I'm also a life member of the NRA.

So wait, are we calling Iran Contra good now?
Some perspective on who got paid:
President Obama paid Iran billions of dollars(we don't actually know how much because no one is investigating): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-pai...cash-delivery/
President Reagan paid Iran 15.2 million dollars: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/19/w...the-money.html
What did we get? President Obama got a promise from Iran to slow their nuclear program and much of that money is now being used to wage war against the West. President Reagan got some dead Sandinista communists and a few American hostages released by Hezbollah.
While I would much rather have all of this money refunded to the taxpayers of the United States, I am not losing any sleep over LTC North's current position with the NRA. I doubt that there are very many of us who watched the Iran-Contra hearings live, and even fewer of us who spent some time on Capitol Hill while those hearings were taking place.
If Fred Rogers was still alive and held a position at the NRA, the same progressive ideologues would be screaming epithets about him bathing in the blood of dead children.
Much anxiety about nothing.
My only question: Will the NRA find its balls and start representing gun owners?
If so, I will renew and donate again.
