I don't believe him, Scott L. Bach. WLP and the board have violated my trust and it will not won back by trying to revise and smooth over history.

The leaked documents showing frivolous spending of members money and the nepotism that funneled members money to friends of WLP and the board.

Interesting reading.
Since NRA membership is required to belong to the local gun club I am a member, but the politics of the organization aren’t something I have ever paid much attention too. Or cared about for that matter. For me it’s kind of like being on an airliner and trusting that the pilot knows how to fly the airplane. There has been some turbulence over the years, but so far the wings have remained level and the plane is still flying.

Come on those leaked documents are all over the internet. We have discussed them several times here before in these threads. There is plenty of info in them showing frivolous spending and nepotism and at no point in time has WLP or the board claimed those leaked documents were falsified.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is with profound disappointment that each of us hereby tenders our resignation from the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association, effective immediately.
We proudly agreed to serve as board members of the NRA because of our steadfast belief in the Association’s core mission of protecting the Second Amendment and its leadership’s commitment to serving its members with honesty, integrity and transparency. While our belief in the NRA’s mission remains as strong today as ever, our confidence in the NRA’s leadership has been shattered.
As Board members, we are duty bound to act with care and in the best interests of the NRA and its mission. Proper discharge of that duty compels us to speak up and take action when we become aware of matters within the Association that run counter to its mission, governing principles, policies, or the law. Over the past several months, there have been numerous, highly-publicized allegations of impropriety leveled against the Association and certain members of its executive leadership team. In exercising our oversight responsibilities as Board Members, we have sought information and requested certain actions be taken with respect to these allegations, only to be rebuffed at every turn. We had expected – or at least hoped— that the executive leadership team would recognize the seriousness of these allegations and work with us in a constructive and transparent manner to address our concerns and minimize any further harm to the Association. Instead, we have been stonewalled, accused of disloyalty, stripped of committee assignments and denied effective counsel necessary to properly discharge our responsibilities as Board members.
As a result of the foregoing, we are left with no other choice but to resign as members of the Board of Directors. In doing so, however, we hope that our action will serve as a catalyst for much needed reform within the NRA so that it can return its focus to the mission which we remain unwaveringly committed -- protecting the Constitution of the United States and especially, the Second Amendment.
Sincerely,
Esther Schneider
Sean Maloney

No. Not no, but heck no. We are not doing this yet again. Some of y'all are one hit wonders, only able to repeat the same thing over and over and over again. We have already said we ain't going to wade into this mess. It never ends in anything other than an argument.
