LaPierre Finally Quits

[drew890]

Scum bag. Good riddance.

Yet the BOD that protected him for decades is still there. Will anything really change?

Wayne finally quits.

Effective 31 Jan.

If I could, I would use Hoser's avatar in my post. And yes, good riddance to him. I've been an NRA member since 1963, and have no intention of quitting. I was a regular contributor to the NRA-ILA, but stopped when I saw the dirty tricks and mounting corruption. It is not a member run organization if LaPierre, Putin, and Xi declare themselves dictator for life.

So the guy has since reimbursed the organization for embezzlement. Wow. Isn't that like a bank robber offering to return part of his heist after getting caught?

Early on, I think LaPierre did good work. I met him briefly at an NRA meeting in DC, in the late 80's, I think. At the time I thought he was a poor public speaker and should limit his words and let better reps take that role. In every TV interview and speech since, I shake my head.

I believe the corruption will not end until every officer and member of the board is forced to resign, and be expelled from membership. Every good member should demand it.

Good news but the damage has been done. Pretty sure there are quite a few more that need to be shown the door.

It's about time.
No wait...it's PAST time.

He has sucked MILLIONS from members dues.

Let me clarify. I've gone to the "membership meeting" the last two years. Which means I've gone to see the stuff in the hall.

But except for the first time, two years ago where I watched about 15 minutes of some anti-LaPierre folks TRY and speak (via correct procedure, I'm not talking about shouting from the cheap seats) and getting shut down, I have not attended the actual membership meeting itself.
