Greg Raymer shows his ass on national tv
 
Raymer is an uninformed idiot.
He said on PAD that the NRA only had a few hundred members but lots of money.
The NRA has millions of members and the only reason they have lots of money is because of us members.
Does he think that that money falls from the skys?
Just like all the gun grabing democrats that cry the nra is so powerfull cause they have so much money they always leave out the only reason is because so many members pony up $20 or more each year to make them that way.
The nra isn't some secret money machine it is by the people and for the people and has been around for over 100 years.
I like you Greg but get your facts straight before you run your mouth.
I the PPA could do the same thing we would be set.

I had been told by a person I trusted that the NRA only had a few hundred thousand members. I said it on TV. Apparently, they were mistaken, and I repeated bad information. Sorry.

BTW, chill out. It's not a big deal, is it?

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

It kinda is a big deal.
Put yourself in our shoes, we have been beat down for years by bad propaganda just like poke has been.
Like I said I like you Greg I just want you to have your facts straight when you say stuff like this on national tv.

Like many others I'm guessing, at first I thought Greg mooned a cameraman or something.


by the way - did you two see that you are talking about very different numbers?
Just wanted to make sure.

32%: Approximate percentage of NRA members eligible to vote for the board
3.2%: Approximate percentage of NRA members who actually vote
68%: Percentage of Americans who support extending the federal assault weapons ban
57%: Percentage of gun owners who support the ban
32%: Percentage of NRA members who support the ban
$3,140,346: Amount of NRA’s disclosed campaign spending in 2000
$20,000,000: Estimated amount of NRA’s undisclosed campaign spending on issues ads, etc., in 2000
12%: Percent of the NRA’s annual budget spent on the 2000 elections
$892,166: Minimum amount earned through salary and benefits by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre in 2005.
$35: Annual membership fee to join the NRA
25,490: The number of members it takes just to pay LaPierre’s 2005 earnings.

Still doesn't mean most of the bad 'propaganda' about the NRA isn't true. Greg just messed up one fact. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

BTW... very misleading post title.
