This is how satan attacks his enemies.
Children will turn against their parents, brother against brother.
Uh oh. This is probably not a sign of good health in the NRA.
“...$200,000 of wardrobe purchases by LaPierre that were charged to a vendor, according to the people....”
********************************
Geez ... seems a bit excessive to me.
I have NEVER trusted LaPeter.
I’ve read that Wayne LaPierre has been caving on a lot of gun issues. It might not be a bad thing if he’s ousted, especially if he’s been stealing from the membership.
So, run an audit— like any professional organization would do.
I have long thought Mr. LaPierre has served the NRA well, from what I could see, but it was time to bring in a new voice and a different face. Dana Loesch would do an excellent job. She would also be likely to convince more women to learn about using and carrying. The more the merrier!
A false claim of extortion is slander, correct?
I don’t question North’s integrity. Let the evidence speak for itself.
Wayne’s been there a long time, perhaps too long. If an organization needs to fight, the guys at the top can’t be too comfortable.
“$200,000 of wardrobe purchases by LaPierre that were charged to a vendor”
Large amounts of money can tempt the weak. $200,000 for wardrobe?
What is his salary? He can buy his own clothes, I imagine.
I stand with NORTH!! Get out!!
The NRA has done a heck of a lot of good for the gun rights cause. The purists are playing right into the left’s hands.
I dropped my NRA membership several years ago when they endorsed all the Dem incumbents in the NEW MEXICO elections.
I told the NRA : Why do you think these Dems will support the 2nd when they don’t even believe in the Constitution to BEGIN with???
Does sound like a good financial audit is in order. Which is probably a good idea with any organization.
However, if all this is based on an article in “The New Yorker”, which is possibly the slimiest leftist magazine that good wood pulp was ever wasted on, I am inclined to doubt there is any actual problem at all.
Every year at about the time of the NRA’s annual convention, there are always these stories about “the NRA is collapsing”, the NRA’s membership is dropping”, “internal dissent at NRA”, blah, blah, blah..... They only wish.
This is all just Lilliputians pissing on Gulliver’s shoes.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. LaPierre has been there too long. North has a good moral compass and the optics of the situation make me inclined to support him. But what has driven me away from the NRA is a lack of attention, in my opinion, to the State of California’s assault on gun owners and the perception that they are a bucks up organization that can afford clothing perks and glossy high dollar communications materials. Save this money for the lawyers.
God’s speed Ollie.
Explain the extortion.
