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.
 
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.
 
I've been a life member of the NRA since the miid 60's. Now whenever I get mail form the NRA Just to it in the garbage unopened.
 
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that Joshua Powell, former National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Director of Operations and Chief of Staff to recently resigned NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, has reached a $100,000 agreement with her office. Powell was one of five defendants in the lawsuit brought by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) against the NRA and senior management in August 2020. As part of the agreement, Powell has admitted to OAG's claims of wrongdoing in its lawsuit. The trial of the claims against the NRA and the remaining defendants will begin on Monday, January 8.

So Powell cops a plea and has agreed to testify in court against the NRA and Wayne LaPierre.

The National Rifle Association distanced itself on Tuesday from longtime CEO Wayne LaPierre and two other senior executives on trial for corruption and fraud in New York City.

NRA attorney Sarah Rogers told jurors that while some higher-ups at the nonprofit organization may have betrayed the NRA’s central mission, the organization itself should not be faulted.

“Why is the NRA — a victim of that betrayal — a defendant in this case?” Rogers asked during opening arguments, adding that the majority of the employees at the NRA have worked tirelessly to promote its causes.

LaPierre may have been the face of the NRA as well as a valuable visionary for the organization for the past 30 years, but he wasn’t without his faults, Rogers said, adding that the 74-year-old hid benefits and financial goods he received from NRA vendors.

Rogers told jurors that whether or not they agreed with what the NRA stood for, it was not a “scam” charity and added that the NRA has been highly effective in its gun rights advocacy, which is why “everyone in this room knows the NRA by name.”

The NRA is trying to blame everything on WLP. They are trying to make him the sole fall guy and save their own asses. Rats on sinking ships and all that.

National Rifle Association(NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre testified Tuesday in his New York fraud case that the reason he was resigning from his post because he was diagnosed with late-stage Lyme disease, according to Stephen Gutkowski of The Reload.

The 74-year-old LaPierre, who announced his resignation effective Wednesday on Jan. 5 for health reasons, told a New York court that the disease affected his neural functioning and was a form of dementia, Gutkowski posted on X. LaPierre testified in the NRA fraud case brought by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James, that he was not diagnosed for four years and that doctors had ordered him to retire, according to Gutkowski.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for him now? I'm trying... Still trying,,, Nope, can't muster up any sympathy -- even assuming he's not lying, trying to lay the groundwork for saying "Shucks, I can't remember anything."
