Each and every one of us, NRA Member or not, who loves the 2nd Amendment, to stand up against those willing to do us wrong. The NRA Leadership has been misusing funds for their own purposes. Funds which were meant to help protect our freedoms for generations to come. Funds which we all worked hard for and donated out of our love for freedom. Funds which were meant for one purpose and taken away. This gathering must be a big wake up call to them to see that we will fight them as a membership and as patriots!



The NRA in it's current form will never REPRESENT us properly. This is the time to make it right. We need to save it from the ashes and bring it back as an organization that represents all gun owners and all those who understand why the 2nd Amendment is as important as the 1st Amendment. A strong NRA is critical to the upcoming election as our voices need to be heard as a single, powerful, call to arms. We must back the right politicians who understand the Constitution and their duty to defend it. If we wait too long to fix things, we will go into next year with an unloaded weapon and without the our strength. This is the time to act!



The 2nd Amendment is critical to this country's survival. If we allow ourselves to be disarmed, we will go down as the biggest failure of a people in history. Willingly giving up power to the ruling class, who is so careless with leadership, money, and power. Those who would take everything from us to keep themselves at the top. You don't see these folks who strip us of our rights giving up anything they have to prove their point do you? NO!!!! Those in power want more power and with an unarmed state, they can rule without fear or consequence!



It is now OUR TIME. As a community, we must band together and show ourselves as a force for change. We need to set a date, agree to gather together for this cause, and call FOR CHANGES to the NRA!!!!

Due to expected weather, time needed for word to spread, and to make this viable, we have narrowed it down to these potential dates:

1) Saturday November 3rd

2) Saturday November 10th

3) Saturday November 17th



November 10th may be the best choice and is also the 65th anniversary (1954) of the Marine Corps War Memorial. (The Iwo Jima statue is unveiled at the USMC War Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. The cast bronze memorial is based on the iconic photo of the raising of the Flag on Iwo Jima by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal and President Dwight D. Eisenhower performed the dedication ceremony.)



This will be in the DC area!!!



This effort is for all of us, so please share your thoughts, other ideas for dates, or ask questions. I will do everything I can to answer. View Quote



You will have some museum/gift shop employees, and indoor range employees plus people going to the museum or range. These people will not be influenced by a bunch of pissed off members.



YOU NEED TO BE THERE ON MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY!!! That why the higher up NRA employees will see us.



Now a better plan would be to have a protest at the NRA convention, where a lot of voting members, board members, employees, and even vendors will see us and how pissed we are! The plan is doomed to fail and here is why, NO ONE IMPORTANT WILL BE AT NRA HEADQUARTERS ON SATURDAY!!!You will have some museum/gift shop employees, and indoor range employees plus people going to the museum or range.
