Wayne ain’t going anywhere. Ollie is succeeding Pete Brownell.Very Interesting. I may just become a member if he wins. I have never liked Wayne LaPierre.

Given the actual job of President of the NRA, I think Ollie is a good choice.
This is of course the land of the brave and the home of the free. So given that, we are free to belong to whatever organizations we want.
But the truth of the matter is the only thing standing between your right to own firearms and the liberals desire to divest you of said firearms is the imperfect organization commonly referred to as the NRA. Don't mean to offend.
I like Pete Brownell and I liked everything I read that he said while he had the office.Wayne ain’t going anywhere. Ollie is succeeding Pete Brownell.
Kim Rhode, oh, that would be fantastic. Can we already start lobbying for her to be the next one?Actually, I'd have elected Kim Rhode.
This would be stupid. Nothing against someone caught up in political scandal, who was primarily just the scapegoat, but when you are heading a political machine about gun rights you shouldn't be a convicted criminal that was primarily known for smuggling arms. Might as well have Victor Bout.
Politics is not fair, it is half about reputation and perception, and why negative ads and smear campaigns and destructive scandal plays as big or more of a role than what the person really stands for or how good of a character they have.
Do you think having a guy connected to the Iran Contra affair known for supplying arms to Iran with whom we have a poor relationship, as the face of your gun rights is going to help in keeping them?
Or do you think it will help connect gun owners and the desires of the NRA with weapons smuggling and third world mayhem?
I think you would have a hard time finding someone more helpful to the antis in thwarting the goals of the NRA. Is the NRA trying to suicide? You think Oliver North in power if the Democrats win the next presidential election and get more control of Congress is not going to play right into the hands of passing some really bad legislation?
I can see the ads already, complete with images of Iranian Muslim extremists holding AKs and in Technicals looking no different to most in the west than Islamic State radicals or Al Qaeda.
And maybe toss in a few of the bad things the Contras did as well.
While he is calling for more gun rights and defeating the antis proposed bans.
Personally I would have preferred someone like Colion Nior. A young, intelligent, well spoken black man would drive the crazy far left anti gun folks nuts. Someone to help show that w'e're not all "old white rednecks" and could help the NRA attract younger members as well as minorities.
I don't care what color or sex the person is as long as they are the best for the job, but I am soo sick and tired of this kind of "Identity politics." even when it's in reverse.....
It does not matter if he is a convicted felon, the head of the NRA is a politician. A politician for gun rights shouldn't be a guy infamous for providing guns to Islamic Radicals and Central American violent groups.
I don't know if you could find a worse face for gun rights.
Hey, Hokie, sorry to get a little uptight about it... I just get sick of the left playing these games. He may be a great choice but to select him because he is a well spoken black guy is not the right way to go IMO. I don't want to play the same games as the left which does divide our country.. Again, I get your point but..... no... Again, sorry for the rant...
Wayne runs the show. The president is for PR.
