Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bed Wetter" data-source="post: 260422" data-attributes="member: 428">I’ve been a member for awhile. As the “premier” gun rights org in the USA, it made sense to be a member, even when they did stupid stuff like supporting shitty gun control acts every time one came up (1934, 1968, 1986, 1994, and now bump stocks in 2018).There have been some very vocal NRA employees and board members trying to sound the alarm on corruption within the org, but it always just seemed like infighting. I chalked it up to, “there could probably be some changes made, but let’s not make a circular firing squad.” Over the past few days, however, internal documents have leaked showing that Wayne LaPierre and others have been embezzling money for years and are essentially draining the organization dry.From what I can tell, my contributions and yours have been paying for WLP’s:- $275,000 in clothing... from one store.- $13,800 for 3 months rent. For a college intern. Paid at Wayne’s request.- $24,000,000 over 13 months to a law firm who refuses to detail what they’re billing the NRA for.- hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for Wayne to take exotic vacations and charter private jets everywhere he travels.- $270,000 in “consulting fees” to Marion Hammer, who actively worked AGAINST gun owners in FL- $250,000 to the father of an NRA executive to be an event photographer EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD ALREADY HIRED A PHOTOGRAPHER AT A FRACTION OF THE COST.To add insult to injury, Oliver North was among those calling for an audit of “financial irregularities.” Like everyone else who raised concerns, Wayne fired him. That’s correct, Oli did not step down, he got the boot. It looks like making him the spokesman was part of a setup to get rid of him.Oh, and while Wayne and his cronies were burning through all our membership dues living like kings and laundering money, the employee pension at NRA began running in the red, so the people who worked for the NRA and earned a pension are likely to lose it.These are just the few things we know about. Don’t take my word for it, review the docs for yourself:<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/av32v5v1gwae398/NRA2019Documents1-OCR.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/av32v5v1gwae398/NRA2019Documents1-OCR.pdf?dl=0</a>Don’t worry, it gets much worse. The NRA is incorporated as a non-profit 503(c) in New York State. The NY AG is currently suing the NRA and attempting to have the non-profit exemption removed because of shady business dealings. As more of this corruption comes to light, the NRA will likely lose its non-profit status, which will mean paying taxes retroactively for the past 10 years or so. This will cost the org hundreds of millions of dollars and likely bankrupt the NRA.Maybe we can still salvage the NRA if we get rid of Wayne... right? Wrong. Because of rule changes that have gone into effect in recent years, Wayne can (and does) fire anyone he wants without consulting the board of directors. It seems the only people with the power to remove him are in on the scam. If Wayne goes down, they all do. He’s basically impossible to remove.Because we’re talking about actual criminal activity (fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, etc) Wayne will continue to burn up what’s left of the NRA’s assets to pay legal fees to keep himself out of prison.Sorry guys, but it looks like the NRA is finished and it’s only a matter of time.  I’m looking into Gun Owners of America and Second Amendment Foundation.- - - Updated - - -Oh, and this is the intern who Wayne personally put up in an apartment for $4,500/mo. I’m sure his wife understands that it was a legitimate business expense.[ATTACH]35166[/ATTACH]From the document dump:[ATTACH]35167[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35168[/ATTACH]From Megan Allen’s LinkedIn profile:[ATTACH]35169[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
