The National Rifle Association is a shadow of its former self. The depredations of Wayne LaPierre have left a lasting scar on the organization and while it's entirely possible for it to regain it's former clout and even surpass that degree of influence, it has a lot of work to do before we get to that point.
A piece by Doug Hamlin, the executive vice president and CEO of the NRA, suggests that he thinks it is.
Hamlin goes on to note the many things the NRA does that have nothing to do with lobbying, and these are all valid and vital.
But is that enough of a reason why anyone should rejoin the NRA, to answer Hamlin's call for a homecoming?
Good question(s). It took years to screw up the NRA and former members and those potential new ones will wait and see if the reforms take place.
