The way it lost power was the folks who turned on them instead of pushing for change.
Bad mouth em and watch it implode, make the left happy and lose our guns.
GOA ain’t big enough or tough enough to do the job.

LOL Just how do you effect change when you don't have a vote capable of making those changes?
A decade + of trying to clean out that rat nest by multiple honest NRA supporters has resulted in absolutely nada.
So just how will that change happen? What is different now? Sad that it took NY to shine more light on the roaches. Keep feeding them, they have no reason to leave.
Help me understand how I can help fund this with my $ that I have to actually work for, his expense budget in a month is multiple times more than my entire year's salary... and I wonder what the total is for all the handpicked BOD members?
Not just bad stewards of the members $ , but worthless crooks.
"In 2014, NRA contributions totaled $103 million and LaPierre's compensation was $985,885. In 2015, NRA contributions totaled $95 million. In that year, LaPierre received a $3.7 million deferred compensation distribution from his "employee funded deferred compensation plan", which was required by federal law, and according to the NRA raised his total annual compensation to $5,110,985."
Not a matter of turning against them, more a matter of enough is enough.
What they have done in the past, what all those dedicated people have done to get the needed training, and then sharing that knowledge with the rest of us is exactly why enough is enough. The aristocracy of the NRA do not represent the 99% of its members.... yet they have 100% of the control... Why are any of the Board and Executive staff not directly voted in by the membership?
Their member numbers are dropping and everyone else's is growing, sadly that is where the future defense of our rights as gun owners will be coming from. They will be getting bigger as more NRA members see that doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is not working out so good.

The question is now does he ride off into the sunset with the NRA dissolved or does he get ran off by a court appointed trustee. I can't see him resigning, I heard rumblings today that the court may dissolve the board and voting members would select a new board but I'm not holding my breath.
