My nra jacket

[GOPHER SLAYER]

My wife , without my knowledge ordered me an NRA jacket and hat. It is beautiful. I was joking that it arrived at the wrong time of year. This morning we had breakfast at a small local cafe. No tables were available inside so we ate on the patio. A cool wind came up and we were freezing. I could have used the new jacket.

Very nice jacket. The NRA is still a great organization that just needs to clear out its leadership.

Probably the finest - Chinese leather, that is...

[john.k]

Probably not...a lot of leather product come from Pakistan or South Africa these days ,thats the budget end of the market I can afford ,anyway.......more expensive comes from custom made to measure shops that can be anywhere.

[GOPHER SLAYER]

Yes, my wife is a jewel beyond price. Come June 13th {it was a Friday} she will have put up with me for 63 years. The jacket was made in Pakistan of a high quality leather. I love the smell of leather. Properly cared for it will still be in great shape when my Grandson gets it. My sweetheart also bought me on of the heavy canvas jackets.

[smithnframe]

Very nice……..I have one of their heavy canvas jackets!

I agree with bakerjw and Mr.Wolf....it is time to reset the total leadership and the way they elect them!

[shooterg]

NRA is like the country . Mostly good people with poor leaders !
Lot of leather products are made from US cowhide , even foreign made ball gloves . Labor so cheap in the 3rd world we can ship hides there and ship back in a finished product for less than making here . We still eat plenty of beef so plenty of hides !

Your sarcasm detector needs calibration.

[john.k]

I dont see any sarcasm...simple statement of facts....and custom leather is very expensive ,beyond my budget.

thank you for supporting the biggest ally we have in the fight for our second amemendment rights. they may have some bad apples but they still do more to protect my guns then some here that cant wait to take a poke at them and do nothing.

[kerplode]

Enjoy it. It looks like a nice jacket, and your wife is a dear for giving it to you. I wouldn't want or wear one, but you do you.

The NRA is dead to me, and Wayne can EABOD and die. They're toast after that bankruptcy sham. Leticia James is going to shut them down hard. Wayne and his cronies are thieves and have been stealing YOUR money and using it to enrich themselves rather than support the 2A. I don't understand how you can continue to support them while Wayne is at the helm stealing your ****. You're like a battered wife, or something. "Oh, he only hits me when he's drunk, but he's a really good guy and he loves me, and he sticks up for my second amendment rights." OK, boomer.

Anyway, I gave $100 to GOA in your honor after our last NRA is Awesome thread, Lloyd...What have you done lately? I'm sure Wayne appreciated the donation, whatever it was.

Well its really none of your business but im a life member of the nra and send a check to both the Nra and goa every year. Im also a member of a local gun rights organization and am active in fund raising for it and all of our money goes to the Nra and goa. Now ask yourself where our gun rights would be today if the NRA never existed!! Do you buy cars and trucks. How much of that money goes to gready ceos. What about your cell phone and computer. Who do you think makes big money off of them? Silicone valley and the liberals that run it. But then you still support them! Im not a fan of wayne either. Id like to see him gone. If EVERY gun owner in this country joined the nra theyd have the power to whip any of those nut case liberals and wed also have the voting power to send wayne down the road. I guess though sticking your head in the sand and complaining will surely get more done. That kind of attitude is just what the liberals want to instill in us. They want us to DETEST then NRA. They know when the NRA goes down so does our fight.

The NRA is a nonprofit organization. Automobile companies are in business to make a profit. It is not a fitting comparison.

[Lloyd Smale]

you support them by spending your money. Dont see how that doesnt compare

[Ickisrulz]

The difference is that when I buy a car I understand the company is making a profit and it is up to them on what they do with it.

When I purchase an NRA membership or make a donation, I expect the bulk of the money go to fighting for the 2A with a small percentage going to the organization's overhead.

A good "charity" or non-profit organization is considered to be one that uses no more than 25% of its incoming funds for overhead. How much does the NRA spend on overhead? I cannot find that number anywhere.

I don't not like the idea that Wayne's salary starts off at a million/year. Yet ordinary members are harassed for donations perpetually because the situation is always dire and the money is needed. How about some salary cuts at the top of the leadership?

There is a reason that the NRA is in legal trouble.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the NRA has done ZERO for me in Massachusetts. Zip. Zero. This is where the fight is, in states like MA. Big companies won't even ship new, unprimed brass to me here. I belong to GOA and GOAL, though I'm having doubts about GOA at this local level.
