Oh, shit. I got all excited thinking LaPierre had stepped down.I personally don't think they could find a better man to lead this Org...

Oh well. Col. North will do alright, but I hope he finds a way to get rid of Wayne and Chris. What a noxious combo to sell gun safety to this country.
Nah. LaPierre runs the show. The president gives speeches and stuff.
Neither of the other two are going anywhere.
Correct. The position is a figure head and public speaker position.
North will do good at that position.
Policy will be determined by others.

Why can I just not think the guy is that bad? It's got to be my moral relativity showing.
Maybe I'm just a sucker for a guy in uniform.
When you are a career soldier 99% of the time you do exactly what you are told, that 1% all I can say is you better have a damn good reason or be willing to faces the consequences... Nothing like playing civilian...

He and Reagan circumvented Congress and the Constitution they had sworn to uphold. That's criminal enough.

Oliver North and John Poindexter were indicted on multiple charges on March 16, 1988.[108] North, indicted on 16 counts, was found guilty by a jury of three felony counts. The convictions were vacated on appeal on the grounds that North's Fifth Amendment rights may have been violated by the indirect use of his testimony to Congress, which had been given under a grant of immunity.

Whap! As soon as Colonel North assumed the prestigious post of president of the super patriot organization National Rifle Association, the left brought up Iran-Contra. We were fighting communism during Cold War and pussies like John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy had cut off aid to CONTRA freedom fighters. North did what he had to do...and then had to falll on his sword to protect higher-up’s. Not Reagan! Good Marine. Semp-Fi Colonel North.

Hmmm....Nope....your certainty in no way validates your argument. I note your feelings....with amusement.Billy, if you want the NRA to win over the hearts and minds of the fence sitters, you have the wrong people at the top.Oh, shit. I got all excited thinking LaPierre had stepped down.
Oh well. Col. North will do alright, but I hope he finds a way to get rid of Wayne and Chris. What a noxious combo to sell gun safety to this country.
Nah. LaPierre runs the show. The president gives speeches and stuff.

Disappointing.
Nah. They've done a great job.
There are no fence sitters. Only those educated, and those uneducated.

Well..he did take the lemons he had..and make a lot of lemonade--a total come back story success, I guess.Why can I just not think the guy is that bad? It's got to be my moral relativity showing.

His selection just clearly shows where the NRA lines up, politically.
Not that there was any doubt.
