They are paid professional advertisers.
They are not just 'some guys' that post shooting videos. This is what they do to make a living.
I think he said it best in the description online under the video:

Listen carefully when he mentions "Our Brand" and "when you're working for a company (07:45)".
It is possible that his monthly check from the NRA fell into the category of 'squandered donor money' and got cut; who knows.
If they were not being paid by the NRA, there would be no reason to make this video, just stop mentioning them.
The video to me, basically says they are not going to do it for free.
Just my take.
It could be that Greg and John are sending a message to the NRA, either get your act together or members will leave. I have called them twice in the last few months complaining about a couple things.
Today, before I saw this my wife said to me after the mail came with an add from the NRA addressed to her asking for more money and the first thing she said was "AGAIN" and we get one weekly.
Went from NRA to GOA. Feel like they ask less on the donations and do good political work. Still a member of NRA for a couple of years but tired of letters almost every week where NRA asks for money. JMO
I'm with you Hickok45 and thanks for the "heads up" Mark !
