If Wayne LaPierre is the Executive Vice-President of the NRA, who is the President?
Why doesn't the President of the NRA make statements?
I’m the President.
I farm out everything.....
As most liberals do when any gun issue comes up their arrogance and narcissism blossoms and they act like, and sometimes actually demand, that the other side do what they think they should at exactly the time they believe it should be done.
No.
There has never been a day or a single second that I or any other gun owner had to act on your timetable or ask your permission for a damn thing. I will never ask your permission to or notify you when I utilize my firearms in any legal manner that I chose to.
We do not now nor will we ever answer to you or need your permission for anything that has to do with our guns or our organizations.
You just are not nearly as important as your arrogant and narcissistic selfcentered ass thinks you are.
Now go back to your snowflake shop and leave the grownups alone.

As to your second question, he’s probably too busy shipping out orders for AR parts to make statements.
Wayne is CEO and Executive VP.
You’re wanting to know who the President of NRA is because you want to know why he doesn’t (your words) make statements?
Do I look like some snowflake to you?
The President of the NRA is mostly a ceremonial position.
The Chief Executive Officer is the Executive Vice President.
That is Wayne LaPierre’s position.
You came here, started a vanity post to ask a question you could have answered on your own in less than 26 seconds?
wow
LaPierre is Exec VP and CEO.
The NRA President is more of a PR type of position as best I can tell.
It’s LaPierre, and Chris Cox who are running the show.
We’re all talking to you now. I think the point has been made. Probably better let it go.
> Why doesn’t the President of the NRA make statements? <
I don’t know why some folks are getting so worked up here. That’s a very fair question. And not the NRA ever asked me, but to my mind the president of the NRA should be a VERY well-known person, one who is out there in public, making the NRA’s case.
Like Charlton Heston, for example (NRA president from 1998 to 2003).
Most “associations” are run by a hired executive director, usually with direction from a Board of Directors. The Board has a President, VP and other officers.
The Executive Director makes sure the policies and day-to-day business transactions are accomplished.
Often, the Board of Directors are regular members who want to be more involved in the running of the association.
If the President doesn’t want to be the spokesperson, he doesn’t have to be. Charleston Heston was a well-known actor and a natural speaker, so that was part of his contribution.
And I still can’t get that musket out of Charleton Heston’s hands...
Sheesh I've been posting on this board for 18 years now.
Charlton Heston was such a class act. I wonder how he would have handled this situation.
I just heard his speech he gave to the National Press Club on 2nd Amendment rights back in 1997.
It was breathtakingly done. That was a man.
oldenuff35, I am not sure why you jumped on Extremely Extreme Extremist like that.
I thought it was uncalled fo; EEE just asked a question. No need for that kind of response.
