Wayne LaPierre announces resignation as NRA chief – LaPierre’s resignation takes effect Jan. 31 [More]
I have to wonder what deal he cut to cover his legal costs and induce him to loosen his fingers.

School shootings increase NRA donations [More]
Not “prohibitionist feeding frenzies”…?
But never let that get in the way of “agenda science.”

That’s why he’s been hanging on for dear life.

I appreciate the editorial insert.
I never could get those folks to acknowledge my stuff on their own.

I’m wondering what the tax implications of funneling from a 501(c)3 to a 501(c)4 are and if anything could blow back on the donors…
Maybe it’s a dumb question, but if the tax code was easy to understand I wouldn’t have to ask it.
Lie Down with Dogs…?
In a case of politics making strange bedfellows, the National Rifle Association will be represented by frequent nemesis the American Civil Liberties Union in an appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]
So naturally, a Demanding Mom implies NRA is worse than KKK.

The Other Women
NRA has done something good, so it won’t hurt us to recognize that. Spreading this video far and wide can help promote RKBA and challenge prohibitionist lies. That includes throwing it in the faces of gun-grabbing Democrats in reply to their idiotic social media posts.
It needs to be followed up with a strong “Now Stop Voting for Democrats!” message, because that needs to change not just anecdotally, but dramatically.

Just Like She Knows What She’s Talking About
Sen. Gillibrand said Monday that new federal gun legislation has allowed authorities to prosecute hundreds of gun traffickers. [More]
Is it out of line to ask what “allows” the legislation?
Here’s the tax-funded propaganda the “real reporter” parroted from. And here’s the “report,” which on first glance appears to unintentionally confirm John Lott’s conclusions that concentrated Democrat crime areas do not justify blanket citizen disarmament.
And is Kirsten ever going to show us the answers she gave NRA when she was lying to them for an endorsement?

New York Gun Law: NRA Wins Compensation in Supreme Court Ruling [More]
How do you read the full story? I only see a headline, a clickbait slideshow and a summary description.
I had the same problem with another link someone sent me.
I guess the answer is just avoid MSN, and in this case, it looks like they’re riffing off almost two-month-old news.
Up for Consideration
Challenging the Challengers
Judge Phil Journey, Rocky Marshall, Dennis Fusaro, and [myself] Jeff Knox have all secured enough petition signatures from NRA Voting Members to have our names on the ballot in the 2024 Director Election… [More]
So, which one of you guys want to either provide responsive answers to my challenge or admit the “single issue” connection and tell us what you’re going to do about it?
FAFO
As the NRA fades, a more zealous US pro-gun group rises as a lobbying power [More]
Well, that’s what happens when you keep pushing.
Look now for the violence monopolists to try and destroy GOA leaders.
They’re probably too stupid to realize that will just motivate even more zealous gun owners.

Where Credit is Due
The Supreme Court Should Not Let Bureaucrats Invent Crimes by Rewriting the Law – The Trump administration’s unilateral ban on bump stocks turned owners of those rifle accessories into felons. [More]
Let’s not forget the role Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox played in paving the way (and good luck finding their joint statement on the NRA website anymore).
Pointing all that out and more seems to make some people uncomfortable. One angry reader canceled his subscription over it.
You know the type.
