Chris Cox — the NRA’s second-in-command — allegedly worked with public relations firm Ackerman McQueen, ex-NRA president Oliver North and NRA board member Dan Boren to try to force out CEO and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre,

LaPierre just lookin out for his next suit order .

Damn, I thought they were two peas in a pod. Guess not. Looks more and more every day that the NRA will disintegrate from within.

 

[Calculon]

The board and execs must all be benefiting from the slush funds to let LaP stay on despite his lavish spending on suits and interns. They’ll go down with the ship rather than step aside to preserve the NRA.

I wonder if the fudds will keep donating their money for LaPierre's wardrobe?

Nothing like giving the lefty anti gun morons an "unearned victory"

I do not take pleasure in this... I was a member for many of years... But yeah, fuck the NRA.

I say fuck NRA management, like government they need term limits and an enema. The problem is management.

Yeah that's a better way to put it... That's what I meant.

Once again boys and girls, the lesson is clear; power corrupts. No matter what organization it is, human nature is the same.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Fuck them

Only chance the NRA has is very first baby step, forcefully remove LaPierre (to include not paying his full salary after he is gone, let's not forget that LaPierre has worked it out that if he retires or is removed he still keeps his 100% pension aka 5mil a year) then restructuring of the board.. Ms hammer aka the current president must also be removed and Willes Lee also needs to be dragged from office.



And honesty to truly redeem themselves the whole organization needs to be dismantled and then some of the true 2A supporters should snag up the name (for brand recognition) and rebuild the NRA from the ground up

It's a shame to see the road the NRA has gone down, and there's a chance that our Second Amendment rights might suffer on the federal level, temporarily, as they grow weaker, but it is likely that someone else will step in to fill the void.

Personally I just signed up with Gun Owners of America as they seem to have more of a no-compromise attitude.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Why do people thing this is something that happened over night or just in the recent years. The NRA has never been pro gun or pro 2a .

Its actually only been the last couple decades aka since the 1970s has the NRA tried to brand themselves as pro 2A as a means to make money and well a lot of you seem to have bought that cake and dived full face into the lie

 

[Edwardteach72]

Oh and this just came out

 

[Cooolone]

In a weird way... The collapse and evaporation of the NRA might be a good idea.

Why? Because every time there's a gun issue, the NRA is referenced when they represent a very small contingent of firearm owners! That always makes me laugh.

It would leave the "anti's" befuddled to figure out how, who, what, why the Gun Laws still don't change when the big bad NRA isn't there any more...

Just sayin!

Also then all those who for some reason still support the NRA (financially) will hopefully do so with a pro 2a organization like GOA
