They should have paid him 50 million to leave 20 years ago

I liked the NRA a lot better when 90% of the BOD's all wore crew cuts and we're Vets.
I think after they started disappearing in the late 70's, early 80's things started going to shit.
If you need a budget for suits and a private jet, no, really what you need is a kick in the nuts.
If a lawsuit or potential jail time made Wayne quit, maybe they need more of that to clean house?

Looks like the issues started before LaPierre.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'm not optimistic that the NRA will get any better (this year will undoubtedly be too much of a cluster for anything good to happen) but I'm still glad to see him go.

Something like 3+ decades too late but as they say, better late than never.
~Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Looks like nra will stay on the same course it has been on since 1871(minus a few years of Knoxerly wind).

There was lots of Fuddery around the time of the 68 GCA but the NRA changed over the years. The 77 NRA revolt was probably just as significant and eventually led to the removal of some of the worst parts of the 68 GCA, but sadly not all of them.

Neal Knox tried to start something the NRA didn't want to do and they axed him as quickly as they could and now we see where a lot of the donations have been going along with lobbying for things like Project Exile and other nonsense.
NRA started out because some Union officers thought that Union recruits lacking shooting skills was one of the reasons the civil war went on as long as it did. In other words they were hoping to increase the power of the Federal government which they followed up on by promoting such things as NFA 34 and GCA 68. The NRA is very similar to Facebook and other media outlets.
