Ex-NRA insider speaks out: Gun owners should be 'horrified' by what I saw

A former high-ranking official within the National Rifle Association is breaking ranks with the powerful gun lobby, publishing a book that accuses its leaders of decades worth of mismanagement and fraud that he says has left the organization in a state of financial and moral disarray.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas, Joshua Powell, who formerly served as chief of staff to longtime NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, said the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James seeking to dissolve the NRA for an array of "illegal conduct" merely scratches the surface of a much deeper culture of corruption.

"I think the NRA faces a massive threat," Powell said. "I think that the attorney general is really at the tip of the iceberg in understanding what's gone on at the [NRA] for 30 years."

Corruption everywhere. Now the left will use this against us gun owners, and the NRA could lose its powerful lobby. Not good.

All BULLSHIT. Just another libutard trying to do away with an organization that protects the 2nd Amendment. They have been trying to DESTROY President Trump with LIES. This is just another LIE to have the 2nd amendment dissolved. They DESTROYED religion. They DESTROYED the boy scouts. They are trying to DESTROY conservatives..Now the NRA. ITS ALL BULLSHIT. Just like today. Biden had a hit job about Trump and veterans. It's a LIE.

NRA is a money laundering front, plain and simple. You can be a gun owner and pro 2nd Amendment without giving a shit about the NRA. The whole reason they started NRA TV was to hide money in "TV production. They churn out shitty, Youtube quality videos and claim all of the money went to production costs.

Most of your dues and donations to the NRA pay for the board's extravagant salaries and private jets. It has shit all to do with gun rights. You're being played.

Come on!

The NRA is controlled opposition.
They don’t represent the 2nd Ammendment.
They cow tail to the elites who want to disarm the population. The NRA supports “sensible background checks”

The 2A is clear: “Shall not infringe . . .”

No background checks
Period

I dont think its BS. The NRA is heavily heavily funded. What do they do? Maintain the status quo.

They are clowns who do very little but cash checks.

If you want to support a real 2A group back “Maryland Shall Issue” @ MSI.com.

MSI is actually fighting for your rights not cashing checks and looking the part.

F- the NRA. They are compromised by the same liberal scum that is pushing these riots.

Northwest Woodsman: Joined the NRA once and all I got was a cheap Chinese pocketknife and a glossy monthly magazine that rehashed the controversy of which is better, 9mm or 45cal! Of course, this was accompanied by frequent junk mail requesting donations.

I guess you believe BLM is a reputable organization?? The NRA doesn't do much?? They have strong lobbyists who fight for ALL PRO GUN citizens. Fighting libutards who want to take our right to bear arms away takes money. Lots of it.
THE NRA IS GOD.
THE MSI IS LUCIFER.

@12:40 BLM isn't a multimillion dollar lobbying firm/money laundering front, it's a social movement. Delusional racist loser.
