Wayne LaPierre Resigns

[Magyars]

Maybe the NRA will finally grow A pair and step up. Like GOA maybe?

Wayne is and was a K street lobbyist. Expensive suits and fancy restaurants in dc, if you figure that's the way to get the laws you want then they hired the right guy. Problem was he did not represent the broad cross section of the people he was supposed to be working for. His brand, for lack of a better term, was as mismatched as Dylan Mulvaney's.

If I ever meet a GOA rep at the Statehouse I'll introduce myself.

Doesn't change the fact that the NRA hasn't been aggressive enough to make a good fight on a number of different issues.
And I don't hang out at the statehouse!

With that said, let's see who is next. Lean, mean, and apologetically in support of the 2nd Amendment is where we need to be.

Might as well be somebody the antis already hate. Mother Theresa would be worse than Hitler if named to that job.

Too bad, I'd introduce myself.

Statehouse isn't the same as the courthouse.
Where GOA has made some inroads

Separation of powers, I get that. Courthouse reviews the laws, Statehouse writes the laws...

I am a volunteer with the NRA Institute for LEGISLATIVE Action after all.

This is where I mention Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. Suing Illinois, NJ, Maryland...

We need to mass the forces. There's a lot of gun owners but this is like herding cats.

Hallelujah!!!!

Now, if the Board is as dirty as some of us suspect, will there be an exodus of the rats abandoning the ship if they don't think Wayne will be there to cover for them?

It will be interesting to watch the maneuvering for Wayne's seat. If it is another lobbyist, then the NRA may well be done. I know my money has went to the ISRPA and the 2A Project for quite some time. My minimum criteria was to rid the NRA of Wayne and the most suspect Board members and get a non-lobbyist at the top to renew past my current NRA expiration date.

Well that is splendid news!!!! I will once again join their ranks since they finally removed the turd!!! Good riddance!!

As a life member, it's about freaking time.

I'm not optimistic. The BOD re-elected him almost unanimously less than two years ago.
The same people will be naming his replacement. I doubt the gravy will stop flowing.






NRA Press Release after the last election:
"LaPierre received almost unanimous support over Lt. Col. Allen West, who launched a takeover campaign of the Association in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Lt. Col West received only one vote. As important, the board vote was preceded by a resolution overwhelmingly passed by NRA members on May 29, 2022 that declared support — past, present and future — for LaPierre."

It seems corruption is rampant in our society, with the prevailing attitude that if you complain about corruption or propose financial transparency you are some sort of crybaby and will ruin it for “everyone” I don’t see it changing anytime soon.

 

[Expat]

I would guess that Wayne represented more of the membership than we would like To believe. There are a lot of big money members that probably aren’t down with some guns that most of us here like and support. We used to have them here on the INGO but they got run off.

Hopefully his replacement will be a true 2A supporter and not someone in it to line his pockets.

True...the entire nest needs cleaned out.

 

[I Invented the Internet]

This is an excellent start but for me, not enough. Once the NRA dares to actually fight against all gun control legislation, then they'll be speaking my language.

It will be interesting to see who takes over
