StormThe Number Of New NRA Members Since Parkland
I ran across this article by Col. Allen West, in which he states that the NRA membership has increased by 600,000 (I read somewhere else that, that brings total membership to 6 million.)
Article: What Does David Hogg Do Now? by Allen Westquote:
In short retrospect, what has David Hogg achieved? Well, NRA membership has increased by 600,000. The NRA has broken a 15-year fundraising record. The NRAAM, last week, here in Dallas, set a new attendance record of 87,154, and a new President was elected by the Board, Lt Col Oliver North (USMC, Ret). Yes, sure, there have been companies who have decided to take drastic measures, such as ending associations with the NRA, and they have received a public backlash. There have been politicians, such as Florida Governor Rick Scott, who caved to the insidious demands of the anti-gun left and instituted unconstitutional infringements of the Second Amendment rights of innocent, law-abiding, Americans.

zoom6zoomThe NRA should send Davey a plaque. "Recruiter of the Year". The reaction could be epic.

gearhoundsHaha, this is reminiscent of Zippy being named firearms salesman of the year.
The NRA should do a commercial thanking Hogg in no uncertain terms for his accomplishments. Maybe like one of the stupid Hollywood anti-gun vids...public figure after public thanking him. He'd become so toxic to the left, they'd be forced to abandon him.

architectMy wife finally joined due to the general post-Parkand hysteria (her explanation, not mine). I've only been working on her for 25 years or so.
But, I don't think either of us could pick Hogg out of a lineup as we are not big media consumers, unconnected to Bookface, Twatter, etc. so he gets no credit for this one.
Maybe (just maybe) there are a whole lot of Americans who don't like being preached to by a cadre of gunists who think they are morally superior?
