USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Today three of the most outspoken NRA board members resigned from the National Rifle Association Board of Directors.
In a series of letters each expressed their disappointment with leadership stating that their “confidence in the NRA’s leadership has been shattered” and that they as individuals had “been stonewalled, accused of disloyalty, stripped of committee assignments and denied effective counsel necessary to properly discharge our responsibilities as Board members.“
Their letter states “In doing so, however, we hope that our action [ resignations ] will serve as a catalyst for much needed reform within the NRA so that it can return its focus to the mission which we remain unwaveringly committed — protecting the Constitution of the United States and especially, the Second Amendment.”
What follows is their official resignation letters:

In related news, a letter from NRA President, Carolyn Meadows to Board members was also leaked to online forums 07/29/2019 and may have been the main catalyst for the group’s resignation.

My question is does the 3 leaving give adam kraut a seat at the table?
If it does im laying in a supply of popcorn and delicious beverages! Its gonna get interesting.
I have stayed quiet on this subject up till now. – The NRA and its operations. I am a Patron life member. There is no higher level of membership. I would like to be on the board but I do not have a name to get me elected or added to the ballot. I have supported the organization for years. The NRA is vilified for every shooting in this country. You should know the NRA hasn’t shot anyone. No member has killed a single soul. The purpose of the NRA per its charter is to protect the rights of the… Read more »
Tom King is the poison in the well…along with all those other crooks on the board. May you all rot in that well you call home.
Board members standing against malfeasance are helplessly lost in the crowd of 77. It’s best that they work from the outside to remove the remaining self serving directors. Our NRA is to protect the right to arms for all Americans. Its BoD is doing the opposite and depleting our resources. About $100,000 a day to a nepotism law firm and promoting of Red Flag laws is what we have. There is no attempt to reverse. We need to protect the all rights of Americans, starting with the right to arms. Our primary organization’s leadership is against us. Anyone who does… Read more »
The resigning BOD officers Esther Schneider, Sean Maloney and Timothy Knight put the lie to President Carolyn D. Meadows public statement of 2 months ago. These directors refute the smears that they are NRA adversaries as falsehoods, that in attempting to execute their BOD responsibilities they: “…have been stonewalled, accused of disloyalty, stripped of committee assignments and denied effective counsel necessary to properly discharge our responsibilities as Board members” NRA member Ron Carter was threatened by BOD Officer Tom King with being sued for daring to question an exorbitant expense of 1 airplane ride that cost $40,345.00. The one leaked… Read more »
73 is still too many board members. Half that is still too many? Twelve to fifteen sounds about right.
Maloney, Knight, and Schneider should have stayed and quietly gathered evidence, passed along information, and awaited opportunities.
Rats leaving a sinking ship or people that are ashamed of what they have allowed to occur under their noses? We could do without a lot of board members as it is. If the NRA is to survive, which I feel is a good thing, sweeping changes need to be made. Sure would like to see someone there address the issues instead of offering trinkets to sign up for more years of membership.
Wayne L. will be the last man standing at the NRA – a Farce of One. Please, BOD, take him out before the damage is irreversible.

Any successful salesman/businessman will tell you “don’t bad-mouth your competition”.
I don’t know if your bad-mouthing the NRA is driving people towards NRA or not, but I suspect you are driving them away from GOA.
Your incessant “Join GOA” posts are not helpful in any way, shape, or form.
