NAGR spends more than every gun group combined on lobbying

[HBARleatherneck]

ronin, dudley has to trash talk the NRA. the NRA is his largest competitor. If he said how good the NRA was, why would anyone donate to him? He has to make you think the NRA is in bed with the gun grabbers, so you write him a check.

Depends on what you call "endorsing" gun control. The NRA opposes gun control, same as you and I...

Really?

True... he's doing it wrong... If I were in charge of RMGO I would emphasis that yes, the NRA is our friend, but they're on a more national level, meanwhile we're here fighting at the state level- it would be best to support us both for a more robust and well-rounded attack on the anti-gun agenda. But that's if I was in charge...

Just when I start to forget why I despise you, Dudley, you make sure to remind me. Good job.

So you think that diagnosed paranoid Schizophrenics and other dangerous mentally ill individuals (with our already inept and broken mental healthcare system) should just be left unchecked to be able to purchase and have access to firearms? If James Holmes had been professionally diagnosed (that's addressing our broken MH system), and there were a system in place that limited/restricted those who had legitimate diagnosis of dangerous mental illnesses (we're not talking depression and PTSD here- no-shit mental issues that are proven to have led people to murder) you'd oppose it? The mental illness thing is a potential slippery slope, but it's also an issue that needs to be addressed, whether you accept that or not.

The unintended consequences of this mental health database are incredibly dangerous.

But if you want to support that kind of gun control, go ahead.

You aren't the first person to suggest we always be nice and never say anything about the NRA. Noted. YEARS ago. Not compelled, and not going to change, as I suspect you aren't. Guess we can chalk that up to a difference of opinion, and yes, please, don't join RMGO if that's your opinion. If that's a hanging point, we don't want you as a member.

Is there another issue to solve here? I don't see one.

I'm no accountant, or MBA holder, but can someone explain to me how Dudley can claim on the 990 forms that he gets paid to work 55 hours per week for RMGO and 62 hours per week for NAGR?

That's a total of 117 hour work week (55 + 62)
That's 16.71 hours a day, 7 days a week (117 / 7)
There are 168 hours in a week (7 x 24)
That leaves 51 hours per week free (168 - 117)
That is 7.29 hours per day free (51 / 7)

7.29 hours a day for eating, bathing, traveling to and from work, and sleeping. And we're talking 7 days per week, every week of the year.

Like I stated, I'm no math major, but I'm not sure Dudley is getting paid enough for carrying such a tough work schedule.

YOUR attitude, ego, and ideals for starters...
