As a Life member since the late 70's I've seen several top heavy changes. The over riding factor is that the NRA does a whole lot more than lobby, thank goodness they do though, the training is top notch, overseeing local, State, and USA matches. plus being an outlet for the very young shooters working up thru the ranks.
Do they have problems, yes but don't be so quick to sell the NRA short as there is no one else doing all the good that they do to promote the shooting/hunting sport including hunter safety.
