Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wayne LaPierre...testifies in court...did not go well.

There has been a cadre of members who have been saying LaPierre is poison for decades. Now that he has run the organization into the ground, people are paying attention.

I have met Wayne three times, one of which was at a meeting where he was present. Straight up, the biggest douchebag I've ever met. He shows up to the meeting, shakes everyone's hand and he always gives out his business card like it's some sort of special keepsake. Then when it's his turn to talk, he spews every pro-2A trope known to man (whether the situation calls for it or not), and never offers anything of any actual substance.

I pegged him as a con-man inside of 1 minute in the very first meeting. There is NO WAY the board of directors didn't know EXACTLY who Wayne LaPierre was and what he was about.

Why is the NRA having such a hard time understanding that the problems that they are having are due in large part to WLP's leadership? Get rid of the crooked scumbag and put somebody in charge that isn't going to squander millions of dollars. It's also long past time to cut ALL of the fat and get back to just doing their job, defending the 2A. Spend that savings on the most bloodthirsty lawyers money can buy, not on hunting trips and yachts.

Lot's of anti-gun activist are salivating at the possibilities, now that the NRA is on the ropes. Through his personal greed and arrogance, WLP has put our gun rights into jeopardy.

Best we can do is to double our support other gun rights organizations, and hope the NRA flushes WLP ASAP and gets back in the game soon.

WLP’s position is pretty isolated from internal removal. Jail time appears to be the best hope for removing him.

Then purge and trim the BoDs to a much smaller, manageable level from the present bloat that it is.

He's been a total failure since day one.

No personality, no passion, no inspiration, corrupt, fugghead.

So ol' Wayne is a Lawyer and knows a thing or two about what he is doing...

More important the the boat trip is this little bit:


Look at the taxes NY is now trying to levy after setting up a budget line item of $1.2bn to give to illegal immigrants...

I say keep throwing up roadblocks Wayne.

After Neal Knox, Wayne made sure to change the bylaws so another member takeover never happens again. He quite conveniently made it damn near impossible to remove him as leader. If they kick him out, he gets a HUGE golden parachute.

Read Gungeeks last paragraph . That’s as big a part of the problem as WLP .
Kinda like the republicans an democrats , they are milking it , just two different cows.

Not a fan of WLP and his attitude or willingness to spend our money.

However, family aboard or not, if there are Senators or Congressmen that need schmoozing for a 2A vote, well, that's just the way business is done DC; legal or not. Not defending him in any way, but simply another way to look at it.

So the New York Attorney General wants to seize the NRA's $200 million in assets and redistribute it to other non-profits? WTF?

I am surprised that no one has posited that wlp is a sleeper inserted to ruin the NRA. A potential conspiracy is going to waste.

So where is watch4bear on this?

WLP has hurt this nation with his wreckless decisions and personal greed.

The NRA was a lobby second to none.

I told them that a long time ago. The NRA has ruined the NRA. Many more are also corrupt.

WLP is a symptom, not the root cause, he wasn't there when the NRA leadership was supportive of GCA-68

Doubtful the gun owning public will ever learn

The AG is just another Soros plant. What do you expect when a Soros plant gets on the throat of a crook like WLP? She just wants to steal some money. Like a lot of knee grows I have known, after 24 years working in a prison. Be Well, RZ.

If dispersed it should go back to the members.

The NRA has been marginally effective for a decade or more. Lobbying politicians is fine and probably necessary. They should have spent more money and effort suing the federal government and state governments over unconstitutional firearms legislation. Take lessons from the environmental groups constantly suing to advance their agenda.
WLP progressively used his position to enrich himself to the detriment of the organization. He is personally responsible for what is happening now and the NRA's weakened position.
The NRA-ILA is having a legislative town hall on April 21 in Tucson. The NRA is having an Online Workshop on April 22. Are these events worth attending or a waste of time?

I don't know watch4bear but I'm guessing he has figured out how wrong he was and is now embarrassed to admit it so he has disappeared. Alternatively, he may be dead.
