Takeaways
The executive vice president (EVP) is the CEO of the NRA and historically has had too much control over the board of directors.
Four reform candidates were elected to the board of directors, indicating a desire for change among the members.
The NRA annual meeting was characterized by stalling tactics and a lack of transparency from the establishment leadership.
A resolution to move the NRA to Texas was voted down by the members. The election of reform-minded individuals to leadership positions at the NRA annual meeting is a positive step towards change and accountability.
The financial challenges faced by the NRA require support and contributions from members and the industry.
Collaboration with other organizations in the gun community is crucial for effective advocacy and protection of individual liberties.
Continued member involvement and pressure on the board of directors is necessary to ensure ongoing reform and accountability.
The NRA must focus on core activities, such as education, training, and customer service, to provide value to its members and attract new ones.
