[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1702060, member: 9308"] I am against 'corruption' in any system, be it our gov't or the NRA. But I don't see the NRA or Mr. LaPierre as being corrupt. There is a board that oversees the NRA, so it would be pretty difficult for any one member to take the organization "off the rails". Perhaps it is just something in the e-mail that bothered you and that's fine. Sometimes things just strike us 'wrong'. You are entitled to your feelings and can clearly take any action you feel is right. My take is this - the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) does the heavy lifting for helping us retain the 2nd Amendment right guaranteed us in the Bill of Rights, a part of the Constitution. They have accomplished this by lobbying members of the Congress and Senate and letting us (NRA members) know who is on 'our' side and who is going to vote to throw the Constitution down the drain. They have the experience and connections to influence legislators, with our help (by VOTING and writing and calling our representatives.) The NRA is not perfect. It would be nice if they were. But I'm not so naive as to think our rights wouldn't have been sent down the path of Australia and Great Britain without the work of the NRA and the 5+ million members of it. If you "quit" on the NRA, you hurt all of us. Perhaps you'll throw your money and support to the Gun Owners of America (GOA) instead? That would be good. Just don't leave the "fight" because you are upset with one guy (LaPierre.) Keep this is mind: [B]"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
