I'm standing in a crowd of 20,000 people at a gun rally. Some are dressed in camouflage,

wearing tactical gear, and carrying very big guns. And a lot of them are talking to me

about the NRA. It's the same everywhere I go. I've been to rallies like this one, gun

shows, and even board meetings. And it's not surprising that people are talking about

the NRA. But what is surprising is what they're saying.

The money is not being used very well. There's a lot of overspending. And they're taking

in money from gun owners and using that to kind of line their own pockets.

I am a member, but I'm second guessing that at this point, I'm definitely disappointed

in the NRA. You know, at some point it'll be exposed.

Now, more than ever, the future of the nation's most powerful special interest group is uncertain.

But one thing is clear. The NRA has big problems.

Their hubris made them think that it was never going to be uncovered because they've been

doing it for so long. And it's all right there in black and white. It's just like this

insesituous gangster train wreck dumpster fire. I fled the cult before they put us in

line to drink the cool aid. The NRA will soon have its 150 year anniversary. But this

past year has rocked the organization like none other. Members and employees alike are

defecting and they're ready to talk. I'm driving down Interstate 66 and I see the NRA

building and I feel like some kind of spirit inside spoke to me and it said this is where

you're going to work. Every cell within you feels as if you are fighting a mission that

is God's mission, that you are fighting for the heart and soul of America.

We do one thing and we do it better than anyone else. We stand, we fight and by God we win.

But this is big game that a lot of people are getting rich on. Is it legal? Is it not?
