The NRA is a long way from being ideal in how they are run & who who the main players are, but aside from the 2nd Amendment Foundation, they are the best we've got.

However, LaPierre is totally ineffective as a spokesperson & there has not really be anyone really capable there since Charlton Heston.

The NRA needs a charismatic & popular spokesman to get the country & especially the marginal gun owners, on board & LaPierre is simply not that person, though he appears sincere & I believe he truly means well.

All of us gun looney's are not who he needs to appeal to, it's the other 75 million or so gun owners that we need on board & I just don't see LaPierre being able to get much movement there.
