"LaPierre's interim successor will be his spokesman, Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA's executive and head of general operations."
This is not a very good sign.

One month ago, Joe DeBergalis was head of General Operations, when he was suddenly replaced by Andrew Arulanandam, a PR person with no experience in General Operations or in management. Rumor had it that DeBergalis had no use at all for the Brewer Law Firm, while Andrew worked with Brewer’s PR branch.

Can someone provide insight? What is the relevance of the Brewer law firm? I haven’t kept up with everything that’s been going on.

Haven't been following it since I left the NRA behind, but isn't that Wayne's very favorite extremely expensive law firm... run by a DimocRAT?

Brewer is Wayne's kickback partner. Millions of NRA money has been funneled through them, and they've not wasted any opportunity to bill even more hours.

NRA has cut its spending on Education and Training by over $100 million, from $176 million per year to only $75 million. Meanwhile, in 2022 the Association paid the Brewer firm over $60 million – more than twice the total annual revenue of all other national gun rights organizations combined.

They won when they supported and helped draft the NFA and Federal Firearms Act, and then supported the 1968 GCA. The NRA has a rich tradition of supporting infringements.

From a Times article:
Nothing like coming together and preventing black people from exercising their second amendment rights. It’s a time honored tradition for gun control proponents… and the NRA helped (and Reagan).

Cotton is still tone deaf and clueless.
“President Trump’s unwavering support for the Second Amendment, and his track record of protecting the rights of gun owners make him an exemplary speaker for this momentous event,” Charles Cotton, the group’s president, said in a statement. “His fellow NRA members can’t wait to hear from him for the eighth time.”

Ya, we have zero real chance of winning as long as rabies infected NRA Bashers ignorance prevails from understanding the truth behind whose Lawyers, whose money was behind the Bruen case.
I would like to request a new thread, an NRA Bashers thread where those foaming at the mouth from terminal NRA Rabies can gather once a week to display their ignorance.

As it weighed the biggest gun case in decades, the Supreme Court was flooded by briefs from groups and individuals who had been paid by the NRA.

Typical "all or nothing" closed minded comments coming from the NRA is perfect fuddery. I've never said the nra does nothing.....they still have their place and have some success....but if I question if the nra money is lining Wayne's pockets.....or being spent on lavish expenses.......the die hard lifetime nra scrambled egg covered ball cap folks have a f***ing stroke. There is nothing wrong with demanding the nra do better!
For those of you who don't have a military background......below photo shows scrambled eggs on a cap.

If only they could buy American made products.

Helicopter rides to Nascar races......private jets......
Still think the nra is on solid ground? I think we can do better.
And before you claim "fake news".....he testified under oath he approved the helicopters and private jets for entertainment......not business.

Wayne LaPierre says he approved helicopter rides so NRA execs could avoid traffic while going to NASCAR races
On his second day testifying in his civil corruption trial, LaPierre said he authorized $16,000 worth of helicopter trips.

NRA has paid the Brewer law firm over $100 million over four years (which doesn’t include this trial).
Suspect payments, Total of $369 million over eight years. The first four are David KcKenzie’s companies, total of $114 million. The next three are Ackerman McQueen, total over $215 million. The three after that are Gayle Stanford, who booked the executive jets for the LaPierres, total over $16 million.
Payments for limousine services, $807,000 over eight years. No taxis or Ubers for this trendy crowd! Woody Phillips alone accounted for over $202,000. Millie Hallow and Tyler Schropp racked up over $100,000 each.

Oh, it's even worse than we can possibly imagine... mind-blowingly bad.
We have been conned, robbed and raped by a master thief and his cronies.
When I think how much my family donated and paid for memberships over the Wayne decades, I am in shock at how it was all mostly stolen and wasted.
The whole organization needs to be flushed and reformulated or it will serve only as a leftist joke about how stupid and naive gunowners can be.
All of these orgs operate on inciting fear to fool gun owners into opening their wallets and donating. Then, once they have the cash they do as the please. NAGR is a well known fear monger. Latching onto a bill that has no hope of passage to incite fear to raise $$$. GOA is less slimy but once they get your $$$ they do as they please. Such as filing this Supreme Court brief to get trump on the ballot in Colorado. No matter how you feel about bump stok banning, take the guns first due process second Donald trump, ballot acces is not really a second amendment issue. Yet, GOA used gunowner donations to hire lawyers to file a brief.Oh, it's even worse than we can possibly imagine... mind-blowingly bad.

Millie Hallow was known to be stealing from NRA 20+ years ago, and nothing much was done about it. The report itself is and was hyper-secret, and NRA’s attorneys fought like hell to keep it sealed. You can, on the other hand, read it here. (LOL!). It gets interesting after p. 16. She was putting half-a-million a year on her NRA Amex card. P. 18 notes that she reimbursed NRA with the entire of a bonus she was given. (NRA leadership gave her a bonus so she could reimburse NRA, in other words. Why would anyone give a bonus to an employee they just caught in embezzlement?)
She charged a family vacation to Puerto Rico to the NRA card (must have flown first class, each airline ticket cost over a thousand). All this was known and documented 21 years ago, not just to NRA leadership, but to the entire NRA Audit Committee, to whom the report is addressed.
