NRA suspends Chris Cox

[HCountyGuy]

So is it time to overthrow the current idiots and make a course correction or let them steer right in to an iceberg and sink the ship while everyone scrambles for the lifeboats whining about “coulda, woulda, shoulda”?

I think the time for pissing and moaning is over and the time to un-kitten this debacle is yesterday. I’m of the opinion things could be salvaged because the NRA still has the biggest stick (phrasing) for what we need done to protect gun rights.

No offense to the other organizations, but most gun owners haven’t a clue as to who they are or what, if anything, they’ve done. There needs to be some level of unification and having the NRA crumble to be filled by countless other groups vying to fill their shoes isn’t likely to get us anywhere desirable.

Jesus.

Chris was one of the good ones

Was he? He was making an awful lot of money too.

NRATV Shuts Down, Further Severing Ties Between the NRA and Its Longtime Agency

The below NRA.org link doesn't have it's own unique page name, it's a landing page that will eventually contain different content.. FYI.

Dear NRA Members,
As many of you may know, we have been evaluating if our investment in NRATV is generating the benefits needed. This consideration included the return on investment and the cost and the direction of the content. Many members expressed concern about the messaging on NRATV becoming too far removed from our core mission: defending the Second Amendment.

NRA TV needed to go. While it’s definitely a more worthwhile expense then LaPierres in house Tinder date, it was preaching to the choir at its finest. What we need is more outreach and less echo chamber.

I wonder how long before the NRA figures out that WLP and his family need to go.

And American gun rights will pay the price for WLP’s greed and the NRA’s willful blindness to it

I hope that Brownells does something wonderful with ARF and social media (I think that they will), we need it.

He was the head lobbyist for one of the most influential groups on The Hill, if he had worked for big pharmaceutical or a defense contractor he would have made at least double his NRA salary.

The real talk is that Wayne is way underpaid compared to what he’d get working for a think tank or something.

What was Wayne’s wife getting paid?

I'm pretty disgusted by this whole sordid affair. WLP has been there how long? And how many of those years have the supposedly 2A friendly Republicans held both houses and the White House during his tenure, and what anti 2A roll backs did we see during those years? If I didnt have a life membership. I damn sure wouldn't renew. That next level benefactor/patron membership is on indefinite hold. I'll be writing a letter for sure. I have already voiced my opinion to someone who is close to a board member. I hope this gets fixed quick. If the NRA gets broken, gun owners are boned.

DC normative levels of graft?
