[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2248683, member: 24446"] I was a member of the NRA but after listening to Wayne LaPierre's crazy political rants every time I tried to read my American Hunter magazine and being bombarded with rants I don't agree with I let my membership expire. He's also the reason I won't consider a lifetime membership until the "management" is replaced. It was less about gun rights and more about everything else. He sounded like a crazy man bashing everyone he could to become the republican presidential candidate. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the NRA is there but I don't think LaPierre is doing gun rights or the NRA any good. He needs to be removed from any position of power within the NRA or outside it, in my opinion. I'm teetering on the line of whether to renew or not. Renewing seems like the lesser of the two evils but supporting the current power structure is not something I approve of. Back on subject...I've never attended the banquet's either and have always wondered what they were like. Is it formal or casual? Do you pay to attend or is it part of the membership dues? What should someone expect who's never been before. [/QUOTE]
