Another critic of National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre is being pushed out of the organization.
Judge Philip Journey, who has been at the center of several efforts to remove current NRA leadership, has not been renominated to appear on the ballot for next year’s board election. That makes his road back onto the board far more difficult.
“As an incumbent Director your name was submitted to the NRA Nominating Committee which met on August 27, 2022,” NRA Secretary John Frazer said in a letter to Journey on Monday. “I regret to inform you that you were not renominated.”
The move is the latest in a long-running internal fight between LaPierre supporters and detractors at the NRA. After it was revealed that LaPierre and other members of leadership systematically diverted millions of dollars in the non-profit’s funding towards lavish personal expenses, including private flights and trips to exotic locations, the gun-rights group has endured a power struggle that has seen a dozen board members, former president Oliver North, and former top lobbyist Chis Cox pushed out. Journey’s likely departure is also another example of LaPierre’s staying power and continued control of the organization.

I stopped supporting the NRA when Oliver North resigned. I fear the NRA is now a corrupt organization. I don’t plan to support it ever again.
As do I. Wish they'd thought to archive his "hotline" telephone message recordings from back in the 1980s and 1990s. They'd be instructive to a lot of younger pro-gun people who don't remember those times.
LaPierre actually did a good job back then, rallying the membership against the policies of Bush 41 and Clinton. In recent years, though, it's a damned good thing that other pro-RKBA organizations have flourished and gained power. It seems like Wayne is going to stay right where he is until they carry him out feet-first; hopefully the NRA will be smart enough to revitalize itself at that point, Until then, it seems to be a spent force.
I remember Neal and Harlon. Cincinnati 1977.
We lack the leadership for an awakening.
I have lost faith, and am supporting GOA.

I thought this sick SOB was banned?
No such luck.

Ignore the SOB.
I think he’s mentally ill, and thrives on attention.
Any attention. Especially “bad” attention.
Don’t feed it.
