The National Rifle Association appears to be at the end of a six-year ordeal. Last month, the final order in its New York civil corruption case was handed down, and the outside law firm responsible for handling it has left. To talk about the latest developments, we have NRA board member Rocky Marshall on the show this week. He joined us from the group’s latest board meeting in Texas and said the group is focused on the future. Marshall, who has been a staunch critic of former leader Wayne LaPierre and the Brewer law firm, said the board is now united in its focus. He broke the news that LaPierre has now paid back the millions of dollars the New York jury said he owed the NRA. He also said the group’s new leadership, including CEO Doug Hamlin and top lobbyist John Commerford, is secure in their positions. Marshall outlined his view of what the NRA needs to do in the coming months and years to regain the trust of the millions of members who’ve fled the group over the corruption. And he announced a new, much larger campaign for the reformer block in this year’s NRA election. You can listen to the show on your favorite podcasting app or by clicking here.
