Commentary by Cam Edwards on NRA elections:
I have a passing acquaintance with Bob Barr thanks to my longtime tenure at NRA News. We've had a few conversations over the years at the Annual Meetings, and he's been a guest on Cam & Co in the past, though it's been awhile since he's been on the show. I have nothing against Barr as a person. He's a fascinating conversationalist and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, but I confess he wasn't my first choice for NRA president this year.

There were a lot of positive signs over the weekend that gave me hope the reform camp was going to prevail during Monday's board meetings, but Barr's election gave me pause. As of this writing, I haven't spoken to any board member to find out what, if any, reassurances Barr might have given board members about his commitment to reform before the vote was cast, but he was the hand-picked candidate of the nominating committee, which means he was the preferred choice of the status quo.
@StephenGutowski
Bill Bachenberg, who was a reform candidate, won the First Vice President over Blaine Wade by a vote of 36 to 31. So, the reformers got a win on the second spot.

It wasn't a clean sweep for the reform slate, but it was pretty darn close, and that's supremely good news for NRA members who want to see the organization regain its strength. With the election of reform-minded officers, it looks like a majority of the board understands the dire position the organization is in and the need to rebuild the trust of current and former members. I just hope it's not too late to overcome the challenges the NRA faces.

Please tell me they don’t mean Bushite RINO, corrupt AG/helped cover up the Steal Bob Barr.
Please tell me its a different Bob Barr.
It is not the AG Bill Barr.
oops! Thank you. I'll just scrape this egg off my face. :^)
Whew! Thanks
Rep. Bill Barr (R) was one of the first victims of massive Democrat election fraud.
LOL #me too
Don’t worry, it’s not the former attorney general.
The former congressman. When he lost out he went to work for the ACLU IIRC. I’m still not joining
It’s the Bob Barr who was a former candidate for POTUS for the Libertarian Party, and he was made a fool of by Sacha Baron Cohen, in the movie, Borat.
Question politely asked and politely answered. No egg was deposited on anyone’s face.
No. Thank goodness.
Bob Barr is a former congressman from Georgia and a pretty conservative guy. He was a stalwart supporter of the 2nd Amendment when in Congress. I think it was election fraud that probably pushed him out as far back as 2003. He was well liked in his district and I was shocked when he lost.
It’s Borat Breast milk cheese Bob.
He ate it. Lol!
Maybe he joined the ACLU to try to reform it.
No worries. I made the same mistake by calling Bill Barr (NY,NY) Bob (from Georgia)
This is the good Bob Barr, always liked him, if i remember he was alway pain in the ass for Bill Clinton.
This Ping List is for all news pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from this Ping List.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
That was my first thought too, but I think Bob Barr is a pretty conservative ex Congressman iirc.
