I’ll bet they do. And for good reason.

The National Rifle Association’s internal turmoil is preventing the once-mighty organization from crafting a plan to blunt the latest gun control push, highlighting the group’s weakness at a crucial political moment.
The disarray at the NRA is alarming allies who say President Donald Trump and Congress appear to have a brief opening to pass legislation while the group is so politically feeble it isn’t able to aggressively lobby lawmakers against proposals or hold them accountable for their votes, according to a half-dozen Republicans familiar with the situation.
“There’s no coordinated effort,” according to a person familiar with the NRA’s outreach on the current gun debate. “The staff feels like there is no plan. There’s not a lot of direction or a plan for how to proceed.”
In recent months, the NRA has battled numerous scandals — from lavish spending by top executives and a broader financial management crisis to a spate of board member resignations and an attempted coup at the group’s annual conference. It lost President Oliver North and top lobbyist Chris Cox, who is close to Trump. And Ackerman McQueen, its ad agency for nearly four decades, quit.
“There are some very significant problems with the NRA right now, financially, structurally, strategically, that need to be addressed,” said Rob Pincus, a lifetime NRA member who’s involved in Save the Second, whose membership includes other NRA members, prospective members and former members. The group is focused on rebuilding the NRA by promoting institutional change at the organization.
I have to tell you that the feel good story of any day for me is one that describes the NRA slowly losing its shit.
I have despised these tiny dicked ammosexuals for decades, and watching them falling to pieces as the country finally stands up and tells them we are not taking their shit any more is music to my ears.
Personally I will never understand how we ever allowed an organization supported by a bunch of GI Joe cosplayers who spend their weekends playing Rambo in the woods or furiously masturbating to Guns and Ammo magazine, exert so much control over our politics in the first place.
But hey, that’s just me.
It’s the second amendment that drives it…and fear and paranoia and insecurity.
Trump Wants To Declare Antifa A Terrorist Organization To Protect His Racist Mass Shooting Supporters
Trump is trying to take the heat off of the NRA and his white supremacist supporters for mass shooting by declaring Antifa a terrorist organization.
It is a smokescreen to distract from the fact that Republicans are going to do nothing about gun violence.

GOP leadership tells House Republicans to lie about white supremacist gun massacres – call it ‘violence from the Left’

The Russian infiltration of the Republican Party is epidemic. Republicans on the Federal Election Commission are using the same obstruction tactics that the White House uses, and Mitch McConnel uses in the Senate to obstruct any investigation of Trump and Russia. The Republican elephant has been replaced with a Russian bear. The levers of government are being used to protect a president may be owned and compromised by a hostile foreign power.”
“Chair Weintraub has a much more detailed statement on Republican obstruction that is worth your time to read:

The NRA ultimately exists to force a theocracy.

Proud Boys are holding another rally in Portland today and they’re planning to get violent, as usual. Their racist gang leader Gavin McInnes has relentlessly called for his members to attack anyone who protests his hate group.
