Well she's dead meat now..........

Thanks, 'Trax.

I will go out on a limb now and assert that neither CH or Vernon will admit to satisfaction on this point, which was never vital to any thesis. I had used the word "plenty". To me, even $1M is plenty, but apparently not to those guys (LOL). Vernon is actually several attacks behind now in offering condemnation, which is remarkable considering how quick he is to sniff at others if they don't act to his timetable. He also doesn't know the difference between a Facist and Social Democrat, which is saying something for a History Major.

He's not going to answer you. As I have pointed out before, he's a narcissist, and believes reality has to conform to his imagination -- so he doesn't need sources or evidence.

Had many clients with a fantastic imagination, especially in the psych hospital. To be a good Nazi one must have a vivid sense of "reality" when those around them see ???????

*Or*, we could keep our cease-fire in place, Sam. I've left you be. Think about it.

It IS most certainly vital to the slanderous thesis, repeated almost every time the media launches an attack on NRA, that NRA is the official, paid mouthpiece for the gun industry--I've heard it repeated by TV commentators a thousand times as an unquestioned fact, but never once with even the pretense of providing documentation for the allegation. And you can't do it either, though you have no hesitation in repeating this blatant smear.

I. Funding Summary
Membership dues totaling $175,577,863 contributed the largest percentage (50.5%) of the
NRA’s total revenue of $347,968,789 in 2013, the most recent year for which data are available.
The next biggest sources were $96.4 million from private contributions and grants (27.7%),
$27.61 million from unrelated business income (7.9%), and $24.5 million from advertising
income (7%).4
[See Appendix A for charts of all income sources reported by the NRA on its IRS
990 forms.]
Since 2004, fundraising revenue from contributions has grown twice as fast as income from
membership dues. The $96.4 million of contributions in 2013 represented a 108.2% increase
over the $46.3 million in contributions in 2004. This difference can be attributed to a shift in
fundraising strategy starting in 2005, when the NRA put more focus on soliciting donations from
individuals and corporations (including 22 gun manufacturers). As a result, the NRA’s finances
became more entwined with the success of the gun industry.

I googled yesterday and came up with similar,

also found an article on CNN that talked about how the NRA was somewhat unique in getting majority funds from individuals, vs corporations and grants,




however,


I'll admit the NRA is a flawed organization, most are,

I'm a life member, solely because it was cheaper to be a life member vs paying yearly when I was a competitor (Service Rifle )
the NRA was the score keeper, and administrator for the matches,

I think the fact that they let the hughes amendment get thru, as well as the Bush ban in 89, was a mistake,




also curious about something,,

one of our esteemed memebers, who actually posts down below, mentions mag limits and no one catches that, not posts a rebuttal,
yet keys are pounded to point fingers at each other again, over this Nazi crap

yall amaze me

These guys live in their imagination. One of these days they're going to imagine the light is green, and T-bone someone.

Quote me.

And while you're at it, tell me the name of the organization that does represent the shooting industry, since you assert the NRA does not take on that mission. URL please.

With my former clients when they would not listen, I just stood back and watch the implosion. One has only 25 more years to serve, others have grave markers and one went to school...medical school.

Compare sizes. NSSF is a much smaller outfit (and quieter). Quieter is not always bad.

Interesting article.

Anyhow you've illustrated my point, which is that people who are locked into the NRA's view see little to no reason to tolerate contrary views.

No, but it's the difference between a professional org & one composed of individual paying members who want to be heard. NSSF doesn't have that problem.
