Wayne LaPierre Resigns

[Kittitas George]

All the hanky panky has gone on far too long. The entire board of directors needs to be replaced, regardless of how long is left in their term. Things like WLP's spending of NRA funds are not easily hidden, some of those people should have known and probably did know. He was paid a much higher amount than others that run a 501 (c)3 organization, and his wife was also on the payroll. This is the results of an organization worshipping a person instead of the ideals, goals and intent of the organization. It's been demonstrated that WLP and the board of directors have no integrity, ethics or honesty. It may take an amendment to the election rules, but the entire board should be replaced at the annual meeting. Anyone with ties to this board should be rejected. A "clean sweep" is needed!!!

Not being political just passing on the info.

Wayne LaPierre announces resignation as NRA chief

Longtime National Rifle Association CEO and executive vice president Wayne LaPierre announced his resignation from the NRA after more than three decades serving as its chief.

www.foxnews.com

and how would this be considered political? is he running for office?

Another example of someone who may have started out working for the good of the association but once he was in power way too long, fell right into what all long time politicians do...hand in the cookie jar all the time.

He should have been gone when Ollie called him out.

I don’t think he can even own a firearm, can he? Doesn’t he have some assault charges from back in the day? He recently tried to get them expunged, but wasn’t successful.

He was convicted of a violent felony. He applied for a pardon a couple years ago and they said it was so violent the gov would not grant it.

I vote for Kid Rock.

In order to have a clean house, ... you must first clean house.
Every board member who supported Wayne must be removed as well.

Then a clear and public, (for members) accounting of the last boards actions and charges brought where needed are required before I rejoin.

About freaking time. Now who will the board hire? Let's see what they come up with.

I nominate Chris Cox, the best real lobbyist they have had in the last 30 years IMO.

And a lot of money too. From today's Wall St Journal:

"Amid the corruption allegations, the NRA’s revenues have plunged, its membership is down and its influence has waned. Revenue in 2022 of $211 million was down 40% from 2018, while membership dues fell by more than half in that period and legal fees skyrocketed."

Amazing that it took THAT before they kicked him to the curb. Makes it hard to trust the next guy, frankly.

Bring back Ollie North. He was pushed out because he called out the corruption.

 

[10XSHOOTER]

maybe Ollie North will come back now!

 

[Steve K]

About time!

 

[Just Say Moe]

I need to see who they hire and if they trim some of the pork before I do.

When the trial is over, their ain't gonna be any more anything.....no guts, no feathers either.

If we look at the Second Amendment Rights we have gained under the dictatorship of WLP, maybe he earned even penny he stole.

WRONG !!!!! He was hired to perform a task, and well paid, not to steal from the members of a 'non-profit. He has betrayed the members, he has been lying, cheating and stealing for quite sometime. There is not a lower form of life. He needs to be in jail and the money returned.

I don't now if he can own firearms but I watched shoot a few while taking game on the tv show "Under Wild Skies".

I’ll see how this shakes out before I rejoin

This even made the national news feed here in Australia

Maybe Hunter Biden he already knows to send 10% to the big guy. He would just need to send the check to WLP.

 

[monster300]

I hope the association survives, in it's true form our country needs it badly.

 

[Nick Caprinolo]

Bring back Ollie North.

If it wasn't sarcasm, you might want to rethink that opinion with some real facts.
