Time to drain the NRA Swamp?

So basically.... "Nothing to see here....move along....move along!"

I hope that is the case and there is really nothing to these allegations.

Because, if the allegations are true, the alternative is going to be an ugly mess that at best is damaging to the 2nd amendment cause.

Put another way, our financial house is in order – we aren’t going away.

Huh. The last email I got from Wayne said I needed to give money or the NRA was going away.

*URGENT*

Mr. Lapierre needs new pants, your life membership will cover the cost of an entire pair! Donate today, or ELSE! YOUR RIGHTS HANG IN THE BALANCE. Mr. Lapierre has a very complex inseam to waist ratio, and dockers won't cut it. How can we raise money, if Mr Lapierre is forced to wear rack grade pants? Hillary wins if our dear leader gets even the slightest of wedges.

...and commercial flights are for peasants.

I agree, but I'm a private jet mechanic so I think everyone should buy into a Gulfstream.

He needs to hang out in the Pdub thread, pants are frowned upon.

Maybe LT6 could visit him and unknowingly to Mr. LaPierre relieve him of all his pants..........and his wallet.

Paging LT6....Paging LT6....Pants cleanup in the NRA aisle please.

Hickock 45 has something to say about NRA hate in the shooting community.

Good stuff !

Ackerman McQueen just cut ties with the NRA, there is one major check on my complaint list gone. Now we just need to get rid of Wayne (my pants are more expensive than your car) LaPierre.

Personally I will be happy to see Colion Noir, and Dana Loesch gone. The NRA has enough cash flow to produce their own programming.

I don’t agree with the last part. Colon Noir and Dana Loesch are not the problem with the NRA. Except I’d like to see Loesch change her schtick.The angry, clinched fist style is good for fundraising, but not so great for outreach. Colon Noir I think behaves more like an ambassador for gun rights.

Good way of putting it. I liked Dana back in the early days. I think she grew too much, too fast... but that's probably due to how much of a target they made her with regards to the NRA. She never took crap, which can be good. Just feels less genuine though.

Colion seems like a good guy

I would hate for us to lose Mr. Noir. I think he fills a very important role for the NRA.

Hey, I don't blame Dana for being clinched fist angry. She puts up with **** all day long on twitter trying to fight the good fight. I think I'd have more than some clinched fists if I had to endure what she does. She has snide elitist progressives saying they hope all my kids get shot.

But, angry clinched fists don't make good ambassadors.

'Bout time

 

[blue2golf]

Losing Hickok is a pretty big deal, at least for me it is. Like him, I want a strong NRA. We NEED a strong NRA, but I don't know what's going on there.

Finally sat down and read my latest copy of American Rifleman yesterday, no mention of any controversy, noted some new lady is president and Chris Cox's column is there, printed before his suspension.

NYT: @NRA shuts down production at @NRATV, its live broadcasting arm, and cuts ties to estranged contractor @AckermanMcQ, as well as the personalities who appear on @NRATV

Wayne LaPierre: "...after careful consideration, I am announcing that starting today, we are undergoing a significant change in our communications strategy. We are no longer airing ‘live TV’ programming.”

 

[Expat]

Looks like Wayne is now at the "everyone at the top is bad but me" stage. Even if true, what does that say about his leadership ability?

We've all picked girlfriends that later turned out to be a bad choice. Ackerman McQueen turned out to be on the wrong side of the Hot / Crazy spectrum.
