View Full Version : Annual NRA membership meeting
September 3-5.
Anyone else going? I've wanted to go for many years and decided to pull the trigger (pun intended) on this one.
I'll be registering late Thursday and staying though early afternoon on Sunday.
Got Southwest tickets out of the 'springs, round trip for about $220.

I'm planning on going--if they actually have it given the state of the NRA
I’m wondering if they’re even still operating much… I’ve been trying to order some match winner, 5 and 10 shot pins for smallbore silhouette and haven’t been able to reach anyone by phone and no responses via email for over two weeks….
Would probably be a bigger draw if the members could run Wayne out on a rail.

there was an update on Guntalk a few weeks back that said the NRA was down to approximately 50 employees

I'd buy a ticket
I'm a Benefactor Life Member, but they won't get another cent from me until they clean house. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that regard.

I'm a benefactor too, so two points:
1) There is no cost to attend. So they don't get another cent.
2) One of the reasons I'm going there is to figure out how to clean house.

Add feathers to that and I'm in.
I've been an NRA member since 1964. Still am. My wife too. Competitor, instructor. NRA ILA. Went to an annual meeting in Washington DC. Great event. They'll never get another dime from us until they clean house and hang the criminals.
Add to that, the NRA could be a 50 million member organization by now if the entrenched oligarchs hadn't mismanaged and looted it.

Benefactor member, too. And, like everyone else, I've demanded to the NRA that LaPierre leaves or no more money. I contemplated ending my membership but haven't done that yet.
I see Allen West is trying to take over LaPierre's position as EVP. I hope he's successful. I may get involved with the organization again if that were to happen.

The NRA needs to make itself relevant by doing more than just getting in the way.

Instead of cleaning house they're all reelected.
https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/nra-evp-wayne-lapierre-and-other-officers-elected-unanimously/
All NRA officers were elected unanimously and unopposed.
https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/nra-reelects-charles-cotton-as-president-wayne-lapierre-as-ceo-evp-at-houston-board-of-directors-meeting/
The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) today announces the election results from its Board of Directors Meeting held in Houston, Texas. Charles Cotton was reelected as President of the Board, Lt. Col. Willes K. Lee as First Vice President, and David Coy as Second Vice President. Wayne LaPierre was reelected as CEO/Executive Vice President.
LaPierre received almost unanimous support over Lt. Col. Allen West, who launched a takeover campaign of the Association in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Lt. Col West received only one vote. As important, the board vote was preceded by a resolution overwhelmingly passed by NRA members on May 29, 2022, that declared support?past, present and future?for LaPierre.
These developments culminated a multi-day NRA Annual Meeting in Houston that remembered those impacted by the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, recognized NRA members, and called for increased safety measures in America?s schools. During today?s meeting, the NRA recognized members of the U.S. military and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Also, Brevard County, Florida Deputy Tyler Thoman received the NRA Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award for his heroic efforts to protect a fellow officer in a shooting incident in August 2021. Deputy Thoman?s actions saved not only his own life, but also the life of the fellow officer who was wounded in an altercation with an armed felon.
?Like all Americans, we grieve for the people of Uvalde and Texas,? said LaPierre. ?And as we do, we join in the call to support brave law enforcement like Deputy Thoman, improve mental health services, and make our schools more safe and secure. Our children are our most treasured and precious resource?making schools safe is a national emergency.?
LaPierre continued, ?I am honored to continue my work for the NRA, and to join our members in their campaign to promote responsible gun ownership and defend Second Amendment freedom for all law-abiding Americans.?
John Frazer was reelected as NRA Secretary/General Counsel and Sonya Rowling as CFO and Treasurer. Jason Ouimet was appointed Executive Director for the Institute for Legislative Action; and Joseph DeBergalis, Jr., Executive Director, General Operations.
The Annual Meeting proceedings conclude as the Association embarks upon a new chapter?steadfast in its grassroots, political, and legal advocacy. In March, the NRA achieved a major victory over New York Attorney General Letitia James?defeating her claims to dissolve the Association.
?The NRA stands strong, safe and secure,? says NRA President Charles Cotton. ?We have never been better positioned to protect the Second Amendment or lend our collective voices in support of important issues like school security.?

It's funny how the NRA has been the "Big Bad Boogeyman" for anti gunners for so many years. If anything, I think they are behind the rest of the "gun rights" movement and constantly playing catch-up.
The anti-gunners have this fantasy that they will "bring down" the NRA and then all their gun control dreams will come true.
Instead they'll find that the gun rights movement is like a hydra: Cut one head off and 4 more will take its place. Politicians in red states and even in "swing states" know that they are one gun control vote away from losing their jobs - and that's the REAL power of gun owners.
I'm going again this year, April 14-16 (not this, but next weekend) in Indianapolis, IN.
Anyone else?
