Who are we, and what are we doing?

 

Save The Second is a 501(c)4 non-profit dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and expansion of the Second Amendment. We were founded by two NRA members – Anthony Garcia (President) and Ron Carter (Vice-President) who were tired of watching the NRA fall apart, and decided to do something to save it.

Our vision is to save the Second Amendment by strengthening the National Rifle Association. We hope to grow the NRA’s membership, improve its public image, and secure the NRA’s long-term ability to carry out its stated purpose of protecting our “individual rights of self-preservation and defense of family, person, and property,” as provided in Article II, Section 1 of the NRA Bylaws.

Find out more about how we plan to do that by reviewing our 5 Goals and taking a look through the rest of our site.

With the results of the election in, the question of voting tabulation comes to mind. How is it that a man, Frank Tait, received many bullet votes yet came in last? So peculiar to me. We'll be discussing that on the podcast soon.

So many new gun owners are joining the fold and will be looking for a strong national organization to defend their natural rights.

We must show up to the member's meeting in September to help make sure the National Rifle Association is up to the task.

Looks like we will finally know the results of the 2020 NRA BoD election just after Independence Day as they resumed counting ballots (or were supposed to) today.

“Dear NRA Board members, Executive Council members, and Board candidates:

As you know, tabulation of the NRA’s mail ballot election results has been significantly delayed due to business closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, we’ve been in touch with our vendors regularly about the status of our count, and about the measures they’ve put in place to protect the integrity of our process.

Today, I’m pleased to announce that ballot processing will resume on Monday, June 22. Barring any further unforeseen circumstances, we expect to be able to share the results with candidates and the board on approximately July 10.

As always, the formal announcement pursuant to the Bylaws will take place at the Annual Meeting of Members in Springfield, Missouri on September 5. Newly elected members will begin their terms upon the adjournment of the Members’ Meeting, and will be sworn in at the Board meeting that same afternoon.

We appreciate your patience, and look forward to sharing the results in a few weeks.

Sincerely,

John Frazer
Secretary and General Counsel
National Rifle Association of America....”

The Issue of Voting in the NRA: A Big Problem!

Why are we the ones to notice this and be motivated to do something? Merely looking at the voting results from last year’s election should have motivated directors to fix those problems or if nothing else at least acknowledge their existence! There must be accountability in our NRA. We must bring that accountability at the Members’ Meeting!
