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.
Cheers,
Peter
