Wayne LaPierre Resigns

[Bill Norris]

No doubt LaPierre needed to go. However, the NRA is one of if not the largest lobbying group. Let's hope this brings the NRA back stronger than ever.

With the right leadership it can bounce back. Hopefully that will happen.

 

[Flouncer]

Now gun owners that said they'd join the NRA if LaPierre resigned can step up and put their money where their mouths are.

There is and has been all along the Second Amendment Foundation and here in CA the California Rifle and Pistol Association. The 2AF was instrumental in McDonald vs City of Chicago IIRC. CARPA has tangled every CA law signed by the Liberal Mafia in court. Slowly working their way through the system. Not all our eggs are in one basket.

John Schneider? I miss the Charlton Heston “cold dead hands” speech days.

 

[K22]

Maybe there is hope for this once great organization. Let's hope they replace him with someone with integrity.

 

[TrapperBR549]

Didn't his trial in NY just get underway, like yesterday? I guess it could be coincidence.

 

[ronsatspokane]

I nominate Mark Wahlberg to replace that worthless POS LaPierre.

 

[Steve h]

Life member here also. The organization has suffered a black eye as of late. Hopefully this will change.

I hope they vet the next one with a lot more rigor and place much higher checks and balances in the system, but they won't see my money again till they share the truth or drain the swamp.

I keep asking myself, could this have happened if the others on the board and accounting were doing their jobs? Think of the damage done to the reputation of the organization as a direct result of this controversy.

One way or the other, it would have either prevented the question and controversy if the other executives and accountants could have clearly stated there were no ethics violations, or, if the allegations were proved it would have ended immediately with him being dismissed straight away.

I would vote for a complete evaluation of all the folks who were supposed to be watching WLP, not just him.

Had they been competent and WLP was innocent, the controversy would have ended with a strong defense to show this was just another baseless attack. So, the only conclusions we are left with is they were either complicit or incompetent.

A clear accounting is expected in any organization like this one and this should have ended within a business quarter, not dragged out for years.

This isn't a for-profit corporation job, this is position that the candidate accepts with the responsibility to the constitution of the organization.

Best Wishes for the recovery, but as a Life Member, I feel betrayed by more than just WLP.

Wayne had lots of friends on the board, do they rinse and repeat?

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.

Exactly. What were they watching?
That’s why I don’t like ‘Life memberships’
To me it’s like hoping the US Government is going to make things just right for everybody.

 

[Fuj]

And he resigns after the Epstein release ??.....This all was too long
in coming. There's going to be twist and turns in this saga. I hate
to say this but the board is still infected.....

 

[Sandstorm]

the board is still infected.

I think you may have something there my friend.

 

[R.Morehouse]

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

George Soros..........

 

[joshb]

Thanks for that news! Made my day!

 

[65swede]

Don Jr

 

[Walt Krafft]

If the law suit in NY named him personally, resigning won't get him off the hook.

Corruption runs deeper than one person,

Don't know.
