Hoping this is true and we can get someone less squishy running that organization.

Do you really think this is going to change the way the NRA does business? Nope, the guy they put in will do the same thing, just be a bit sneakier and hiding it better. They've become corrupt, and you can't get rid of it with just him. It's a start, but it won't change a thing. Until they completely revamp their board and make all salaries and benefits public for the viewing by members, it won't stop them.

Yep. They were the go-to gun rights organization at one time but then WLP and his cronies got greedy and used the NRA as their personal piggy bank. If it wants to regain the trust of gun owners the NRA now has an uphill battle.

Glad to see him gone, but let's face it the NRA was never great at defending our 2A rights, I always considered them to be the gun rights RINO's.

I believe the NRA may have been able to turn things around several icebergs ago. Wayne waited until after the deck chairs all slid by and water was up to the band before his leap.

A lot of house cleaning needs doing to get rid of his clique.

Will they do it or be forced to now?

They will have to be forced out, and they'll go kicking and screaming, taking the NRA completely down when they do so. They hitched their wagon to the gravy train and the ride has come to a stop, they just haven't realized it yet.

The NRA has not acted in our favor in years and years. WLP was very clearly the face of the corruption and political pandering.

I'm not sad to see him gone.

Mr. GunsNGear's take on Wayne LaPierre's tenure and resignation.



According to Mr. GNG, WLP will collect a SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLAR payout when he leaves.

I always predicted that he wouldn't leave until he had stolen every last dollar, so I guess he has stolen every last dollar.

The fact that WLP's replacement has been with the Douchebag for 24 years tells me the fix is in. New boss same as the old boss. Broom the new guy's ass along with the entire dick sucking BOD.
