And this is all Wayne's fault. He is the top exec.One thing is for sure, the anti's will see problems in the NRA as a sign of weakness for the entire RKBA movement and it will encourage them in their efforts against us.

They don't need encouragement. As @jpk said, they'll soon wish the NRA was back.One thing is for sure, the anti's will see problems in the NRA as a sign of weakness for the entire RKBA movement and it will encourage them in their efforts against us.

One thing I object to is the use of "coup" to describe what is/has happened in the NRA. It's yet another example of the cheapening of language through hyperbole. Probably half the time a chief exec leaves his position there was some concerted political maneuvering to force it to happen. That doesn't make it a "coup".
And, they're behind Heller and McDonald. The NRA loves to blow the horn and claim they're driving the train, but SAF and Alan Gura have done the heavy lifting.Second Amendment Foundation
Or the 2nd Ammendment Foundation. They are behind about 80% of the lawsuits brought against municipalities like NYC.
Legal precedence is more important than lobbying, IMO.
I posted a podcast earlier on this thread that's worth a listen- there was definitely a coup.
Here's a timeline of events and a link to the podcast
I understand (and have always understood) that there was an attempt at changing the leadership of the organization. I don't accept that any of it could reasonably be described as an attempted coup d'etat.
Here is a cut and paste of the timeline. We all need to be aware of what ollie tried to do here.....and I think its commendable. Remember......attorney Brewer is related to ack mack royalty. The whole f***ing NRA is a corrupt f***ing joke at this point. Wayne is responsible and should resign.I posted a podcast earlier on this thread that's worth a listen- there was definitely a coup.

This is Wayne's "gifts planning intern" that he rented an apartment for. Megan Allan. Undoubtedly brought on for her amazing gifts planning skills.

Wayne LaPierre bills AckMac $12,804.84 in rent for Megan Allen
Well now you know.Ya know, I was wondering who the "tute" was under this line item:
Renting a chick for $12K. Hopefully not for a single night. LOL

To my eyes the NRA issues are indicative of a much larger problem in this country. That is charitable organizations, civil rights groups and other types of non-profit orgs that depend on donations that turn out to be nothing more than wealth creation vehicles for a handful of people at the top who end up living posh lifestyles on the backs of people who in good faith donated money thinking that the money was being put to good use. Sure the organizations deliver tiny little crumbs of hope and makes it sound like they are fighting the good fight, but in the end nothing happens except that the organization will be at the ready when it's time for new membership dollars. This isn't a left or right problem either, it's across the board. I've read article over the years about so many left leaning organizations where CEOs, top management and board members live on very good salaries that are entirely dependent on donations. I suppose I'm happy in a way that the NRA is going through because in the end it should come out a much better organization and hopefully refocused on what matters, not what congressman's dinner party the top brass will get an invitation. Hopefully the NRA twists and fits will become part of a larger dialog regarding how money gets utilized in charitable organizations.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, there must be some sweating going on.
They have to know that they are one mis-step away from lowering the lifeboats.
The question at this point is will Wayne step aside for the good of the organization or will his ego make him ride it to the ground like Slim Pickens on a nuclear bomb ?
Personally I think he'll see it all burn before he gives it up.
Which makes him a dangerous man.
