Wayne LaPierre resigns from NRA

[4v50 Gary]

Found it on Newsweek online and then on another website. In this second site he reveals his internal struggle arising from mass shootings he felt he enabled.

This was a parting shot to hurt the 2A. If he has resign, the NRA needs to rebuild and reestablish its credibility.

Please let's not turn this into a bashing the NRA thread.

What a scum bag! Typical response from someone who was caught doing something wrong.

All the board of directors should resign also for allowing him to misappropriate funds for personal gain.

That reads like satire. I don't think it's true, fairly certain that is a satire website.

Not a reputable source. Can't find it elsewhere. Hope it's true. anyone have another source?

LaPierre DID NOT resign; one of his allies did.

From the Newsweek article dated 2/18/22:

"A longtime ally of National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre has resigned after serving on the organization's board of directors for 23 years.

NRA board member Todd Rathner did not explain why he was leaving [emphasis mine] while announcing that he was stepping down in a statement posted to social media on Thursday."

Read past the headlines on the google results page, folks.

Wonder if there is a deal with the Feds or NY Attorney General?

Let's state this clearer. The story linked in the OP is fake, a satire piece on a satire website. The Newsweek story is about a long time ally of WLP resigning NOT WLP himself

WLP is still in power at the NRA.

A shame.

Yup. Satire is obvious.
