Ole' Wayne has been re-elected CEO of the NRA.  Only one vote for Allen West.  The BoD isn't about to interrupt the gravy train.

Unbelievable.

Well, I guess it's believable, but kinda sad to see so many who blindly keep the status quo, even after all the evidence of the last few years.

What makes you think it's "blindly"?

I'm sure everyone on the executive floor of NRA HQ is behind him. I meant the run of the mill gun owner you run into at the gun range who won't hear of you dissing Wayne. Most of them seem to think that all the malfeasance is made up.

I feel better about not having to add any more years to my current membership to get in the exhibit floor Friday.

I quit rejoining after the last time they overwhelming re-elected Wayne.  They have no interest in ever reforming.

They will not reform no matter who I "vote" for for the board.

I will rejoining if Wayne leaves and the board of directors is replaced with one that isn't crooked and/or incompetent.

It is sad.

The public face of the National Rifle Association’s leadership, Wayne LaPierre, goes on trial Monday in Manhattan. New York’s hyper-political Attorney General Latitia James seeks to remove LaPierre and others, alleging that they violated state and federal laws with their “diversion” of funds for questionable purposes like travel, clothing and more.

Interestingly, for the past half year to year, I have been getting the "send money" emails from a name other than Wayne. I had thought they were doing that because nobody wants to give Wayne money anymore. In the past few weeks though, they have gone back to being from Wayne. I wonder if they're trying to get member support for him?

Wayne might have had a temporary injunction against him ordering him to stop shilling for donations.  Naturally that doesn't stop the grift so cue up a cardboard cutout spokesman.

Plausible but suspicious.

How wise of him to wait until after he'd discredited and sullied the organization, instead of getting out years ago.

I'd like to think that a 150-year-old organization with so much to be proud of could reform itself, and once again become the 800-pound gorilla of days past.

Today was one large step in the right direction.
