Total weasel.
The phrase "leading it", may be misleading.
Ohhh…how hard the mighty can fall……
He was on that kid island
Dear ignorant who are happy he retired because they think the NRA is the pro-gun force that's keeping guns alive in the U.S.: LaPierre represents the boomercon base that post videos online of themselves cutting their crappy Vietnam area AR in half. And although the NRA has helped with some pro-gun legislation, they don't bring anywhere near the amount of cases to court as other organizations that rightfully restore gun rights, in turn expanding gun ownership. Furthermore if the NRA wants to continue as an organization they will need to start pivoting from their dying boomer base, a base for which I will reiterate, moves the Overton window away from the right to protect yourself and loved ones to being dependent on law enforcement which hopefully is successful doing so, to a younger base that grew up with first person shooter videos games and are more pro-gun than the previous generations. Or if they don't pivot and die off with the boomercons, the organizations you don't hear of will fill the void and rise to prominence. Then instead of partaking in assisting legislation that infringes on gun rights, they will fight that legislation even seeing the light of day, and be able to do even more in court when bills do get through because their base and finances will have massively grown. The pay off will not be immediate but it won't take long for an acceleration in the restoring of rights.
This criminal should be charged for killing the American people.
The guy was a leech,sucking money out of the members he was supposed to represent.
He needs to be prosecuted for laundering Russian money and women to the Republican Party of domestic terrors!
How much Russian money did the nra launder to the trump crime cabal?
an organization SO Corrupt, criminal oliver north resigned and decried their business corruption
Thoughts and prayers.
It's still mind blowing that the NRA replaced Charleston Heston with this corrupt, swampy PoS.
LaPierre is the face of EVIL. So much blood on his hands.
Good riddance. He doesn’t care. Just another corrupt grifter and liar. Traitor that helped a Russian operative right into the White House and helped with the deaths of thousands of people. Just like Trump his money is hidden with the Russians and the Saudis. Heartless.
If you saw his wife, you'd understand why he spent the money
looks like republicans wont be getting thier kick back checks this year
Thank god it’s about time……..too many chronies on the board also
30 CORRUPT YEARS! and they wanted me to give them money just because i have firearms! GFY!
He was a CIA operative destroying the 2nd Amendment!
Good riddance!!! Don't let the door hit your butt on your way out.
Evil = NRA
Interesting he chooses today rather than tomorrow. He probably wanted to keep a sacred day sacred.
