The events have unfolded as the NRA holds its 148th annual meetings in Indianapolis, and in the wake of a lawsuit that the NRA filed against Ackerman McQueen, the group’s longstanding public relations firm, who has shaped the NRA’s pro-gun messaging and rhetoric for decades. North is aligned with Ackerman McQueen, whereas the board and LaPierre have recently argued that the organization’s media operations have continued to stray from their original priorities of outdoor life and gun safety. These concerns are particularly clear when it comes to NRATV, the increasingly controversial media arm of the group which has recently veered into racially-charged territory that doesn’t align obviously with second amendment advocacy.
Hmmmmm…so the board wants to become less political and move back to their original intent. Now which lib here is against that?
I edited it because you started a thread that is negative towards this group and find the upcoming struggle to move this direction…“entertaining”. So I must ask the liberal perspective, who is against this…and more importantly…why?
Yep…the article makes it clear of that. It sounds like LaPierre is stating that it was the direction recommended by their hired PR firm and now he wants to return…and Col. North does not.
It could be? I wouldn’t know and don’t pay it much attention but…over the years, I agree that it was LaPierre’s face that was spouting the political rhetoric that the NRA was pushing.
