Good to see the NRA maintains it's steadfast commitment to principled leadership and the rule of law.
Heh, this is a twist that I definitely did not see coming.

Will his salary be 4 million dollars a year like Wayne's?

Guess they couldn't find a 'law abiding' citizen for the job.

Nope, ACLU got him off because he testified about it all under a immunity deal, and they then convicted him for things he testified about. It was a reasonable argument that they had the evidence already, but it failed before a judge.
Its nice to see the NRA adding some principled leadership, this should be a perfect fit.
Maybe he can piggy back on his prior sale of weapons to Iran and help out the gun manufacturers.

La Pierre is not the President, he is the VP. North replaces someone else. Since LaPierre stays on through various Presidents, and apparently will stay on with North and is always the spokesman when mass shootings and such happen, Im guessing maybe the Presidents job is somewhat ceremonial. I think Charlton Heston was once President as well.

LOL! He's the perfect thug and criminal to head up the NRA!

Gun lovers don't care. They love Iran. Oh wait . .

Sure. Trump would definitely hire a criminal like North. Just like Fox gave him a job.
