Oliver North, NRA PRESIDENT!

[PGRChaplain]

Oliiver North elected NRA President today!

 

[Alpo]

Well, he IS an experienced gun dealer.

 

[Dead Duck]

From Lieutenant Colonel to President Oliver North.
That's one hell of a promotion.

 

[throttletony]

Wow, i hope it's a good change. I'll have to look into him more.

Alpo, are you a member?

Alpo, are you a member?

From time to time.

Didn't renew when that Michigan guitar picker got voted onto the board.

Couldn't find someone with more baggage?

Reuter's sub-headline...'Oliver North, best known for Iran Contra, elected NRA president'...

Headlines were writing themselves.

or is it

curious which one has the first time stamp

 

[BigRed]

Would this guy take whatever measures necessary to protect his family, his property and his person?

 

[Ark]

If he ever decides to do the "from my cold dead hands" pose, he should do it with an AK.

 

[24Carat]

I was pleasantly surprised .

Glad we are blessed with so many pure as the driven snow in these ranks!

Maybe if Col North had just given Iran skids of untraceable dollars to fund terrorism, it'd be OK? Oh, and there's permission to finish the nukes. Almost forgot about that little tidbit...

I think he is a good dude, no matter what baggage he brings. I have watched him a couple of times on Fox News, and he is brilliant, well-spoken and knowledgeable, and very much pro 2A. The left will have a hay day with this however...

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

I'm pretty sure my dad still has an "Ollie North for President" hat from the late 80s/early 90s?
I remember watching the hearings on tv

 

[Expat]

I remember well how discombobulated the Dems were. They thought they were going to destroy some uppity light colonel. The he showed up in uniform and went all Marine Corps officer on them and most of America lined up on his side.

It strikes me as a "preaching to the choir/fundraising" choice vs a "connect with the undecided/good PR" choice.

I know she just got elected to the board, but Julie Golob would be a much tougher target to attack and has an excellent resume. She's also tougher to paint as "NRA is old white guys who luvs the MURDER111!!!" slander campaign that's currently running against the NRA and gun owners in general. A woman who engages in shooting sports, writes children's books for gun safety, etc vs a guy who has all the baggage of Iran Contra and that end run around the law, a felony conviction that he later got overturned on technicality, lost his handgun license as an "improper person" for lying to congress...

Maybe she doesn't want the job (yet)? Plus, Julie has a few skeletons in her own closet. On more than one occasion, she was seen speaking with me and shaking my hand. There may have been a hug, but that may have been part of a dream. Doing what the president's team ordered you to do and then taking the hit for the team pales in comparison.
