I’m a member of the NRA Board and the chair of NRA’s Finance Committee.
I see that you are supporting SAF and FPC in their litigation efforts.
NRA has made great strides in righting the ship over the last year. I did an interview at the NRA convention talking about the changes we’ve made:
I hope that in addition to the support you’re rendering to SAF and FPC, you’ll consider supporting NRA CRDF or NRA-ILA as well.
I watched the video. He enumerates a lot of the changes made and changes yet to be made. He emphatically asserts the NRA is back as the 800-pound gorilla as we knew them decades ago.
I have not verified everything said in the interview. However, it was very encouraging about the future of the NRA and its current ability to be an effective and efficient fighter for our right to keep and bear arms. Please watch it for yourself and make your own decisions.
Many years ago, I gave the NRA (in writing) the requirements for me to ever rejoin.
1. Fire LaPierre (took decades, but finally).
2. Actually support the Second Amendment (maybe).
3. Stop taking credit for other organizations’ work.
4. APOLOGIZE for decades of promoting and supporting victim disarmament (and then fundraising to pretend to oppose what they were actually responsible for; think NFA bump-stock “macineguns,” among others)
5. And on a personal level, they’d have to apologize for repeatedly canceling my once-membership and demanding that I renew and pay up again. I figure they probably still owe me 2+ years of canceled subscription.
4 and 5 will never happen.

I just renewed my NRA membership yesterday. I have been a member for around 7 years. I was a member a number of years ago, but quit a few years back due to my disgust with the direction that they were going in.
The one thing that truly concerns me is the NRA Foundation, which has taken a bunch of the “bad apples” of the old guard board members, and changed the rules so that only themselves are able to place members on their board. Oh, plus the fact that they control over 200 million dollars that the NRA members donated to the foundation, thinking that it would be used for the right purposes. In the meantime I think that the NRA coffers hold like 18 million dollars.

Watch the video. All those issues are discussed.
