    If the NRA goes down for good. It’s a major PR victory for the anti-gun movement. Although other organizations will pop up, the shear optics of it will embolden the next generation of anti-gun lobbyist. The NRA needs a top down cleansing but I don’t think it will happen. Wayne makes to much money off of it.

    It might be worse for a while but it will never get significantly better so long as the NRA is sucking all the air out of the 2A/RKBA ecosystem.

    About a year after Eastern Airlines had failed I was flying as First Officer in a puddle jumper and we had occasion to fly into Atlanta Hartsfield. As we were taxiing to our arrival gate we went past several unoccupied gates and I asked the Captain what was up with all the empty gates. He said Atlanta used to be an Eastern hub and those were Eastern's old gates. And he continued explaining that those empty gates proved that the airline industry had over-expanded. Because if there were market enough to support it, the existing airlines would have expanded their operations into and out of Atlanta and would be utilizing those gates.

    That to me seems the hallmark of the American economic system. There are enough aggressive business sharks around that no (obvious) opportunity goes unexploited for long. If the NRA goes under I think you will explosive growth in organizations like GOA, SAF, USCCA, JFGO, etc. Or maybe the NRA will emerge reborn from the ashes.

    But I think this bloodletting is a necessity to bring the 2A/RKBA movement back to full health because the NRA is squandering vast amounts of capital that the gun community is pouring into it. And they won't let go of that sugar teat without a fight. So let the blow come swiftly and the blood run red.

    This could be an ideal time for all this to come pass because the demoncrats are going to take a drubbing in 2020. The only reason they managed to take the house in 2018 was that 55 spineless Republicans retired because they didn't want to be part of the disaster that would be Donald J. Trump.

    Only Potus45 has proved to be anything but a disaster. And between the demoncrat's hard left turn and the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), not only are they not separating Trump from his base (in fact his job ratings thus far have been the most stable of any US President at this point since they've been keeping records), there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that large numbers of moderates are growing sympathetic to him because he's the only one standing against the dim's lunacy.

    So they can whinge all they want, the dims won't make any significant inroads in this political climate until the 2022 election cycle, if then. But that's assuming that Trump doesn't go wobbly on 2A/RKBA in the interim (his stance on the bump-fire stock gives reason for concern).

    As for the NRA, fuck 'em. The first rule of combat is no one is irreplaceable.

    You should have thought about it before you decided you wanted to speak your mind.
