Thanks for the donation
Some hippie wants to take over the NRA by getting his fellow lefties to join.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

And the unspoken counterpoint is that the NRA does allow members to decide the direction of the organization.
Where the Bloomberg groups….

The antis are CONSTANTLY talking about this, but it never happens.
Why? because the NRA Annual meeting draws 75,000+ people every year, and Bloomberg can only bus in a few hundred supporters (many of whom he paid to be there) to a one-time DC protest.

Yes, thanks for the donation. Which will be substantial if they want to redirect policy. As I remember it, the NRA allows only LIFE members voting rights to decide the direction of the organization. Has that changed?

And life membership costs $1000. I don’t think that any welfare lib could afford to sidetrack that much cash from his drug buying.
Plus they wouldn’t attend any of the annual meetings because of all of those scary guns.

The Old Coach beat me to it.
You have to be a member for multiple years (is it five consecutive) before you get to vote in NRA elections.
AND, exactly how will joining the NRA (and successfully voting out Wayne LaPierre, who is only an Executive Vice President) help to ban guns in the US?
Last I knew, the gun laws in the US were made by, you know, LEGISLATORS, not the NRA.

“Last I knew, the gun laws in the US were made by, you know, LEGISLATORS, not the NRA.”
Intelligent people know that, not liberals.

These supposed liberals are not. They oppose Liberty for the people to exercise the most basic right of armed self defense. Nor are they anti-gun, but pro gun for hired guns who will do the shooting and killing of their fellow pro liberty citizens for them. But their big mistake is that they think those hired guns will be their protectors, something which history conclusively disproves.

Let’s say his plan worked and they were able to vote LaPierre out and Bloomberg in.
Do they really think gun owners would just go “Well, the NRA got taken over, guess I’ll just turn in all my guns”?
Honestly, I bet they DO think that. They are so conditioned to follow orders, they assume everyone else will just bend their knees at the alter of the state too.
Damn, if they ain’t wrong.

A quick look shows (roughly) 100,000 people vote in NRA board elections (average of a couple of quickly googled up numbers, rounded down to a nice round number because my point doesn’t require precision).
Just how many anti-gunners do they think they can drum up for this? I don’t think we have to worry, I don’t think they have anywhere close to the numbers for this to work.

The NRA is the most well known pro gun rights organization, but Rob makes a good point. There are other pro gun groups to which NRA members could go IF such an unlikely scenario happened. But there are some who would stay, just as they do with Republicans and Democrats who have and are selling them out.
