Sorry Folks, But the NRA Ain’t Going Away.

Over the past few years, especially since Mike Spies did his great reportage on the hi-jinks going on in the NRA’s home office, I find myself again and again having to take some of the wind out of Gun-control Nation’s sails regarding whether America’s ‘first civil rights organization’ will find a way to stay afloat.

And my belief remains unchanged that the NRA will continue to function even if the organization’s current trial in New York on corruption charges ends in a verdict which hits the group smack in the middle of its organizational and financial geezer, okay?

And by the way, I don’t notice any great departure of the membership since Wayne LaPierre resigned from the leadership position he’s held for the past 33 years. In fact, the news that he’s decided to ‘retire’ was greeted, organizationally-speaking, with a big yawn.

What has always bothered me about my friends in Gun-control Nation who see the NRA as America’s great bogey man is that I can’t find one of them who has even the slightest idea or experience about what the NRA is or what it does. After all, if you’re actively trying to reduce gun violence, why would you cough up a whole, big $45 to join the organization whose activities you need to at least understand if you’re going to make an assault on 2nd-Amendment ‘rights?’
