Wayne LaPierre - The War on Guns

FISBO

Along these lines, we are going to explore the marketability and potential sale of our headquarters. [More]

Be funny if Giffords bought it.

Reduced Circumstances

The NRA Has Lost Over a Million Members Since Corruption Allegations Surfaced [More]

Don’t look for what it will take to reverse that to happen because the main objection has no choice but to hang on for dear life.

And don’t look for a Board of Directors armed with rubber stamps to play the role of the Roman Senate.

Worth a Thousand Words

NRA’s Revenues As A Chart [More]

At what point does the shrinking vanish into nothingness?

Looks like Wayne and his hip pocket board are doing Letitia James’ work for her.

The Price of Non-Admissions

Pitiful, just pitiful. Corruption everywhere, members’ money being pocketed, embezzlers in the highest ranks, the Audit Committee covering everything up rather than investigating, and the spineless board being deceived and unwilling to object. [More]

Kinda makes me wanna go right out and join the Wine Club…

Doubling Down

Be it resolved that the members of the National Rifle Association of America, in convention assembled, does declare its profound support for the past, present and future leadership of its executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre…One prominent LaPierre backer, Janet Nyce, denounced Wayne’s critics as “the enemy within,” whom she blamed for taking “our beloved NRA down to her knees.” A former sheriff from Montana, who is also a board member, insisted he was “getting tired of these s*** o* b****** at every one of these meeting coming in and trashing Wayne LaPierre.” [More]

Make your decisions accordingly.

The Devils We Know

NRA: Allen West’s Run For Wayne’s’ Job Will Not Prevail In Houston [More]

I have no problem objectively assessing West’s qualifications and capabilities. The membership should insist on that for all positions. We don’t need a popular figurehead, we need a principled leader who knows how to get things done.

That said, HW/Dole/Romney backer David Keene and his American Conservative Union are actively undermining the Second Amendment by greasing the skids for the cheap labor “pathway to citizenship” sellout.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
