Surprised this hasn't made national headlines, nor the pages of Campfire. Can this be true? https://gishgallop.com/the-nras-wayne-lapierre-offers-tear-filled-resignation/Went to NRA homepage for first time ever. No news there. But also, the NRA site is nothing but advertising for Join, Read, View, Shop, Give, stuff for sale.

Gish gallop means to hurl lies and falsehoods at your opponent during a debate.
Guessing it’s not true.

So, you read the "article"?
“Look, for too long I have come out here and told people that a bunch of dead kids is a good thing. I have to either stop doing that or put my guns to the use they’re likely headed for anyway. Putting a bullet through my wrinkly little head.” LaPierre continues, “I am just going to choose to stop acting like dead kids are something we need to embrace. I am going to open an orphanage. I think that’s a better use of my time than making murdered kids sound like a fundamental human right, and I may, finally, be able to sleep at night.”
“Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.”
― G. Orwell
"Why can't men kill big game with the same cartridges women and kids use?"
_Eileen Clarke

It's satire.
Wish it were so, anyway. That fugger won't go out any other way than feet first on a stretcher after expiring from olde age.

Ted Nugent could not be reached for comment - for once in his entire life.

Notice of intent
This website is for entertainment purposes only. Please do not let your children use this site. If something in one of the stories you see here is not true, that would mean it’s fiction. You can still do that without censorship – create fiction. You may see satire and that’s okay, too. If this offends you, you may want to look at better ways to use your time than run-of-the-mill indignation. Your Chi will improve. This sentence legally follows the one preceding it.
Any campaign revenue that generates funds other than from regular Gish Gallop advertising will be donated to local charities. Examples would be mock GoFundme fund-raising or donation requests for donation for mock causes. Everything else we keep to stock the booze closet.
Any persons mentioned in our copy bearing resemblance to persons living or dead is a mere coincidence and probably a creation in your overactive imagination. Remember, the Internet is not about you and your relatively insignificant life, although we understand how you might feel that way. We certainly do. Occasionally, we might use real people and call them out by name, in which case they probably deserve it. And they probably like the attention anyway. By law, you must not read the preceding paragraph.
Litigation Notice
Please do not sue us. Here’s why. The First Amendment protects parody and satire as a form of free speech and expression. Gish Gallop uses invented names in all of its stories, except in cases where public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental. Gish Gallop is not intended for readers under 18 years of age or people that don’t have a maturity level of at least 18 years of age.

Without terminating the rest of the BoD, the problems within the NRA will only fester and persist. Any Board that would allow LaPierre to conduct business the way he did ain't worth keeping.

If the NRA wants another penny from me, they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

25 years ago I was standing around at the Puyallup gun show, when I was told, "There goes Wayne LaPierre with his body guard right behind him!"
I watched them walk, but they did not seem interesting.

Even if he does step down at this point it's too little too late for me.

You need to do better research.
