Opinion: The New York lawsuit to dissolve the NRA is an opportunity for the organization to reform under new leadership
Much of America just learned what I have known for many years: The senior leadership of the National Rifle Association is thoroughly corrupt.the NRA. The 169-page complaint alleges flamboyantly extravagant travel, double-dipping by high-ranking insiders, egregiously bloated salaries for the executive elite and recurring and abusive violations of NRA’s own bylaws by members of the board of directors.in which I questioned some of these same transgressions.
are landing in mailboxes as I write. “This is nothing more than a disgusting, brazen attempt by gun-ban politicians to shackle freedom and leave regular, law-abiding Americans defenseless,” reads one. Of course, these aggrieved letters from LaPierre make no mention of the fact that he and other NRA execs allegedly squandered as much as $64 million over just three years on personal travel for their families. LaPierre alone took eight trips to the Bahamas and safaris to Africa. My fellow NRA members, roughly 5 million of them, should be repulsed when they digest the specifics of the greedy con game LaPierre’s minions have perpetrated with their hard-earned contributions.
But the boldest move of all, the one that could truly rescue this beleaguered organization would be to hire a well-known pro-gun Democrat as the executive director of the NRA’s lobbying arm—the Institute for Legislative Action. This isn’t as crazy as it sounds. That breed of Democrat, which used to be common in Congress . But their ideological descendants are numerous, even if they’re no longer in Congress. There are former Reps.
