As far as I can see, the bump stock is and always was a way to get full auto fire without complying with the provisions of the NFA.
I’ve been a pretty big supporter of the NRA, a Patron Life member.
Frankly, the NRA is a grassroots organization. Remember the Knox revolution there. While I have some issues with LaPierre and the paid leadership, the way to deal with it is to get folks to vote in directors who will get the org moving in the way you want it to, not play passive-aggressive and fracture the support.
While the MN orgs do good for MN, they don’t do much for national issues.
I suspect if you can get 20-30k votes behind someone, they are in at the NRA BOD elections. That is the way to handle your angst at the NRA, not whinging on a regional gun board. How many of you all even filled out the ballot?
Just as an FYI, the lowest vote getters who won election to the NRA BOD the last two years got just over 45,000 votes each. Also, there are 75 directors on the NRA BOD, most of whom have been there for a very long time. The BOD has made it extremely difficult to get any outsider onto the board, and made sure that any outsider that did manage get in can’t do diddly squat.
