Wayne La Pierre resigns from the NRA

[leVieux]

Exactly when they can prove that management is no longer using the members money as their personal piggybank. I will gladly provide them some money.

Many of us feel the same.

BUT,

The root of this particular evil, the dastardly ‘’Nominating Committee’’ must be ended permanently !

Absent this committee, the membership can control the board, albeit slowly.

Democratic mechanisms must be restored in order to achieve transparency, a prerequisite for resumption of member donations.

While we are at it, voting must be restricted to multi-year active members, so that some ogre like Soros can’t just buy up votes by injecting enemy outsiders via paying dues.

History can guide us, if we both understand and allow. . . . . . .

As the saying goes, I don't hate that news.

 

[DaBull]

I wonder if I join again, if they will actually send my membership card this time?

You can have one of mine...dumbshits send me one every year even though I am a life member.

 

[DaBull]

Those golden parachutes are expensive

If he really is sick, maybe he won't get to enjoy the ride for long.

One of the mavericks running SAF or GOA should accept a massive pay increase by taking Wayne's job. We'll get the aggressive defense we want and the new CEO will be fairly compensated if he only take half the pay and benefits of Wayne.

 

[Txhillbilly]

Nothing will change. The NRA is just like our Government, they are all corrupt and only interested in money & power!

 

[Lonesome Dove]

It will take 10 years and the right people to fix the NRA my feeling is it will just fade away. They had a great run until Perrywinkle went overboard on his ego.

Parroting what others have said, LaPierre leaving is a great step forward but that's it. The rest of the board is filled with FUDDs that will keep on keeping on. They need to clean house at the top if the NRA wants to be alive after boomers are all gone. Lets face it, who really keeps sending them money? I'm a life member but haven't sent them an extra dime until they really start championing 2A. The younger crowd (not that young, I'm 47) wants more action to defeat the NFA and go harder in support of bump stocks and binary triggers and pistol braces.
I have sent my money to GOA and FPC.

IMHO, they need James Jay Baker, who knows all the pitfalls & skeleton burials, to run it day-to-day; but have someone with no prior connection to run the financial side after a true audit.

I predict that the true situation is way worse than what we now know about.

Stupid idiots (WLP, et al). Doing major damage to the NRA's reputation.

 

[lone_star_state]

The NRA is too useful a tool for progressives in advancing the gun control agenda so they will not allow it dissolve. Much like radicals have been selectively taking over institutions and agencies for decades, the NRA is another name added to their list. To the extent WLP has been holding the door open, that should be made obvious by how much restitution he is forced to repay personally.

Wasteful, bureaucratic, inefficient, and ineffective...yes. But tool of progressives and taken over by radicals...no. The NY AG has earned her stripes as a progressive radical by taking down the NRA. Hardly something she would do to an ally. The NRA got fat, lazy and self-important, and spent their diminishing donations on making themselves more comfortable doing the "difficult" job of getting nothing done. That's why they earn my scorn.

Who will not allow it to dessolve?

Hope the door hits the ass.
