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.

NRA Yes-Men Vote To Remain LaPierre’s Personal Piggybank

You may recall that the NRA cancelled its annual meeting just days before it was to happened, and said it would not be rescheduled. Then they very quietly — I hear most folks missed the notice — did schedule a new, scaled back meeting. In a different city.

Now we know why.

Wayne LaPierre is re-elected as CEO of National Rifle Associate despite NY AG’s claims he diverted funds to subsidize lavish lifestyle
The National Rifle Association board of directors have voted to reelect CEO Wayne LaPierre his position as the group’s chief executive officer – despite a scandal over the group’s financing.

A NRA spokesman tweeted the results of the vote, which took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Saturday. The organization did not share its vote tally.

NRA delenda est.

They could start by firing LaPierre

NRA Launches Drive to Add 100,000 Members in 100 Days
Fox News reports that NRA media relations manager Jason J. Brown said, “The NRA’s strength is in our dedicated and politically savvy members. Over the next 100 days we hope to welcome 100,000 new freedom-loving Americans to our ranks. The threat to our Second Amendment has never been greater.”

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.

Not until.
