I don&#8217;t know who is writing this blog but I have found their reporting on the NRA&#8217;s bankruptcy hearings astute and incisive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how they describe themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We are a group of NRA members, all life or above, who are concerned about where our organization is being taken. In 2019, the 150 year-old NRA, the oldest civil rights organization in the country, was rocked by financial scandals. The New York Attorney General (It\u2019s a New York corporation) sued to dissolve its corporate charter, to kill it as a corporation. Since then its leadership and Board of Directors has consistently made the\u00a0<em>worst possible decisions<\/em>, feeding her ammunition. A good move would have been to announce it was concerned about the allegations, was going to seriously investigate, and remove or otherwise punish those responsible. She\u2019d have had no case then, yes there were problems, and NRA\u2019s board is curing them.<\/p><p>Instead, the choice was to purge those who supported an investigation, threaten any who might join them, cover up everything, keep those responsible, and hand them big bonuses. Members were told that nothing was wrong, her case was all lies and posed no danger. Then the Board filed for bankruptcy, spending millions to escape from that supposedly harmless suit.<\/p><p>The members deserve truth, and we will do our imperfect best to give it to them.<\/p><p>We can be contacted at: NRAlifer -at- protonmail.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I have only listened to some of the bankruptcy hearings. However, this one part from Day Five which included testimony from Judge Phil Journey just infuriated me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>At board special meeting in March, he was told his motion made him an enemy of NRA\u2019s position. Charles Cotton asked that anyone adverse to NRA not attend executive session, while staring at him. He attended anyway. Got up to speak at microphone, chair ignored him, refused to call on him and he eventually sat down. When they went back into open session he asked to speak on a point of personal privilege, his honor had been impugned, and people shouted him down and Willis Lee, 2nd VP and chair, ruled him out of order. So he was prevented from speaking to the rest of the board about the issues and why he had filed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A majority of the Board and especially the leadership are acting like petulant children. Their actions are more reminiscent of the behavior of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/826349?seq=1\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>members of the Soviet Politburo towards someone who had fallen out of Stalin&#8217;s favor<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will freely admit that I was taken in by Willes Lee.  I endorsed him not once but twice. I regret ever urging anyone to vote for that snake in the grass. The best I can say in my defense is that Willes was very good at cozying up to and playing members of the Second Amendment new media. That is, until he got what he wanted.
