I was reading this morning more useless nonsense about the toxic excrement show going on at the NOW defunct and going belly up, NRA. One reader referred to Wayne LaPierre and members of the NRA’s Board of Directors as scumbags. I guess that about best describes them all and the vote of no confidence present within the membership.
If nothing else comes out of the dog and pony sideshow, perhaps members will finally get it that the NRA is NOT anyone’s friend because of their continued slow destruction of the Second Amendment. For many, many years members, stupid enough to give these bought and paid for “lobbyists” their money to perform more magic shows, were clueless as to what exactly was going on. Maybe now some of them are beginning to see the light.
To those with an honest perspective on things, i.e. not so unquestioningly automated in blindly following a corrupt organization, have known for decades that the NRA has done a magnificent job of pulling the wool over the eyes of their members. The NRA has slowly and with purpose whittled away at making the Second Amendment a worthless document, ensuring that American serfs are never guaranteed an unalienable right to self defense and to keep and bear arms, and instead eager to allow the government (where the majority of NRA administrators got their training) to mete out privileges as they deem appropriate. To accomplish this the NRA piled gobs of greenbacks in their bank coffers to pay the exorbitantly high salaries of their heads like Wayne LaPierre, while concentrating their operational business with good-ole-boy companies and legal firms.
Perhaps the real leadership, those who control what the NRA does, has decided that this incrementalism of Second Amendment destruction isn’t going fast enough. Perhaps they have decided that it is time to destroy the NRA in order to provide a gap, even if it’s a false gap, in their false gun rights activism and money grubbing ways, in order to move the process of ridding the country, once and for all, of any thoughts of a person’s right to keep and bear arms.
When you consider that the NRA is headquartered in the “Holy Roman” Empire State, a state whose government has all power and control over this “not for profit” (wink-wink) organization, shouldn’t members have been asking why?
When you realize that the heads of the NRA, over time, have manipulated the structure of the organization in such a way that the current Chief Executive and Executive Vice President of the NRA has near dictatorial status and can do pretty much just as he damn well pleases, shouldn’t members have been asking why?
When you realize that Wayne LaPierre was “raised in the Catholic Church” and was Jesuit-trained at Boston College, and now turns a blind eye to the calls of millions of NRA members for him to go, shouldn’t members be asking why?
The damage has been done. Any thoughts that American serfs had in the power of the NRA to protect their Second Amendment rights went out the window a long time ago. Now, the destruction of the organization itself, perhaps deliberately so, lies in the balance. It’s probably too late for the NRA to right itself and maybe that is the conspiratorial purpose all along.
With successes with infighting and disgruntled members, little credibility remains with the NRA which opens the door for an onslaught of anti gun legislations at state and federal levels. What was once a slow, trickling death, will soon turn into a steady flow rendering the United States Corporation of meted out privileges another disarmed country that can very easily set the stage for eventual dictatorial rule with no fear of citizen opposition or more accurately, a citizenry capable of fighting back.
Members should be asking themselves who, exactly, does control the NRA and what is their real purpose?
