Wayne LaPierre is the most cost effective leader the NRA has ever had. People who bad mouth him have no clue as to what the NRA is doing. Folks who say the NRA is mismanaged don't have any sense of real world business.
Some folks say the NRA mismanages funds....Really? REALLY? Who do you want representing us in DC? The Big Lebowski or a well dressed lawyer? The whole mismanaged money thing was a ploy by New York liberals to split the membership of the NRA. And it succeeded. The anti gunners love it when we are divided. United we are strong. Divided we are weak. We are strong with NRA.
If you want to influence government Congressional reps do you take them to Golden Corral or Ruths? It is not that complicated.
The other gun organizations are no where near as influential, powerful or successful as the NRA. Simple as that. And it costs a lot of money to run a multi million dollar organization.

Wayne LaPierre has single handedly, with help of the NRA organization, done more to protect and expand legal gun owners rights than anyone on this forum, or probably the entire U.S. They have the most clout and most savvy, most contacts, full time lobbyers, lawyers and legal machine to deal with the CONSTANT attack on our freedoms. Libs love to plus up the NRA CEO's salary. He gets travel expenses medical and a retirement package. LIKE ALL CEO"s and most employees!!!!
For what he has done.....WLP is a BARGAIN.
