Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- I’m Dan Wos, and welcome to another Ammoland News Second Amendment Update.
Former congressman, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, is challenging Wayne Lapierre for his job as Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association.
A group of former & current NRA board members has called on West to “rescue” the NRA from what they see as poor management. And Allen West answered their call.
The NRA has been under fire from people like New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Some claim that New York is just targeting the NRA because they are the most prominent gun-rights group in the country, while others think that internal corruption led the NRA to the pickle they are in today. AmmoLand News has both sides of the story.
In a report written by long-time NRA protagonist, Jeff Knox, he highlights that Lapierre makes more per month than the average NRA member earns in a year. He also talks about the private jets and all the extravagant spending. Jeff then reports how Allen West was early to publically question Lapierre when allegations of corruption first arose.
That’s one side of the controversy.
Former NRA President, David A Keene takes the other side of the coin. In his AmmoLand News article, he argues that West isn’t the right person to run the NRA. He claims that West is all talk & no action, then highlights some of West’s less than stellar leadership roles. Calling him a “show horse.”
David believes that the group backing West just wants to get rid of Lapierre from the NRA.
In his opinion, Lapierre has done an excellent job defending our gun rights. He believes no one could have done a better job leading the NRA through this firestorm. He believes that we wouldn’t have the 2nd Amendment rights we do today, without Lapierre as the head of the NRA.
Does the NRA need new leadership? Is it time for Wayne to step back and let new blood lead the way? What do you think about the race for executive vice president of the NRA?

Well that is a lose lose situation
LaPierre is everything wrong with the NRA. He is the author of every compromise, every surrender that has held back the 2A community for decades! NO EVP SHOULD BE IN THAT OFFICE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE; WE NEED TERM LIMITS!
Allen West is still not the man for the job my personal opinion. He does have a great military career to bring to the table. That would be his undoing with those in Washington in the political venue. He will be attacked from all sides and his career will be tarnished as democrats have no moral compass. Truthfully I would be more inclined to see a women with a impressive background apply for the title. Since 2019 more women have applied for handguns in America than ever before . I believe if you are going the shake up those opposed… Read more »
No one could’ve done a better job: of keeping “gun free” zones in “carry” laws, pocketing our $, bankrupting NRA & leading it into this firestorm.
Let’s Go LaPew!
I hate politicians, they have a career built on compromise. The NRA has always eroded our 2A rights, which I can see a lot of boomers loving a red team politician. A lot of people would be better than Lapierre.
Regardless of accomplishments or abilities, when a person in business becomes the long-standing issue, instead of the issues being the issue, that person should step asside. Ditto for politics.
