Col Ollie North to be new President of NRA

[Topkick]

Well that didn't last long... https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...s-standing-his-ground/?utm_term=.7d93484edaa6

It'll be interesting to see if anything comes from North's allegations. I find it somewhat ironic, though, that Ollie North is claiming that there is something shady going on behind the scenes.

I didn't like Ollie North as the head of the NRA anyway. Bye, Felecia.

Eh, La Pierre is a shyster and a Fudd. Word on some of the firearm forums is that Ol Wayne's been appropriating NRA funds, as a slush fund. NRA is better without the cancerous cyst that is La Pierre.

NRA’s Wayne LaPierre claims he is being extorted, pressured to resign by Oliver North

Disagree, as a Life Member I'd rather have North and ditch Wayne La Pierre.

With the elections coming up, the NRA needs to get its shit together.

NRA has some serious financial problems, and likely has for a decade or more

Secrecy, Self-Dealing, and Greed at the N.R.A.

Color me shocked.

This may be giving La Pierre too much credit. Does this guy even gun?

 

[Polar Bear]

NRA is filled with tool bags.

Are you really surprised that the New Yorker has written a piece bashing the NRA?

Because it is the New Yorker, does that automatically make the story not credible in your mind?

Personally I believe every word, and I think that the NRA has a number of newspapers that are probably friendly to them, and would not publish such an article. The New Yorker has no such loyalty, and can publish every piece of dirt they can find.

I'll wait and see how this story develops but if there is dishonesty within the ranks of the NRA, I hope it gets exposed. Just as with the government, its time these organizations are held accountable to their people.

I do not trust the New Yorker. I also don't trust Fox News, CNN, CBS, or the LA Times. Trustworthy mass media does not exist.

Yes, shit reporting for decades. There is nothing in the media that should be taken to heart.
Welcome to critical reading. Been reading the New Yorker since 94. Take everything with a grain of salt.

Considering that American gun owners have been bent over and fucked by both the state and feds for the past few decades, it's no wonder that people are asking were their lobbying money went. The NRA's leadership needs to be purged. With the damage 'Ol Wayne & Cronies' have done to gun rights, I'm surprised they ain't leftist superstars.

Lol, he probably doesn't. Bet LaPierre has an silk embroidered 'Che Guevara OBummer' ball gag though, since he's all for gargling socialists balls.

Wayne plays on the fear of losing ground on the 2A to enhance the NRA membership drive fairly well. It may be justified, but he does a good job of convincing members that throwing more & more money at the problem is our only chance at keeping our gun rights in tact. So its pure shit if he's appropriating funds for personal gain.

 

[DA SWO]

My understanding is GOA is a family business.
They need to bring non-family in if they really want to replace the NRA as the #1 gun lobby.

 

[Salt USMC]

The NRA's financial difficulties, including the legal and financial failures of the Carry Guard program, are a matter of public record.

As a matter of consequence, the New York AG has begun investigating based partially on the report from The Trace, the New Yorker article I linked, and the recent revelations that have arisen since the dustup between North and LaPierre.

Think of the disgusting irony if this led to a loss of political power within Washington which in turn meant a loss of gun rights down the road.

Yep,
La Pierre doing the dirty work.
I hope la Pierre goes to prision if they go under.
