There is a masterfully coordinated divide and conquer effort underway with the NRA being the primary (current) target.
I submit if we sit idly by and allow Soros, CNN & Co. take down the NRA, then GOA and SAF won't be far behind.
Personally, I will be sending money to all those organizations as well as Texas State Rifle Association...
I hope those of y'all with beefs against NRA can see the jeopardy we are all in if they fail. As LRRPF52 said, the NRA does A LOT of good for gun owners. Like all things in life, nothing is perfect (which is why I also support GOA and SAF).
Just my humble $.02

Hey Guys,
Now its the weekend I can sit down and type on a real computer instead of my phone and type better than on a tiny screen. I was part of an NRA Members Council for a while before I moved to TX and I am a lifetime NRA member.
It is very important that you understand that due to the laws in this country that regulate political fundraising that the NRA and the NRA-ILA are two separate organizations and are both limited in what they can use donated funds for. Technically there are three donation recipient options, I'll get to that later.
What do you want you donated monies to be used for? If you donate to the wrong organization your monies will potentially be unable to be used for what you actually intended for them to be used for.
For monies donated to the NRA
- These will go to support the organization's operations in general, this includes training, education and outreach programs.
For monies donated to the NRA-ILA
- These monies will go to support political activism. Specifically these monies will support efforts to pass good gun laws and against bad gun laws.
Finally there is the NRA-PVF, the Political Victory Fund. If you donate monies to the NRA-PVF
- These monies will go to support election of candidates that support gun rights.
If you are going to the effort or are all personally charged up with energy to fight or support gun laws and you donate to NRA or NRA-PVF you will have wasted your donated monies, you should have donated to NRA-ILA.
If you are going to the effort to help support education programs, reaching out to people and you donate to the NRA-ILA or NRA-PVF you will have wasted your donated monies, you should have donated to the NRA.
If you are going to the effort to support the election of individuals to office that support gun rights and you donate to the NRA or NRA-ILA you will have wasted your donated monies, you should have donated to the NRA-PVF.
NRA ain't my favorite, but I'll send them some bucks. I'll send twice as much to Gun Owners of America. Well, I already sent a chunk to GoA so NRA can have half.
I on my own have not done a fraction of the good NRA has accomplished. I won't quibble.
Thanks, PeterD, for taking the time to explain the important differences in the organizations, an dhow the funding $$ will be utilized. Your information will certainly help me more accurately target my funding $$ in the future.
If the Democrats had been in power when this country was founded, we'd be the British.

You don't hear that other than a few Fudd hold-outs and poseurs presenting to be gun-owners now. SHOT Show is a big reflection of this. You used to not see many black rifle booths, everything was Fuddville and Real Tree camo, jerkey, knives, custom wood stocks, blue steel and walnut.
Now those booths are looked at strangely as people walk by.
I remember the American Riflemen cover from one of the issues in 1989, with all the AR15s, AKs, HKs, etc. on the front as examples of what had been banned by CA legislature, with a warning that this could happen to the Nation now. They were right.
I did my NRA certs much later, nowhere near when my grandfather was alive.
I'm in for the 24th.
Also an NRA member.
If the Libs hate it so much, then they must be doing a lot of good.
I don't read all of their posts but I do support what they (I mean, WE) do and stand for.
"Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"
They are taking the brunt of the collectivist's current political assault at the moment.
100% agreement with NRA policies is not needed to shore up the defenses.
A donation, even if it's just a one-time donation, could serve to give the RINO squishes a bit of backbone and show the Globalist Hive we are steadfast in our convictions.

Hey Pot, this is Kettle, over.
(just saying ;-)
Don't forget to donate to your favorite 2A group on the 24th...especially given the news coverage of the "spontaneous" school walk-outs today.
