The battles at some of the state level governments have been brutal. So it's like there have been many battles to fight.

mjlennonThe NRA can't win their own battles. How do you expect them to stand up to yours? They're nothing but a money raising organization. I've given my last dollar to them.
My recommendation is to find a local state 2A organization and support them. I have our very own Pale Horse to thank for turning me onto GeorgiaCarry.org. They do more with $20 in a year than $200k would do with NRA.

corsairI sure hope this is a way to boot-out Wayne and get somebody who's a bit more savvy with the business world and the media world. As years passed, he became more of a liability, appearing like and confirming the bias' of a 'country club conservative'.

Not as easy to move offices and other facilities as it is to move a paper charter. They simply can't pack up one of the most advanced ranges and move it.
Getting rid of Wayne would be a great idea.

220-9erWayne has to go.
Then we'll talk.

Belgian BlueI did renew my annual membership. Lady on the phone asked if I'd like to upgrade to a lifetime membership. I said not till they fire WLP. She said she's heard from a lot of people wanting him to go.

He needs to go into the trash, like all the NRA mailings I receive. I know, he'll be suffering and walking the bread lines after being released, but the time has come.
If we were the NRA, he'd be gone. But apparently we are not the NRA.

Il CattivoAha! "The NRA bankruptcy petition is part of a plan to reorganize outside the state of New York." according to TFB.

Not to mention that there is a huge firearms museum at that facility in Fairfax.

46and2Any move that doesn't include Wayne being replaced is a halfass endeavor at best.
Get rid of that man.

jonremA couple points:
Most of us are for term limits for politicians. I think WLP’s term has expired. Too engrained, too much of a liability.
We need a steadfast, relatable NRA leadership.
NRA lost me with the limp-dick response to the bump stock ban.

I understand. Seems to me LaPierre showed his true stripes in the past couple of years. His first priority is to serve himself, gun rights get the leftovers.

BBMWI'm betting Wayne is driving this bus. This is a tactical move to avoid the NYS AG crawling into their underwear.

You may well be correct, which begs the question. Is Wayne doing this to promote the NRA's mission? Or to make things better for Wayne.

kramdenAnytime you leave NY should be considered a very wise move. Also give the NRA's presidency to Trump on a part time basis. I'm sure he could do more for the NRA and the 2nd amendment in a part time capacity than anyone else could full time.

Really?
With all that is going on with the country, you make a stupid comment like that?
You really show your colors, don't you?

PatriotAny bets that the reorg will "cancel" existing life memberships...
So they'll make you start over and grope you for even more money?
