NRA Was WLP's Personal Piggy Bank

He had them pay for everything under the sun, from private jet travel for decades (up to $50K a month) to mundane shit like Apple TV+ for his wife and treating his backyard for mosquitoes. he also extended the "the NRA will pay for everything I do" grift to his personal aide.

At this point, maybe someone can suggest how the NRA can be reformed. NYAG James may have been trying to shut down the NRA for political reasons, but her investigation has indeed uncovered a cesspit of corruption and self-enrichment. Everybody involved, including the toadies on the Board of Directors, needs to go. I'm not sure if it can be reformed. If the NRA was a building, all that might be salvagable would be the cellar hole.

I also wonder if the IRS is watching this and figuring out who, beside WLP, they can go after for not reporting income-in-kind.

  1. Unlike you I do not believe in the 2nd Amend as a “constitutional right”. I simply place importance on the first words ,i.e., A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,

    The amendment speaks to a well regulated militia. Back in the day that was this country’s Self Defense. Remember too that our forefathers had an adverse opinion on standing armies as they feared such armies could/would align with the Exec. Branch, thereby in turn back to a “monarchy”.

    I’m not saying guns should be illegal, just that it should be a states right. New Jersey and Texas’ laws would be quite different.

    And the Haller decision was BS by a right wing zealot who convinced enough folks to go along with it.

    WLP embodies all the disgusting things of the gun lobby.

  2. Old FAAer: Disagree. WLP is corrupt. How that ties into the rest of the so-called "gun lobby" isn't clear from anything other than your personal dislike.

    Do better, please.

  3. I left the NRA in the 90's when they called me and told me they were sending me a book about my 2A rights. Then told me I was sending them $24.99 or so. I told them then it would be unsolicited mail and it would go directly into the trash. I realized the changes in their focus and it seemed that they were more worried about the money. Plus I don't like anyone telling me how to spend my money (wife is an exception).

  4. RE: 2A you forgot the comma. So using only a sentence fragment
    is ether bad grammar, or outright misrepresentation.

    Its Heller... not Haller.

    WLP was a crook and compromised everything he touched.


    Eck!
