What do you guys think is going to happen here? Do you think the NRA is going to disappear?

I think the NRA is going to face an investigation from the AG of the state of New York, they are, after all, a New York corporation. The IRS will likely be investigating as well.

The NRA is going to be around a lot longer than Coumo.

Is it true that guns are not allowed at the NRA convention?

Yes and no.

It’s venue specific. Some years they hold it at convention centers that do want guns inside and they honor the property owners requirements. Other years it’s held at places that don’t have that rule.

So whether they allow them or not isn’t a function of the nra. It’s a function of where it’s being held.

Cuomo is not the AG of New York…

AG James sent a preservation letter to the NRA on Friday…

N.R.A. President to Step Down as New York Attorney General Investigates...

Oliver L. North announced that he would not serve a second term as the N.R.A. deals with bitter infighting and a new inquiry into its tax-exempt status.

The war is Coumo’s war, not the AG’s. But since you want to nitpick, the NRA will also be around a lot longer than the current AG.

The AG ran on investigating the NRA… They have made it very easy for her… Cuomo’s war is another front somewhat related but separate from AG James battle… If even half the self-dealing alleged turns out to be true, the fines and revocation of their non-profit status will have a lasting impact…

As I said, the NRA will be around a lot longer than the current AG.

The NRA’s biggest problem is that they have won so much in recent years. Guns are everywhere in the US and almost every attempt to have gun control has failed. Now with Trump in office, what’s the point of giving them your support? Second Amendment activists have pretty much gotten their way at every point.

Second Amendment activists

strange turn of phrase. I think I like it. I’m a Bill of Rights activist.

I’m a vegetable rights activist.

Maybe I should have said “gun freaks.”

Or “Constitutionalists”
“Americans”
“Citizens”
“Men”

Their political arm is falling apart.

MoleUK:

It has genuinely amazed me over the past 10 years to see the level of graft and hucksterism that exists within the American conservative political movement.

This is just more of the same.

Not me.

Conservative grifters have perfect cover.

If they get investigated, the start yelling “persecution by the Liberal Deep State!” into every microphone.

A little late at this point.

Leaving AFTER he has completely run the NRA into the ground. Now the vultures will just pick over the corpse.
