Wayne La Pierre Resigns

[Desk Jockey]

I am glad he's finally gone. The only reason I stayed in the NRA was that my range required it for insurance, I don't think they do anymore as they have a different way for insurance. I bought a five year member about four years ago if I can rememebr so they keep sending me the FINAL notice of renewing. Not renewing unless they get back to their roots and just causes. Sad to watch what happened to the organization.

you reminded me of an interesting point. My range requires an NRA membership too.

also, until it was struck down, I am pretty sure the NY law stated that you could only carry a handgun to and from the range and to and from an NRA sanctioned competition. Now NY is trying to sue them out of existence.

Haha! I realized almost 30 years ago that the NRA was nothing more than a huge grift, and quit sending my money then. This just reinforces my intuition.

I guess if you hop in the "sewer" with the politicians and your 3 piece suit ,sooner or later your gonna smell like shit . Early on i think WLP was good for the NRA , not so much later .

 

[SWDutchman]

Glad to see him gone

My membership must have expired recently. The phone calls have ramped up considerably. Not sure I will re-up.

It was over twenty years ago that I came to the conclusion that the NRA was a gigantic hoax. Wayne eventually used the Membership's basic principles as a foundation for his retirement.

I was happy to belong but I told them when I joined that the only thing I wanted to see was my renewal notice. I got a couple years and then I got drowned in beg letters and other junk. I put up with it for a year and then dropped out.

I absolutely hate junkmail and begging emails. I'm very reluctant to give to anything because it usually triggers a rain of crap on me that is difficult to get stopped.

NY AG Letitia James Flips NRA's Former Second-In-Command - The Truth About Guns

A new court filing in Letitia James' case against the NRA reveals that she has flipped the former chief of staff of the NRA.

They (NRA) wanted to dissolve the org. Presumably so they could keep the money they had and spent (stole) and ride off into the sunset. Obviously the court wasn’t going to let them do that and glad they shut that down.

Good, time for a change!

His corruption trial is slated to kick off Monday in New York.

Coincidence?

I have a lot of experience with complex litigation. It is likely that there are settlement discussions going on.

In this type of case, it would be very difficult to reach a settlement with Wayne still running the show.

I suspect the Board pushed him out so they can reach a settlement.

To be fair, a corruption trial in a NY kangaroo court doesn't hold much weight for me.

THIS ^^^^ is why WLP is now gone! **** He can't fight it when the truth gets thrown in his face next week. DEFINITELY not saying that Josh Powell did the right thing (in fact, I think he's pretty much a turncoat...) but when he spills the beans next week, WLP would not have been able to stand against what J. Powell will have to say....

My membership is still in force until 2027 but I think I receive between 2 and 3 calls per DAY from "NRA" lately... suck it, NRA. (SAF, FPC are much better and leading the fight currently; NRA just attaches it's name to s**T and expects to be able to say "see, we helped too!" ... rrrrrrr

So now that it's clear that human nature ruins just about everything - what's next?

Well since the NRA will be restructured (and potentially neutered from having a legal side to fight for us) by this court I guess we have no choice but to continue with supporting the other org’s that have been currently fighting the fight. They killed their goose and what was the best org (at one time) we had. No sympathy for them but sad it got lost to greed.

 

[MikeDeltaFoxtrot]

Our range requires membership to nra as well as general hunting license and safety course ( pretty standard) but I will be curious if they keep that enforced afterwards..

One of the gun clubs I belong to just amended its bylaws to drop the requirement to be an NRA member. It was driven by WLP and his shenanigans.

Yup. They did the same as of yesterday haha. Quick response but they replaced it with conceal carry or other national group

Well back in the day the NRA was about all we had to stand up for gun ownership. WLP was relentless in his efforts to fight for gun laws, I mean he didn't give an inch! I used to think sometimes he was too hardline but his mantra was Im not giving them an inch and he was right. But I think the DC funk overcame him and he caved for the $$.Who knows. Too bad, I hope they get their head outa there a$$ in time and get someone in there with the same mindset, but with high morals and character . We as gun owners need all the help we can get, because I promise you the left wants all our guns, and they are better organized, better funded and have no moral compass and ZREO common sense. Makes for a tough fight.

In the late 70s it was odd that the NRA decided to go from a non partisan organization to a republican one. Today 1/3 of gun owners are Democrat, yet the goal hasn’t been to unite all gun owners, but to make gun issues partisan for the benefit of republican politicians. How often is that statistic talked about? Never. Who has pushed this? Billionaire donors (Koch brothers, Harland Crow, etc) who don’t give two turds rolled into little balls about guns, they just want their guys elected to cut taxes for the top tax bracket.

We’ve managed to alienate entire generations of Democrat kids who love to shoot and hunt, who grow up hearing nothing other than gun owners hate democrats. These kids grow up and vote - if you tell someone you don’t like them for two decades, guess who they will vote for.

So, when you’re in line at the sporting goods store buying ammo telling democrat jokes, odds are one of the guys either in front or behind you is a democrat and automatically thinks you’re an ass.
