Finally. Wayne is out. It is about time.

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.

Yes, glad he's gone too. I've been withholding donations for the same reason as many others. But now I'm hearing rumors there is a movement to reinstall the same corrupt individuals. I also think the board is far too large and heavily infiltrated with financial leaches to move forward. The NRA needs to be broomed, boomed and regroomed.

Who are you hearing that from?

Could anyone please show me an example, a single example, of a nonprofit situation where the members withheld funding for the organization and the BOD fell to their knees and did what the withholders wanted and became a squeak clean successful organization?

I suspect there are few if any. I also suspect this tactic has killed many organizations or, if they still exist, made them just a shadow of what they once were…

 

[musketjon]

Visions of when Harlon Carter was at the reins. Same kinda' corruption and bs. Maybe we should vote for "term limits" for the NRA as well.

Well. But. Uhhh. THAT DON'T MATTER. I'M BUTT-HURT AND I'M A GONNA SHOWEM.

Not sure that many non-profits have 'members'. I do recall wounded warrior project getting a lot of pushback from contributors about throwing lush black-tie parties for themselves and donors with moneys that could be better spent on the mission. Donations dropped way off and I believe some management walked the plank and the rest saw the light. I believe the advent of internet sources that rate charitable organizations on percentage of revenues spent on organization expenses likely exercises a certain amount of restraint as well as enables potential donors to just not engage the sketchy ones. Transparency has a way of doing that

Seems like a lot of executives and political leaders have this problem

Term limits can be a double edge sword. When one works hard, knows how to lead, gets things done and then the new people screw it it all up, one can thank term limits. Then again, term limits, can pave the way for good people to fix it, if it’s not too late.

Term limits would be easier in a corporation than in the government. The Senate is starting to look like terms are only limited by death.

Back to the subject at hand: how did there come to be 76 board members? Is it recent or was President (both US and NRA) Grant involved? Is it designed this way to keep a Soros-funded bunch of a-holes from taking over?

I believe it was sometime after this and in response to it

Revolt at Cincinnati - Wikipedia

but information on the size and composition of the board is pretty thin so I can't nail it down precisely. It doesn't shock me that information about the board would be closely held even if half of them weren't profiteering snakes given the animosity towards RKBA

From the link - here's what money for good legal defense buys you:

"...LaPierre "struggles with copious physical and mental conditions, such as cognitive dysfunction, enervation/fatigue, painful/blurry eyes (resulting from cognitive impairments and engender brain-eye dissonance), dyssomnia, myalgias, dysautonomia (postural orthostasis), mononeuritis multiplex, dermatitis, and headaches," according to a second doctor, Rachel Markey, whose January 3 letter to Cotton was also included in the new filing..."

(No word about erections lasting longer than 4 hours)

I’m a lifetime benefactor NRA member and have been for many years. It is most unfortunate that WLP and his Lieutenants lost their way and screwed up the NRA over the past several years. Notwithstanding that fact, one should respect the fact that over the decades the NRA did lead the fight for 2A rights. Now, hopefully, the NRA will learn from this debacle, reorganize itself back to its roots and move forward defending the 2A with renewed vigor. All of us who enjoy our 2A rights should hope that this will be the end result of WLP’s departure.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

Over the years under WLP, the NRA went from being an effective organization and transitioned to the practices of Pournelle's "Iron Law of Bureaucracy"

"In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals that the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely."

Donald Trump Jr.? Seriously? Yeah, No. Big no. The Trump family is hauling around too much baggage these days...

I agree that his name carries too much baggage and would be a magnet for further lawfare from various state atty generals.

It would be good if the NRA did a complete reorg and moved it's HQ to Indy or near Camp Perry, OH. They can leave a small lobby group near D.C. There are too many greedy influences near the current HQ and not enough oversight by the membership.
