That’s One Of My Conditions…

… to ever even consider re-joining the Vichy NRA.

JUST IN: Wayne LaPierre Resigns as NRA Leader Days Before Trial Brought By NY AG Letitia James
On Friday Wayne LaPierre announced he will be resigning as the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) leader just days before his civil trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James begins.

That’s one. Well, actually two, now, since getting rid of Chris Cox was another of my conditions.

Seriously. Fire Wayne LaPierre. Chris Cox, too.

Then repudiate ERPOs and bump-fire bans. Apologize for opposing constitutional carry, for helping draft “assault weapons” bans, and endorsing obviously anti-human/civil rights politicians. Hell, apologize for supporting NFA ’34, GCA ’68, FOPA ’86, et cetera (it’s a long list).

And I’ll at least think about maybe joining.

I don’t expect them to actually apologize for all that, but then I expected E-Veep-For-Life LaPierre to die in office.

And it’s a minor thing, pertinent only to me, but I’d like them to either give me the magazine back issues I missed when they kept canceling my membership in the ’90s and sending me membership renewal notices, or refund me for the years of a five-year membership they disappeared. That and the city “assault weapon” ban that the NRA wrote were the final straws. It’s sort of a toss-up whether I quit or they canceled me again.

Well, his resignation is effective January 31. I guess we should watch to see how much more damage he can do on the way out.

  1. Being a Patron level life member, I’m going to missed sending them love notes every time I got a pre stamped returned envelope with their asking for more $$$ solicitations, btw the love note always said one thing;

    Dump Wayne!!!

    Here’s the problem with the NRA, with or without Wayne; the Board of Directors, the zillion of them, so many that you can’t really clean house in an election and don’t forget; everything Wayne did, the Board approved.

    Until there is a house cleaning which also means a reduction in BOD members and Patriots get in control of the NRA, the NRA will remain a corrupted organization electing more RINO’s, IMHO.

  2. I got my mail yesterday, before seeing the news of the sad resignation of WLP. And wouldn’t you know it, there was a letter from Old Wayne himself, via the NRA asking me to renew my membership now, instead of waiting the 5 months until it came due. They even offered me a free hat!
    I admit that I have stayed with the NRA through this mess, with the hope that eventually the judge will appoint a qualified individual to run the organization until they are able to come up with a new list of by-laws that get rid of around 2/3’s of board members and other changes that would make the NRA the group that they could be.
    The fact is that the NRA has a LOT more members than any of the other good gun groups that are out there, and in Washington D.C., numbers count. It the NRA got it’s stuff together, they could have over 10 million members, and enormous funds to put pressure on the power brokers in D.C. that make stupid anti gun laws.
    If after the trial is over, there is no chance of the NRA’s ship being righted, I would then leave, having tried to stay with them until they fixed their mess.

  3. I’m still a life member of NRA & GOA. I give to GOA, 2AF, and my State and Local gun rights organizations. I *USED TO* give to the NRA/ILA, but sending them $20 only yielded additional donation requests that probably cost them more than the $20 I sent. I had saved the last several months of pester-mail, so I wrote “NO!” across every contribution slip & sent them all back in one of their envelopes. It stopped.

    When Lapierre’s wardrobe costs more than my entire net worth, phucque that.

    On the plus side, the MEDIA seems to think the NRA’s 5 million members are more virulent than the other 30 million or so gun owners, so they play the “NRA is a villain” narrative on and endless loop. It reminds me of the old practical joke where you write “How do you keep an idiot busy? (over ->) ” on both sides of a piece of paper, & hand it to someone.
