Let’s Be Above Average

March 7, 2025 by 2 Comments

In another voting facts factoid from the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association, we learn that in the last five NRA Board elections that it took an average of 51,774 votes to be elected.

If what I’m hearing on the ground is accurate, it should take more than that to be elected. The reason being is that I’m hearing from long time members that they plan to vote for the first time. Moreover, they plan to vote for NRA 2.0 and reform.

If you have friends who are NRA members, ask them if they are a voting member? Ask them if they have voted yet? If they answer no, tell them they need to vote and they need to vote for NRA 2.0. While it might be nice to see the NRA returned to its former prominence, I am more concerned about it being an effective advocate for the Second Amendment and not worrying about who gets the credit for the win.

NRA Voting Facts

February 17, 2025 by 6 Comments

Our friends at the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association have been doing a deep dive into the voting statistics of the NRA. I used to say about 5% of voting members voted in each recent election. I was wrong. It is only marginally more than 3%! I have seen a greater turnout for municipal elections for coroner and Soil & Water Commissioner.

What this means is that the members of your average moderate sized gun club, if NRA voting members, could swing an election. The difference between being on the Board and being a runner-up is usually somewhere around 325 votes.

Speaking Of The Special Litigation Committee

December 10, 2024 by

As I have written about before, the NRA Board of Directors did vote to abolish the Special Litigation Committee. However, the parliamentarian ruled that while they had a majority, they did not have the super-majority needed to abolish the committee. Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Knox, the vote was both recorded AND published in the Official Journal.

Jeff Knox has an editorial on this in today’s Ammoland. The need for the SLC is over and control of the litigation needs to be returned to the entire board.

You should keep this issue in mind when you get your ballot for the 2025 election in mid-January 2025. Jeff has kindly outlined who is up for election that wants to keep this parasite of a committee. I am certainly not a disinterested observer on this as I am a candidate for the Board of Directors. As I have said in the past, I was shocked to be nominated by the Nominating Committee but was humbled and gratified to also be on the ballot by petition.

Those of us running on the reform ticket now have a website with biographical information and statements for each one of us. You can find that at https://electanewnra.com/. It also gives the core values to which each of has pledged ourselves. First and foremost, it is members first!

Here is a little reminder of who not to give your vote.
