This from my latest NRA email:
"President Biden just revealed his radical agenda to take away your gun rights.
He looked point-blank into the camera and told us he wants to ban every semi-automatic firearm in the country, outlaw all private gun sales, and bog down gun manufacturers in endless lawsuits.
Now more than ever we need you to stand with NRA and defend your gun rights from President Biden and his gun ban agenda."
I realize that they want me to donate more to the NRA. But, I can't find anything on the statement above. Anybody seen this? or have a link to such?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an old statement.
I got fed up with the NRA long ago, yes they are trying to take guns, but every single time I heard from the NRA it was an alarmist letter begging for money.

Well Lapierre looked straight at the camera and said he wasn't padding his pockets with NRA money either so there is that.
As bad as it sounds, anymore I trust the ACLU to fight more for gun rights and actually win than I do the NRA.

This has been happening long before this administration imo. You purchase a gun, you fill out paperwork. For what? Does anyone believe that gets thrown away? Look at the news. Someone commits a crime with a weapon. Weapon gets tracked back to original purchase years before. How does that happen if they have not kept records for years. It falls under the you'd be shocked if you know what our government actually does file.

It falls under the you'd be shocked if you know what our government actually does file. Of course it's been going on for years. It's easy enough to trace a firearm from the manufacturer, to the wholesale and resale distribution chain to its first retail purchaser. After that, it's almost impossible (especially when you consider the number of private sales) to trace a firearm. As a matter of fact, I've known people who won't buy new firearms so as to avoid any chance of the "Feds" tracing any firearms directly back to them. One last point...If Wayne LaPierre truly cared about 2nd amendment rights he would resign/retire from the NRA as support for him has waned over the years substantially.

LaPierre and his cronies are 100% of the reason why I dropped my NRA membership. Nothing but a bunch of "suits" masquerading as outdoorsmen. No thanks.

If they need money so bad why don't they sell off some of their property in New Mexico. It's basically a private hunting club for NRA big shots.

Lifetime loyal NRA member here, but LaPierre needs to go away, and we need some fresh leadership that is more recognizable with younger folks.
