You are correct Wayne and his butt boys need to go.You are missing the biggest, most important piece and that is the lobbying. Neither of these orgs do that and they are not prepared to fill the void. Not even close!
What the NFRA needs is reform. Yes the CEO/President needs to be replaced and his cronies. But now is not the time to be our skinflint selves and blow it all up. These guys are on our side. We need them. They are the face of 2a and our opposition spends 90% off their money fighting the NRA. The best defense is a good offense.
A new CEO will get $2M per year and he will be worth it. Sorry gents that is the going rate for a competent leader. Think of it this way: would you rather spend $500k on incompetence and get no results? (Hint the answer is NO). Get the results, worry about the $$$ later. Can you get that? It isn't a perfect system, but that doesn't matter. Pay your annual dues and support the fight, and pray that the NRA is not gone someday. Our hobby will not be safe without them.

Here's the hitch, He ain't leaving !
Combine that with the fact he made sure over the years there is no mechanism to remove him.
So now what ?
Keep writing the checks to support his suit, travel and side piece budget ?
I'm a 40+ year member and if anyone has a solid plan to dump his ass and right the ship , I'm all ears.
