NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

SFGate: NRA chief Wayne LaPierre received a 57% pay raise in 2018, tax filings show.
 
Wingnuts still kissing the king's ring over there at NRA land. You can tell quite a bit about an organization by who can criticize bad behavior. At NRA, no one can and stay. The lessons of Penn State should not be ignored. Silence only creates a larger train wreck down the tracks a bit further. Yet, anyone with half a brain knows when an old guy uses company money to house a young lady intern in housing that a line was crossed. Poor judgement is just not plausible. And so it goes. The fall will be sudden when it happens and the damage will take years to unwind. Fox News saw what happens with bad behavior by a guy that was too powerful to reprimand.

At this point the acceptance of the malfeasance from the NRA leadership is more of an indictment on the membership then anything else.
 
I'm not sure what the membership is supposed to do? Impeach him? I don't think the members have that power.
 
At least as a member, I can still keep voting for a change in leadership of the BoD. Wish it just felt like it was doing something something good for the organization.
