Apparently, Oliver North tried to extort Wayne LaPierre:

This shoot out is amusing. LaPierre and North deserve each other and hopefully they'll bring the entire NRA down.

All over financial transgressions eh??? Perhaps the Russian laundry money has dried up and the NRA is having trouble surviving.

The light came on, the rubles dried out and the rats are left to fight over the remaining scraps, eh? I am really quite entertained. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

It really takes a very special kind of organization to to hire a traitorous dipstick like North and then be all hurt and surprised that he isn't trustworthy. And by "special", I mean "stupid", in case anyone was wondering.

Hopefully if true, now that North has nothing to lose, he releases the information.

Apparently the long-time attorney for the organization is out too, after warning that the NRA was in danger of losing its tax-exempt status. LaPierre is trying to keep his financial fraud hidden. Odd that Oliver North was spearheading that effort.



Ah, well. I believe G. Gordon Libby is still around, perhaps he will be the next president of the NRA.

He's certainly experienced at trying to hide things.

Its great entertainment and couldn't happen to two of my favorite people. I hear Lapierre used NRA money for a $200,000 wardrobe and that was part of North's complaint.

I want the Fudds gone. Lapierre can go.
I only became a lifer to vote in pro2A individuals not continue the capitulation by country club elitist Fudds.

Freedoms safest place my azz.
Not Real Activists made sure Red Flag laws came to be -take the guns first due process later... guilty until proven innocent... and bumpstocks were banned without reimbursement or grandfathering.

Bunch of spineless capitulating self serving Fudds.
Clean the rot out.

If I had Lapierres paycheck I'd have the best lawyers money can buy sue to restore rights infringed upon in states like NY CA MA CT NJ WA etc

I'd run the NRA for a side gig. Gimme 30k per year and I'll oust the Fudds wholesale. Maybe give them their own subdivision to Fudd up.
I'll even cut Wayne's paycheck should he retire before I'd send him packing. Yeah
He's got a contract to get his yearly salary should he retire for the rest of his life.

Again... self serving/enriching capitulating Fudds.
The money I would save the organization would be put to good use.

I'd lead by example. If you're only here for the money? There's the door.
If you're here to subvert rights there's the door.
Oh and before you go? You owe all your members one hell of an apology and perhaps a refund from YOUR accumulated wealth is in order.
I'd go scorched earth on them for being spineless and self serving/enriching.
