing Body for international shooting events, i.e. the competitions that lead to the Olympics. That demonstrated that they no longer valued widespread civilian ownership of firearms for target shooting. It was an extended middle finger to much of their membership. It also caused people outside the shooting world to view the NRA as less legitimate than previously.
