Meet the NRA's Board of Directors

[hortysir]

The nut doesn't fall far from the tree...

That whole, "no family" rule really sucks right about now

 

[Lakhota]

Ain't America great...

 

[OODA_Loop]

Ain't America great...

It has run its course.

Too divided.

Too divided.

yep..the crazy and lazy have taken it over..

 

[hortysir]

Ain't America great...

Yes it is.

And your sig ignores the meaning of a comma

Ain't America great...

Yes it is.

And your sig ignores the meaning of a comma

the comma was not in the same place when drafted as it was when it was ratified.

 

[jillian]

Ain't America great...

It has run its course.

Too divided.

As opposed to the 1860's?

the 1940's?

the 1960's?

 

[Wry Catcher]

David Keene
The current NRA president is the former chairman of the American Conservative Union. In 2003, his son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for firing at another driver during a road rage incident.

Scary...

So his son doing something stupid with a gun automatically disqualifies him from being a board of director for the NRA?

No, it suggests that the policy of the NRA puts others at risk. Otherwise, the father might have counseled his son to behave differently.

Not opposed to. Via the.

The National Rifle Association claims to speak for more than 4 million gun owners. But the shots are really called by a hush-hush group of 76 directors. The majority are nominated via a top-down process and elected by a small fraction of NRA members. A breakdown of the current board, based on their official bios:

87 percent are men. 93 percent are white.
25 percent are current or former federal, state, or local lawmakers or officials.
22 percent are current or former law enforcement officers. 30 percent are current or former members of the military.
24 percent are lawyers.
12 percent are entertainers or athletes.
64 percent are hunters. 71 percent are sport or competitive shooters.
At least 71 percent were nominated, endorsed, or selected by the NRA's Nominating Committee.
​

Some notable members of the NRA's current board of directors:

David Keene
The current NRA president is the former chairman of the American Conservative Union. In 2003, his son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for firing at another driver during a road rage incident.

Tom Selleck
The Magnum, P.I. star, gun buff, and vocal gun-rights supporter was the top vote-getter in 2008's board election. (Fellow '80s TV heartthrob Erik Estrada sought a seat on the NRA board in 2011 but eventually withdrew his candidacy.)

Ted Nugent
At the NRA's 2012 annual conference, the Nuge announced, "If Barack Obama becomes the next president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," prompting a meeting with the Secret Service.

Oliver North
"I love speaking out for the NRA in large part because it drives the left a little bit nuts," says the Iran-Contra conspirator and Call of Duty pitchman.

Larry Craig
The former Idaho senator sponsored a 2005 law protecting gun makers from liability in connection with their products being used by criminals. The NRA spent $1.8 million on lobbying Congress that year.

Grover Norquist
The president of Americans for Tax Reform is a NRA Life Member and member of the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association. After Newtown, he echoed the NRA's line: "We have got to calm down and not take tragedies like this, crimes like this, and use them for political purposes."

Just curious, how many other Board of Directors of other groups have you researched or does the anti-NRA media report on?

Or do you only care about the BODs of groups that support the 2nd Amendment or support anything you might not?

Same old selective BS bias. Yawn is right.

 

[Cowman]

I'm a little surprised that Clint Eastwood isn't one of the 76 board members.

you asses have become damn scary and I think we should all be worried

People better start taking precautions..

Spoken like a true scary person.

"People better start taking precautions... people better start taking precautions against people like you. We better stop worrying about you and start doing something about you..."

 

[emptystep]

And two board members are sitting U.S. House members, one Democrat and one Republican.

By that "logic", Barack Obama should resign immediately because one of his relatives drove drunk.

 

[hortysir]

I would ask for something to support that claim, but it's moot, as ratification = law
:thumbsup:

I guess that's just how it goes. Progressives for a Fairer America has three Democratic House members on its board.

You're just upset your people got their asses whooped by a bunch of white men.

You of all people should know that government dependency doesn't work.

I mean seriously, how are the American Indians faring these days?


BTW I'm a lifetime member of the NRA.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

You were denied membership huh?


Color me surprised.
