A comment was made on Facebook which I think epitomizes what some of us see as the issue at the NRA.
Chris Meissen wrote in reference to a story in a non-profit journal covering the issues at the NRA:
LaPierre is behaving like a mini-Maduro, dragging the organization down around him while trying to hold on to power.
I think he has hit the nail on the head. Wayne LaPierre's scorched earth approach to maintaining power may be good for Wayne but is horrible for the NRA as an organization. I acknowledge there are many good people on the Board of Directors. Some want Wayne gone and some still support him.
As to why those who still support him do so, I can think of three reasons. You have those who are in thrall of him like NRA President Carolyn Meadows based upon what he did years ago. Then you have those afraid of him for whatever reason. Finally, you have those who fear that with Wayne gone the golden goose will be gone with him. Thus you have the delusional, the fearful, and the greedy keeping Wayne in his position of power at least for the time being.
