The NRA's enemies are always out to get it. That doesn't mean there aren't kernels of truth in what's been reported.

The argument 'trust us' doesn't work so well in this era. Folks have been failed by too many institutions that we can all name, churches - charities - governments. How to spot a floundering campaign or country, it's the one shouting "ignore the media." That's a little too much like a collapsing communist state screaming 'ignore the imperialists', 'don't listen to the western broadcasts', 'rock n roll and bluejeans are a CIA plot,' right before crashing into the dustbin of history.

The new 1st VP gives me hope. But there may be some harsh medicine required. NRA can try to spin eye popping lifestyle expenditures all it wants, but the guy buying his membership year-to-year isn't going to buy it.

We need a strong NRA moving into a critical decade. More Warren Buffett frugality and less la noblesse.

It's not the left we need to worry about because they really can't hate the NRA any more than they already do.

It's the membership and those who would like to support the NRA that our nations oldest gun rights organization needs to worry about.
