NRA Board Asked Wayne LaPew To Resign. He Refused..
LaPierre Refuses to Step Down After NRA Board Members Ask for His Resignation As has been widely reported, the NRA is facing internal challenges, both financial and organizational. They’re suing their longtime marketing and PR firm, Ackerman McQueen and have been accused by opponents and some in the gun rights community of uncontrolled spending and a lack of institutional control by management and board members. According to someone we’ve spoken to who’s in a position to know, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre met with influential board members and fund-raisers last night and was asked for his resignation. The meeting reportedly became heated and LaPierre stormed out. He then responded to the demand with a scathing letter to those involved, refusing to step down. This won’t be the end of the story. The Bloomberg-controlled anti-gun operation Everytown for Gun Safety has filed a complaint with the IRS challenging the NRA’s tax-exempt status. And the state of New York, where the NRA is chartered, is expected to look into the state’s non-profit status as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well what are the odds he will be fired now. Vote in the poll. |

Hopefully the BoD does what is necessary to start righting the ship.

It is 1999 all over again. I wish Neal Knox had lived to see this.

I hate to see the left get such a huge victory with the turmoil at the NRA, but maybe some changes can get some enthusiasm back. Maybe the NRA will become a "not one more inch" organization.

It’s a step in the right direction.
Let’s wait and see what actually happens though. |

Well, well, well. What have we here? A glimmer of hope?
As doctors say, "I am cautiously optimistic." |

I wonder how that is actually set up. Can the BoD actually vote to fire him?
I know of an organization that the whole board of directors thing is merely a front. They do not have the power to fire the CEO and President. They have no real power but it looks good, keeps the dollars flowing by "electing" certain folks to the board. |

Someone in the audience threw a phone onto the stage just as Trump was approaching the podium. Symbolic meanings?

If that fucker and the cat lady go, there is a possibility of fixing that broken wreck. Fingers crossed. The only reason they've been there so long is the blind MuhNRAdindunuffin nutlickers supporting their fuckery.
Burn. Them. Down. New, better foliage always follows a good fire. |

If true, and he refused, even to save the NRA...then RIP NRA, nothing can save it now.

1997 is back baby!
Let's see if Marion Hammer and John Milius can sway the BoD to keep Wayne LaPierre in power like they did last time. I don't think he has enough money to win folks over again. |

Oh boy is this great! |

Time for change and new blood in the NRA.
Wayne is getting old and his mind is slipping, it's just life. |

Well, since Wayne LaPierre has run the NRA through the Executive Committee as if it were the Politburo and the BoD as the rubber stamp legislature that was the Supreme Soviet. I feel that his removal from the NRA will be much like Beria's.
Failed To Load Title Politically violent and by force. Now, will Marion Hammer be removed as well. |
|
Maybe the NRA would fight to start expanding rights again, instead of bargaining them away.
Until then they get no money from me. |

Wow, look at all you lapping up bullshit in an article based on "According to someone we've spoken to". An anonymous source from a low level website, must be legit.
It is sad how much you all hope for the demise of the NRA. |
