NDIANAPOLIS—In a surprising move, National Rifle Association officials announced Saturday morning that Oliver North has resigned as president, as infighting and controversy have
taken hold at the gun rights group’s annual meeting.
Ina letter read by the group’s vice president to kick off the gathering, North said that he will not seek reelection as NRA president, and went on to attack the NRA law firm that filed a
lawsuit against its leading ad firm. “There is a clear crisis” at the NRA regarding financial allegations, he said in a Saturday letter.
The NRA’s CEO Wayne LaPierre received a standing ovation at the beginning of the members meeting. He was seated next to Oliver North’s empty chair and placard.
He's been accused of extorting the CEO and an improper relationship with an ad firm
Say it isn't so. That sounds entirely out of character for Oliver Nor-

The NRA don't actually care about gun rights, by the by.
Just the promotion of arms trafficking.
Pretty much! Not helping is how they're responsible for getting them trafficked to begin with. So FYI: These are the cunts responsible for getting full-auto firearms banned. Everyone fucking loses
Oliver north was a fucking stupid choice anyways. You let a pardoned criminal, who without said pardon would be banned from owning guns, lead the largest and most influential guns rights organization? What fucking morons thought that would be a good idea in any capacity?
Being a criminal who committed to the act of high treason and did everything to protect the hand that feeds him was his qualification. being a suckup to power is one of the few requirements to join any conservative circle.
As for why the NRA keeps pissing money at the republicans I have no idea, lobbying groups are supposed to play both sides so they don't have to fear the retribution of the unsupported side when they inevitably get a chance to take the lobbying groups sponsors down a notch.
The only thing that can stop a bad lobbyist is a good lobbyist.
Seriously these are the groups you could very well support over the NRA:
Gun Owners of America - They are responsible for Heller v. District of Columbia!
Socialist Rifle Association - Trying to make the hobby of gun owning less a conservative-only past time! News kids on the block, but they are also ingrained with several of the Militia Movement on the west coast and are pushing them away from Nazi influence.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership - Many founders of this organization are the children and grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors, and tend to be pretty hardcore about their 2A beliefs, and that's coming from me saying that!
Second Amendment Foundation - Heavily involved with publication and radio waves. Responsible for McDonald v. Chicago.
Pink Pistols - LGBTQ gun rights activist. Have been actively fighting for shall issue permits in big cities to protect against gay bashing.
A Girl and A Gun - Women's Activist group dedicated to providing another voice for equalizing force.
Please, I beg of you to support any of these organizations over the NRA.
ah but when one side holds an asymmetric, outsized amount of control you don't have to fear retribution, plus democrats don't really stick to hardline ideologies like lobbiests would prefer.
